The one where Ashleigh discusses Friendsgiving! This was such a fun read,  it had a little bit of everything,  recipes, games,  planning,  entertaining and hosting recommendations. Although the word Friendsgiving is never actually used in the show , their Thanksgiving get togethers embodied everything the typical Friendsgiving in.  I really enjoyed that each recipe let you know which episode that it orginated from and how you could incorporate it into a Friendsgiving meal.  I even tried a few out! The Neslé Toulouse btoen butter chocolate chip cookies inspired by "The One With Phoebe's Cookies" and Joey's Easy Brownies inspired by "The One Where Joey Dates Rachel". I thought the section on hosting and planning were story insightful especially if you have never hosted anything before.  It also included activities you could plan to do with your guests and even some diy decorations to create the perfect Friendsgiving atmosphere. Definitely  a great read if you are looking to host a friends themed or an ordinary Friendsgiving.

I got this book for Christmas and I cannot wait to use this for next year's Thanksgiving! I love the stuble jokes throughout the book like Nestle Toulouse. I already made the brusselsprouts, they were a big hit! I am excited to make the playlist for my Friendsgiving! :)

Friendsgiving is quite the fun nonfiction book! As some of you may know (especially those of you following me on Instagram), I had never seen all Friends episodes until I binge-watched all 10 seasons in 2019. Growing up, I didn’t have cable so I only ever saw TV shows in snippets–an episode here and there when visiting friends’ houses. So, I was super happy when Friends hit Netflix Canada and I was able to watch every episode in order (I’m crazy about consuming books and TV shows in chronological order, haha). I fell in love with the show and hope to watch it all over again very soon (hopefully this month before it gets taken off Netflix…cry!)

Because I love the show so much, it was also a no-brainer for me to request Friendsgiving when I spotted it in a blogger newsletter! (And before I go any further, I would like to emphasize that this book focuses on...

For those who love the TV show Friends, this is a very cute book with lots of pictures and quotes from the show. It is also generally a very good planning book for hosting dinner parties.
