I enjoy how real the process is ...."I don't think I can put one more thing on this table.." ..next shot "I did add one more thing to this table"....this is probably 99% of all of planning a big dinner. Wonderful tips. The favorite for me is the folder of recipes. So one is not re-inventing the wheel and everyone's favorite appears plus a new thing to try. Thank you for the inspiration!

Ha! So glad you enjoyed it! Ha! It's always such a process of adding and taking away lol! And then maybe adding some more! LOL!

Beth, love when you show us all the nitty gritty in prepping for hosting a big holiday dinner. You’re a great culinary adventurer and glad you bring us along. Also, enjoy the fact that you can plan an Al fresco Thanksgiving dinner while I’m looking out my windows with fresh 8” of snow. We live near Tahoe and Sierras received 2nd snowfall in a weeks time.

I love your thoughtful way to arrange the people at the table, it makes a world of difference to make everyone feel included and considered.

Love love love this!!!!🍂🦃🍁 Beth WHAT would I do without you!!? You are such an inspiration!!! Thank you for bringing us along!❤️

Mom had 11 children… now add all the new husbands, wives and grandchildren we’re talking over 30 people for thanksgiving. She kept it super simple… turkey, dressing, mash potatoes, gravy, mixed veggie, rolls and pie … that’s it!! Delicious, simple and Mom made. 💕

When you showed the white flat pumpkins... the idea of pinning down some flowers and foliage on top of them came to mind. I imagined them in the middle of the table with lanterns or glowing candles, whole fruit, and dried corn, and I don't know what else but, you got my imagination going! Lol! You're very inspiring to me. Love you Beth!

Anyone invited to your dinners or parties are very lucky. No better way to show care and love then what you do for your family and guests.

I love watching these prep videos, Beth!! The pumpkins are gorgeous! (Neosporin, ha🤣) Wishing we could host Thanksgiving outside- what a foreign concept to this Midwesterner!

I love the dried corn on the buffet table. You could use some jute to cover the rubber bands or jute ribbon from the craft store. You will still have the natural look for fall. Love your videos.

I put each of my recipes in plastic page covers and then into a three ring binder. Protects the recipes (I’m a messy cook!) and you can remove them from your binder as needed.

Wow! What a gorgeous garden and in October! There are no leaves on the trees here now, and I've got my wood stove going to keep my house warm. L.A. seems a world away, but how lovely to be able to have Thanksgiving outside in November!

You’re AMAZING!!! You’re the hostess with the mostest! Thank you for the PRO TIPS on planning an event. It does help to write things down and I love how you set the table and took a picture of it. I less thing to worry about the day of.

As a Brit living in Canada, I’m with your husband Beth when it comes to the sweet/savoury combo. Not my thing at all! The sweetest combo I knew growing up was lamb with mint sauce!

Beth, your videos are such a gem on this platform. I always learn such helpful tips (and you never fail to make me cry with some of the stories like the one about the gravy boat, so sweet ❤). Your content is so authentic and I love how you strive to only put out quality videos like this one. I’m obsessed with your channel and I always look forward to new videos. Thanks Beth!

I love it Beth, your Plan and have a backup plan in case of rain, look to the weather 2 days before app, also plan that you will set up 2 tables, in the living room? The area that looks out to the patio with the french doors, and with the patio cover then some things could be under that area if it isn't too rainy outside. what a nice view for your guests...the tables could be side by side, one on the left and on one the right and it should work with your space. keep all the food on your dining table and move extra furniture to the garage for the party. can't wait to see part 2, and the main event. How many times did you say corn in the is this video? lol😆, you're doing all things I do to party prep. you're not alone. 😍

I cannot believe T-Day is just around the corner! We also like to give our guests "doggie bags," so I love your idea of the takeout containers. I laughed when you asked your husband if he wanted his potato side dish with the beautiful French name, or the corn pudding! Did you really expect him to choose the corn pudding?! So funny! Hahahaha! Looking forward to your next prep video. You always make it seem less intimidating than it can be. 🥰

Was very interesting! I love it! Would be also nice to see about your family traditions and kids raising tips, presents to get and cooking with kids)))

I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who thinks about thanksgiving prep a month in advance🤣🤣

So glad to know I am not the only one who obsesses over every detail for weeks in advance. It is all part of the fun of hosting (for me). Love the story of the gravy boat, so perfect for this season of gratitude!

You always have such good ideas when you're planning for a party! I love having the boxes for people to take home. I've used so many Rubbermaid containers that people never return and that gets expensive. Lol. Thanks for all the great ideas and helpful tips. Have a great week.

Roaster oven is the best gift ever. Your turkey that takes up all the time and all the space just cooks away on the countertop so your oven stays available for everything else. my family loves it.

You are so organized, I love all of your tips . You have such a beautiful yard , and it’s amazing that you have managed to keep your lawn green . Mine is dead with one day per week watering restrictions in Calabasas, so we will be inside this year .

Love your parties - you are so talented! I always enjoyed your Dad´s show . Talent runs in your family., Those were the good old days at HGTV.

Awesome tips. As for the buffet, would it make more sense to just have one each of the sausage potatoes and yam dishes out, and keep the second set on "warm" in the oven? Saves on room and serving utensils. Food for thought!

Beth I absolutely love these series!! Since this format is different from the usual recipe videos, we now get to see more of your surrounding (the pumpkin farm, your gardens) and this just gives a lovely feeling. Also, the tips you are sharing are all so gold! It's also nice to see you enjoy the prep and putting so much thought in it, it just elevates the whole Thanksgiving dinner. I watched it along with my mum (and translated to her while watching) and we both said we would so love to be your guest

Now that you mention your dad’s name and television show, I remember him! Good memories

My Italian mom used to make mashed potato casserole with sausage and mozzarella. This video took me back.

What a great and helpful video especially for people who haven't hosted a lot or are looking for a way to plan ahead and have a more relaxing, fun day. I've been hosting for 40 years and do all these exact same things ahead of time (in addition to polishing silver) and just thinking about (and writing down) every thing! I have to remember each year to buy candles, buy paper guest towels for the bathroom, count my wine glasses... the list goes on~ but if you start early its fun and not stressful! Thanks for the helpful video, Happy Thanksgiving!

Awesome! I’m going to use your folder idea! I’m Jewish, so besides Thanksgiving, Chanukah is coming up and this is a great way for me to sort favorites. I keep a section in my financial planner for what I spent and what supplies I need next time but I had not figured the recipes. I have a pretty gold file box and some pretty hanging file folders in my Amazon cart and that should cover the years worth of holidays. So I’ll have to check each holiday what Beth has in her folder!

Loved this video, so fun.

Great tips. I'd like to share a tip for helping to keep the bottom of the oven cleaner and stain free. From Amazon I purchased black oven liners by Linda's Essentials. I can pull the fiberglass liner out and wash or pitch and replace. It's great when in the middle of a baking project. Spills are messy and smelly.

@@EntertainingWithBeth oh of course! It’s so much fun! It’s basically a night where we let off fireworks, have some roasted chestnuts, hot chocolate etc. Most local parks or cricket clubs will hold displays for the community and you can often get things like candy floss (I think in America it’s cotton candy) and glow sticks and light up toys for the kids! I don’t know about everyone else but my family likes to eat jacket potatoes and chilli con carne. Though when we did massive parties my mum would make our traditional food (I’m British but my ethnicity is Pakistani). As for the history - it might sound a little strange but in 1605 a man named Guy Fawkes (with a gang) plotted to blow up the Houses of Parliament and the King, with gunpowder. I believe he was caught at the last moment, so his plot failed, and the group were executed. So ever since we have been celebrating his failure and the survival of the king by letting off fireworks and lighting bonfires! You must come to the UK one year to experience it, though it seems a little bit similar to the 4th July? With the fireworks and friends and family getting together! Hope that makes sense!

You are such a great hostess! So impressive.
