This is a #MyBucaThanksgiving sponsored post written by me on behalf of Buca di Beppo® for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.
Are you ready for Turkey Day ? I know that I am. But what I’m not up for, are hours prepping for it in the kitchen. For me, my kids are of an age where I want to spend more time with them and my family. Meaning if I had my choice, I’d celebrating a Buca di Beppo Thanksgiving.
I can see it now…one quick phone call and I’d be making Thanksgiving reservations for the entire family. But its also just as easy to order Thanksgiving dinner to go. No matter what the choice, I know there will be something for everyone {and every age} to enjoy.
And just what is included in these grand Buca feasts? Mmmm…how do these wonderful Thanksgiving dishes sound?
- Sliced White Turkey
- Homestyle Gravy
- Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes
- Spicy Italian Sausage Stuffing
- Green Beans
- Cranberry Sauce
- Pumpkin Pie
Only on Thanksgiving do I relish every drop of cranberry everything. Which is probably why I only eat it once or twice a year. But I could just ladle the whole bowl of cranberry sauce over my sliced white turkey. I also may have a particular love for mashed potatoes. Saddle a big helping of green beans with that and I’m in holiday heaven!
And personally, all that and having all that extra time to spend with family would be worth it! I’d get to watch the football game. And pour over the Black Friday ads sooner. And the aspect of it all getting to the table at once means hot food for Mom!
With both a traditional Turkey Dinner and Thanksgiving Feast To Go, the options will feed everyone. Plus what I love, is that Buca di Beppo® has a customized Gluten Free menu. So in the oft chance that you do have a family member with dietary constraints, you can easily order additional dishes.
For me, I became acquainted with Buca di Beppo® after last Christmas. Recently divorced, I found myself picking the kids up on Christmas Day at 8pm. My quandary was that I had about an hour before they’d be tired. I rented a hotel room to decorate, and I was so relieved to have an open Buca di Beppo® around the corner.
Quite frankly the kids loved it so much, they don’t want anything else going forward. So the hotel is reserved, and with online holiday reservations its easy to reserve a table or pick up our Buca feast to go. With service so convenient, I don’t know why I’d go anywhere else.
So sometimes you can relish that time in the kitchen. And other times, you get to lean in on those great establishments that do the cooking for you. Whatever your situation, don’t be afraid to treat yourself to new traditions too. You just might end up loving Thanksgiving dinner even more!
