Blogsgiving Progressive Dinner Party Part 2

Welcome back to our week full of fun and tasty Blogsgiving Dinner ideas.

Today, we’re on to entrees, side dishes and salads. Our meal is well on its way.

I’ve got a Thanksgiving-inspired recipe that is simply easy to make and simply delicious. I really enjoy Thanksgiving, but one thing that I don’t like is spending all day in the kitchen. Even though I love cooking, I love being able to hang out with family even more.

This Mushroom Spinach Farro is a nice quick and healthy play on your Thanksgiving stuffing. You can even make it gluten-free by subbing brown rice or quinoa for the farro.

If you’ve haven’t hopped on the farro train yet, Thanksgiving is the perfect time to do so. Farro is a wheat-based grain that’s the perfect consistency (soft with a little chew), and it’s basically impossible to mess up.

About Blogsgiving

Thanksgiving is all about family, friends and delicious food. Luckily, the food blogging community is all about these things as well. To celebrate the holiday, Meghan from Cake ‘n’ Knife and Susannah from Feast + West are hosting Blogsgiving Dinner. There are 20 awesome blogs sharing 52 recipes

The idea is based on the old-fashioned progressive dinner party, in which you’d eat each course at a different guest’s home. Each blogger is bringing one or more dishes to the party on Monday, Wednesday and Friday of this week, so be sure to stop by each one and get some ideas for your own Thanksgiving meal.

Be sure to check out today’s recipes for entrees, salads and side dishes.

We’ll be posting to social media with the hashtag #blogsgivingdinner. Hope you can join us!
