Thanksgiving is all about gathering with family and friends to share a delicious meal and to express gratitude for all the blessings in our lives. However, preparing for this special day can be time-consuming and overwhelming. That’s why we’re here to help you navigate the holiday to help you have an easy and successful Thanksgiving dinner.
Thanksgiving. There is no word that perfectly melds “family,” “friends,” and “food.” It’s a holiday that celebrates togetherness while honoring the plenty of the harvest table. Like many families, our Catering by Michaels family takes pleasure in the traditions surrounding the holiday. Through traditions, we enrich our connections to those who mean so much to us.
Our Delivery Event Coordinators wanted to share a few of their time-honored observances that make Thanksgiving Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving, the most food-forward holiday on the calendar, is a big favorite in our Catering by Michaels kitchens. It’s a time to excite all our senses and conjure feelings of happiness, joy, and contentment—with food at the center of it all.
Our 2021 Thanksgiving menu is available now for you to start planning your celebration. To highlight some items we offer, we asked members of our CBM family what their favorites are (keep reading to find out!).
We always do an annual Thanksgiving meal donation to Northwestern Settlement for 400 people so those in need can enjoy all the delicious traditions of a Thanksgiving meal. COVID-19 has destroyed our industry and continues to have a profound impact on our company. The events industry has been hit the hardest and so many of our favorite companies have already closed their doors. We have been hit hard, really hard, but there are so many people that are in need more than us. We really weren’t sure how we were going to make any donation work this year because of COVID-19. That is until we got a little help from our friends!
It is so hard to believe that we are halfway through October and already thinking of Thanksgiving. One of my favorite things about Thanksgiving is all the traditions and memories associated with the holiday. My job as a kid was to set the Thanksgiving table. I took this job very seriously. When I was about 7, I made salt dough turkey cut-outs and then hand-painted them with my sister and cousin. My mom still uses them at every place setting to this day. As I got older, I was in the kitchen with my mom all week leading up to the big day and those are some of my favorite memories cooking all day with my mom.
