As the fictional Chef Gusteau once said, “Anyone can cook.” However, if you aren’t a pro in the kitchen, whether it’s due to a lack of time, energy, or skill, it doesn’t mean that dinner parties are a total bust. With Friendsgiving and Thanksgiving gatherings on the way, you might be thinking about how you can contribute to the occasion before it’s too late. Lucky for you, I’ve pulled together some options. (Personally, I love a good charcuterie board.) Assuming you aren’t responsible for the turkey, here are 6 food and drink ideas for a Friendsgiving feast.

Boarderie Medium Thanksgiving Dessert Board

Boarderie’s new Thanksgiving Dessert Boards are available in three sizes that serve groups up to 14. The medium board, which serves 5-7 people, includes a smash box, seasonal chocolates, macarons, cake, truffles, toffee, and more. The board ships within two days and arrives chilled.

For a savory Boarderie option, read our review of the 2-Cheese Double Cream Baked Brie Board.

If you won’t be eating it in 48 hours after delivery, keep them stored in your freezer and thaw the pot pies overnight before baking.
