How to: Host a Trendy Friendsgiving
The holidays are coming up, and that means dinner party season is upon us. Here at Nosotros, we love to bring people together, creating spaces where we can connect, have fun, and eat well. Here are a few tips, tricks, and recipes from the Nosotros team to elevate your annual Friendsgiving get-together.
The first step to an immersive Holiday is the decorations; decor can make or break an atmosphere and set the tone of your party, even before your guests sit down to eat. Our style is what we like to call “minimal-ish”. Simple decor in neutral shades with accent pieces that reflect the season are, in our opinion, what keep the holiday traditions alive and IN. For place settings, these tree ring placemats and “thankful” napkin rings are great details that keep things classy and festive. For a centerpiece, glass pumpkins are an eye-catching, but simple way to bring the fall theme to the table – plus, they can be used in many ways. Let them stand on their own, or put some candles or fairy lights inside for an added touch.
Now, the most important part of any dinner party – the food. Even at Friendsgiving, we can’t mess with the Thanksgiving classics, but we do like to spice things up with the starters and sides. Plus, what millenial group doesn’t stay health-concious year round? Making this roasted pumpkin hummus will be a hit appetizer, and this vegetable quinoa soup is a delicious and healthy way to start the meal. Once you’re ready for dessert, we recommend trying this chocolate bread pudding alongside your pumpkin pie – trust us, you won’t regret it.
Of course, no Friendsgiving dinner party is complete without some delicious drinks. Our Nosotros Tequila Toddy is the perfect fall cocktail – easy to make and easy to enjoy. Mix up a few to take your crafty drink game to a new level.
