Simple Rustic Farmhouse Thanksgiving Table Setting

For an avid entertainer like myself, Thanksgiving is the ultimate holiday to host.  This year I’m giving my Thanksgiving table a timeless, rustic update inspired by the colors of autumn, pumpkins, and a bountiful harvest.  This year’s table setting is all about bringing the harvest home and gathering with a grateful heart to celebrate with friends and family.

I partnered with my friends at Chinet to create a beautiful and stress-free table setting that your friends and family will love.  When it comes to entertaining I’m a firm believer in making it effortless, convenient and memorable for everyone.  With a few simple tips and your favorite Chinet products you too can create a beautiful Thanksgiving dinner table without having to sacrifice on style, and the best part is you won’t have to spend time in the kitchen doing dishes after the meal is over! 

This is one of my favorite side dishes to serve at Thanksgiving, not only does it look so colorful and pretty it is such an easy recipe to make for a large crowd.
