Thanksgiving Day Breakfast Menu
With tons of family in town, it's impossible for everyone to be ready to
eat at the same time. And with a huge meal being served in the
afternoon, no one wants a heavy breakfast or fat-filled donuts. Solve
the age-old dilemma of what to serve for breakfast on Thanksgiving
Day with this festive, sweet and savory menu that can be made ahead
of time.
A great tip: Set the breakfast table the night before, and keep it casual
since it isn’t the star meal of the day. Do yourself a favor and use
biodegradable, disposal plates and tie paper napkins with a festive,
holiday ribbon. Also include plenty of forks, spoons, knives, and
glasses so guests can serve themselves. Add some fresh flowers, a
few of your children’s Thanksgiving artwork pieces framed in old
picture frames, and enjoy the compliments! Happy Thanksgiving,
Moms!
