Thanksgiving at Vela on Camelback

Thankful spelled out surrounded by leaves and pumpkin cut outs

Thanksgiving is almost here. We know that 2020 threw many curveballs, but there are many memorable ways to be thankful and enjoy your Thanksgiving meal.

So how can you and your family have a successful Thanksgiving in Phoenix? Check out some of our tips to enjoy your Thanksgiving at Vela on Camelback.

 

Cooking tips and recipes.

Families know that the best part of Thanksgiving is coming together for a delicious, home-cooked meal. Who doesn’t love a good turkey, mashed potatoes, and homemade cranberry sauce?

We love all that stuff. And we also think that 2020 is the perfect year to introduce a new Thanksgiving recipe to your family.

Many Thanksgiving recipes are floating around the internet. Pinterest is a great place to start. For kids, we recommend satisfying their sweet tooth with sweet potato casserole.

If you’re looking for something new, keep and break tradition at the same time by finding a new way to enjoy sweet potatoes. A burrito sweet potato? Count us in!

 

Safety In the kitchen

We understand that safety is a top priority this year. The best idea is to plan ahead and making sure your Thanksgiving follows CDC guidelines. To prevent too many cooks in the kitchen, we recommend prepping your meal ahead of time.

 

There are ways to make sure your family is safe outside the kitchen. Encourage your family to spend time outside. We recommend enjoying open space and quality time at the spacious Steele Indian School Park. It’s right around the corner from Vela on Camelback Apartments!

 

Online Black Friday Shopping

Enjoy the benefits of Black Friday without the hostile crowds. While we love deals from household names such as Target and Marshall’s, we also recommend taking advantage of deals from local businesses. Many small Phoenix businesses are taking advantage of online sales. Be sure to stay up-to-date on new items and sales from Phoenix’s local boutiques!

 

Be Thankful This Thanksgiving

There are many ways to be thankful this Thanksgiving. While 2020 presented many struggles and adjustments for Phoenix families, at Vela on Camelback, you can still enjoy your family’s perfectly imperfect Thanksgiving.
