The Chopping Block Thanksgiving Workshop

Gobble Gobble! We’re about two weeks away from Thanksgiving. You ready to throw down in the kitchen? 🙂 Whether you’re hosting dinner or going as a guest The Chopping Block is here to help us get prepared. Now, until the big day, The Chopping Block is hosting Thanksgiving Workshops. The Workshops show how to prepare traditional Thanksgiving dishes and the skills needed to ensure they turn out DELICIOUS.

I loved that the workshops are hands on! We we’re split into groups of 3 to 5 people and each group got their hands dirty preparing a Turkey and delicious sides. I’m a hands on visual learner so this was right up my alley! Even better they give you the recipe cards for when you prepare your Thanksgiving meal at home. Check out the pics below to see what you can look forward to making!
