Cozy Thanksgiving Table for Four

November 19, 2020 By Juliet 29 Comments

Thanksgiving Tablescape

Thanksgiving is less than a week away! It’s going to look a lot different this year. How many times have you heard that said?

Here’s how I’m setting our cozy Thanksgiving table for four.

Asian Bar and Orchid

So … yes, Thanksgiving at Snowberry will look different this year. Not just because of the pandemic, but because … we’re hosting!  When I say ‘hosting’ I mean we’re having two guests … bringing the grand total to four. Six if you count our dogs who will position themselves near the table.

Thanksgivings Past

The last time we hosted Thanksgiving dinner was 2001. You read that right … 2001. It was the year we met, and we decided to have a gathering at my house. It was a mix of our family and friends … meeting for the first time. And, included my dad, Jim’s mom and young son, and my former mother-in-law.

Beverage Bar

It was a lot of fun, although Jim learned the hard way not to offer guests more than one martini before dinner. I’ll spare you the particulars.

You know what they say …

One martini

Two martini

Three martini

Floor

He’s never made that rookie mistake again.

The Table

Here’s how I’m setting our Thanksgiving table for four …

Side note, I was in the (long) check out line at Target when this heather olive sweater caught my eye. I don’t suppose it was accidental, more like smart merchandising. Sweater weather finally arrived and because everything is more casual this year I think I’ll wear it for Thanksgiving dinner. It’s super soft and comfortable, but not so bulky as to get in the way of my sweating over a hot stove. As a matter of fact, I think I’ll order it in a few more colors to get me through the winter.

Outdoor Table Option

If we have a warming trend … not unusual for this time of year in California … we may eat outside, and I’ll recreate my easy fall outdoor table setting.

Fall table setting outdoors

We planned to buy a couple of space heaters for our newly renovated back patio. Unfortunately, we weren’t the only ones with this idea and there isn’t a space heater available to buy or rent in the entire state.

Still, we’re ready to get some use out of our trusty new fire pit and we may enjoy a toast and nibble on the back patio before dinner. The Aperol Spritz gets my vote for favorite fall cocktail … hmmm … maybe we’ll start with that.

Tray with wine

The Menu

Now for the important stuff. The menu. Because we’re a small group I’m not going to roast a whole bird. I’ve ordered a stuffed roatsted turkey breast from Good Eggs. Doesn’t that sound good?

The rest of our menu looks like this …

Southwest Vegetable Chowder

Roast Turkey Breast

Turkey Gravy

Goat Cheese Mashed Potatoes

Cranberry-Fig Chutney

Green Beans Gremolata

Cornbread and Bacon Stuffing

Rosemary Rolls

Pumpkin Pie Pudding with Coriander Sauce

Here’s a bad snap shot of the soup recipe. It came from Bon Appetite or Gourmet back in 1992. It’s a fall favorite that I make over and over again.

Southwest Chowder

I hesitate to link the pie recipe. It’s no gourmet creation … in fact it came from an old Pillsbury Cookbook (the kind they used to have on display at the grocery store checkout) eons ago. Don’t judge. It’s a recipe I remember fondly and this year I’m all about comfort food and nostalgia. I can’t believe I was able to track it down online.

I love Ina Garten’s make ahead recipes. I’ve made her Goat Cheese Mashed Potatoes to bring to friend’s homes for Thanksgiving. It’s delicious and travels well. And, honestly, I never met a potato I didn’t love.

Goat Cheese Mashed Potatoes

Food Network

We had entertaining in mind when we added a built-in buffet on the far side of the kitchen. It’s right next to the dining room so it’s perfect for serving buffet style.

Coffee Station and Cookbooks

The Wine

Jim’s in charge of wine. There will definitely be pre-dinner bubbles and I know he’ll serve a Silver Stag Winery Cabernet from our good friend’s Napa Valley vineyard.

I’d love to hear how you’re celebrating Thanksgiving this year. Despite the challenges of 2020, there’s much to be thankful for and I’m counting my blessings.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family … from Snowberry.

Cheers!

    Hi Juliet
    Your table looks beautiful. We normally have 20+for Thanksgiving but this year will have just the six of us. Well 6 1/2 including the most important guest Little Summer! Hopefully next year we will have the whole gang back together.

I have the navy and ivory in my shopping cart. This soup is so so good … and its even better made a day or two ahead. I’m all about making-ahead. Happy Thanksgiving to you too and thanks for being here! xo

    Random thoughts . . . your copper gutters are WOW!! I love the little “turkey” pumpkin!! Your table and menu, look amazing. I love each and every recipe and wish I could stop by and be your “taster” for the day!!! Do you really use pancake mix in the pie?? I have hosted Thanksgiving many times. This year it will just be our two kids and their spouses, our 2 year old grandson, and my dad. So a fairly small gathering for me LOL. I too have much to be thankful for!! God is good!!! Happy Thanksgiving sweet friend!!! Can’t WAIT to see pictures of your Thankgiving Day (hint hint!)

      Hi Robbin! Yes, I bought the buttermilk pancake and waffle mix this morning. It’s actually more like a cake I a pie crust … and the coriander sauce is AMAZING! Thanks for your comment on the gutters … it was a huge decision to move forward with them but we absolutely love them. It’s amazing how quickly they start to patina … the day they went up they were shiny like well polished copper pots. Sounds like you have a nice group for Thanksgiving … even thought it will be smaller. Having your grandson there will be so special. Happy Thanksgiving to your and your family! xo

    Hey Juliet It will definitely be a small gathering this year just my husband and son. Very different from the normal 20 that we have with my in-laws since Brian is on the East Coast. Hubby will smoke a turkey I’m not sure what sides we will prepare it will be a day of relaxing and watching football. I love your table setting I think that’s the best part of entertaining. Happy Thanksgiving

    Hi Juliet,
    Everything looks lovely and your menu sound delicious! I hope you’ll have a great Thanksgiving, even though things will be different this year.
    I decided on game hens instead of a turkey. With all the trimmings of course but with only 5 of us there’s no sense in cooking a big turkey and fussing with making gravy, too! I’m the only one in the kitchen so I’ll try to streamline things in order to have a few minutes to relax.
    Having grown up with dinners either plated or served buffet style, we always use the baking counter in my kitchen as a buffet for holiday dinners. I designed a similar counter in my SIL’s kitchen. Having that extra space makes all the difference, and keeps the table roomier and comfortable.
    Wishing you all the best for the holiday!
    Xo Heidi

      Hi Heidi … one of the positives out of the changes to celebrations this year is … we can cook something other than a whole turkey. Truth be told I’m not a fan of turkey and don’t want tons of leftovers. What I am a fan of is the side dishes. Especially the potatoes! Sounds like your SIL benefited from your design savvy … there’s nothing like a well laid out kitchen. We had to work with what we had in our place, so it’s not ideal … but it works. Especially for our small group. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and fun time preparing a wonderful dinner for your sweet family! xo

    I live in So Cal and 2 of my adult kids live in NorCal, so my SoCal Thanksgiving will be only my husband and I and our local adult daughter and her fiance. My NorCal kids take everything our Governor says absolutely literally and never stray from a single recommendation. Sigh. I appreciate their wanting us safe (we’re only 62) but at the same time, sad to spend my first Thanksgiving since they were born, without them. This too shall all pass, I suppose. We’ll make the best of it with our foursome!
    Please don’t ever hesitate to post vintage recipes! Especially during the Holidays, many of us love to serve a few nostalgic old recipes that remind us of Holiday meals a long time ago. Your soup recipe sounds delicious and I’ll be making it ahead, to serve on Wednesday eve before Thanksgiving. Thank-you for sharing such a wonderful post.

      Hi Ellie, I’m so sorry your entire family won’t be together this year. I know how hard it must be. It’s been a challenging and difficult year and never more so than as the holidays approach. I’m happy you’re going to try the soup. It’s so good and I make it again and again. It’s very filling and makes a great meal along with a salad and, of course, bread! Wishing your foursome a very Happy Thanksgiving. xo

    Juliet, I am so late to this… It’s been a crazy week. I just love your table- so pretty. The napkin color and rings I LOVE! You make everything lovely.I hope it was nice with the four of you. We did the same with adding just my dad. Luckily right before the pandemic we bought an outside heater at Home Depot. It was sheer luck and we’ve used it SO much. I heard you can’t even get them now! I love all your recipes. I always think about adding soup to my Thanksgiving sides – and also a salad, but the family always wants the same sides. I am going to add your recipe and the pumpkin pie to my Thanksgiving binder. I might try the soup this week! I have to say those old recipes are sometimes the best. I have a whole bunch of those from companies from my grandma and mom! You were are lucky not to have to host that much. I believe Max and I have hosted every year since we were married, except a few when my mom was here still- and the year before last when we remodeled. We love it and honestly are getting better at it each year as we are finally ‘adulting’ at our old age. And I love the martini story..we have had a few of those. Last year a guest was caught drinking out of the bottles straight from the bar..I won’t go there! I still hate dealing with the raw turkey and all that though. I’m thinking of something like the turkey breast or a vegan option next year. Well, I hope you can enjoy the weekend and relax! I will have to shop your post. Love all your pretty choices! xoxo Kim

      Oh my goodness, Kim … I LOVE your ‘martini’ story! This is the stuff which becomes family lore. Before my mother passed I hosted all holiday’s … and I loved it too. Now that we’re back in California and settled I intend to get back into the swing … this was just not the year. I have high hopes for holiday’s in 2021. And, I’ve already declared next year will kick off an annual holiday open house / cocktail party tradition. Sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Open houses are so fun and allow guest to drop by and get onto another part if need be. I hope you try this soup. It’s so good … and nutritious too. I did tiny portions in small martini glasses and served from a tray in our family room before we sat down at the table. But it’s a great family meal through the fall and winter. Hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend! xo

    Juliet, thank you for your always kind comments. I am not sure how I missed this post, I hope that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. This year it was just my husband and I, to be honest after this crazy year it was nice not to feel any pressure to have to go somewhere and divide our time between our two families.

    I hope that you have a wonderful weekend! Elizabeth

"True peace is not merely the absence of tension; "True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice." -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. #mlkquotes #martinlutherkingjr #mlkday
It's all in the details ... when we moved into Sno It's all in the details ... when we moved into Snowberry nearly a year ago the house wasn't quite finished. Each time we've remodeled (or built) I've sworn we will NOT move in until every last thing is done and - more importantly - the dust has settled and been swept away. It's never happened.
.
Back to the details ... all of the guest bath accessories from our Fidalgo Island house were sold with the house (along with all the furniture, most of the art, etc.) ... so I needed to start over in our tiny blue and white guest bath. With so many bigger issues to work through in the house, I didn't spend a lot of time with this little jewel box of a bathroom. A vanity tray and mirror from @target, hand soap and shampoo bottles from @etsy, a candle and navy blue towels did the trick. All the sources are on the Blue and White Bathroom Reveal post on the blog.

On the blog ... my first room reveal. It's Snowber On the blog ... my first room reveal. It's Snowberry's smallest room ... our blue and white guest bath. The post went up Friday, a few days late ... and I didn't have the heart to give it a shout out at the time. 
.
So far 2021 isn't off to the clean slate, fresh start, everything's-coming-up-roses scenario I'd planned. 
.
In addition to the shocking (and scary) events that took place in our nations capitol last week, Jim and I experienced two devastating losses. We're reeling.
.
My former husband, and dear friend, succumbed to Covid. He'd been in ICU, on a ventilator, since before Christmas. He contracted Covid in a medical facility while rehabbing from an unrelated health issue. In other words, the skilled nursing facility that was charged with his well being killed him instead. How can this happen?
.
If that wasn't enough, a good friend of Jim's died suddenly. Not Covid related.
.
Losing friends and loved ones is devastating no matter the circumstances. Being unable to properly mourn by gathering with family and friends ... to honor them, celebrate them and share tales of happy times ... feels intolerable.
.
The 23rd Psalm was my former husband's favorite. He wrote it out for me once when I was going through something and I've done the same for others in the decades since. It never fails to comfort me and perhaps you or someone you know can use a little comfort today.
.
Psalms 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He taketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters. 
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me;
Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence of mine enemies:
Thou anointest my head with oil;
my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life: 
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
for ever.
Order has been restored. Happy New Year! . I'm not Order has been restored. Happy New Year!
.
I'm not a resolution maker, but I do like to set an intention at the beginning of a new year. This year my intention is in the form of a simple, inspirational quote by beloved author, Dr. Seuss. 
.
"You'll never get bored when you try something new. There's really no limit to what you can do." 
.
Bring it, 2021!

It was so much fun decorating Snowberry for her fi It was so much fun decorating Snowberry for her first Christmas. As excited as I was to put the decorations up, it will feel good to take them down.
.
When I was growing up our family spent Christmas breaks at my grandparents house in Washington. Grandma left her tree, and other decorations, up until we departed sometime after the New Year. We loved it, but I bet we weren't to the freeway before she started putting things away.
.
I'll start putting ours away today and enjoy celebrating New Year's Eve ... and beginning the New Year with a clean slate.

How about you? When will you take your decorations down?

Christmas Eve is here! . No matter how old I get, Christmas Eve is here!
.
No matter how old I get, I wake up on Christmas Eve with a sense of excitement and anticipation. Growing up, my family spent the Christmas holidays at my grandparents house in Washington. On Christmas Eve Grandpa Hank, packed up the gifts and off we went to my aunt and uncle's. Before dinner all the adults went across the street to a neighbors annual open house. My mother, who did not 'cocktail' found this as tedious as all the kids. Once my mom had dragged everyone back, we sat down for dinner and then arranged ourselves around the tree to open gifts. My grandparents. were very generous and the gift opening went on for hours.After midnight we packed up the cars again and headed back to grandma's house to get to bed and await Santa's arrival.
.
Those were magical Christmas' and I treasure the memories.
.
Here's the wide view of our coffee/cocoa station situation. The one I droned on about yesterday. I take my morning cocoa very seriously.

Jim's coffee bar morphed into my Christmas cocoa s Jim's coffee bar morphed into my Christmas cocoa station. 
.
Speaking of cocoa, I ran out of cocoa powder and my replenishment order is delayed due to the volume of UPS Christmas traffic. Quell horreur!
.
At the beginning of lockdown our Starbuck's closed for a short period of time. This led to a renewed quest for an easy-to-use milk frother. Actually, it wasn't Starbuck's, but Jim's (early morning) golf game, that got me back on the hunt.
.
He'd been making my morning cocoa with his fancy coffee machine. The milk frothing operation is nothing short of complicated and the possibility of hot milk spraying all over me, the walls and windows was less appealing than starting the day without cocoa.
.
Anyway, one morning he left very early play golf and I found myself without Starbuck's or my at-home barista. It was time to renew my quest for a frother. 
.
Lo and behold, I found it on the first try. Breville's Hot Cocoa & Milk Frother is amazing. So amazing it made it onto my first-ever holiday gift guide (on the blog). I feel like I should buy a second one to put away just in case mine goes on the fritz and they discontinue it. This always happens with lipstick.
.
Yes, I'm slightly paranoid ... add this to my overhead-bin and pool chair anxiety.

We’ve had our tree up since Thanksgiving.
.
It’s a faux tree so no worries about losing freshness.
.
It’s also pre-lit, which is everything in my opinion.
We had Thanksgiving dinner next to the twinkling lights of the tree. It was so nice, I think it will be our new tradition.
.
In other new news ... I added a tree collar this year. A woven collar in a chestnut color from @balsamhill. I love it although storing it will be more of a challenge (space taker) than a tree skirt. But that's an issue for another day.

Only four days until Christmas. I'm up and out early. First stop, the post office for holiday stamps (my holiday cards are scheduled to arrive on Wednesday), then UPS to ship out-of-town gifts, and back home to tackle wrapping.
.
On Wednesday I'll morph into Santa's elf and door-drop gifts for my local friends and family.
