‘Twas the night before Thanksgiving,
And all through the kitchen . . .
Family members are stirring,
Many willing to pitch in . . .
The noodles were made with loving care,
Knowing our loved ones would soon be here . . .

The pie crusts are rolled and baked is the bread,
The vision of pumpkin pie with extra whipped cream lives in my head . . .
Lucky for us, Bob’s got the day off from Knap,
We know we’ll celebrate with a little nightcap. . .

So much turkey, all piled on a platter,
If you don’t eat enough, mom will ask, “what’s the matter?” . . .
We may head out to a Thanksgiving bash,
First things first— there’s potatoes to mash . . .

Fill the pies, punch down the dough,
Here come the guests, we’re ready for the show . . .
We are so glad you’re here for another great year,
Before you sit down, could you grab me a beer?

The turkey is out — wow, what a big chick!
Eat now, friends— it’ll get cold quick!
Now bellies are full— you’re feeling a little shame,
No worries— unbutton your pants, and turn on the game!

All have eaten, the leftovers are dished,
Those select few adults are getting kinda blitzed.
What a great way to spend this day in fall!
With the family— sure love seeing them all . . .

Friendship - family - food,
Sure to put us in the greatest mood . . .
Everything will happen just right,
Happy Thanksgiving to all, and to all, a good (safe) night!

💚💙 — Niki

Cranberry Salad – A Family Holiday Favorite!

❤️ This cranberry salad has been on our Thanksgiving table for generations.
It’s sweet, tangy, and full of crunch — perfect with turkey and dressing, or even as a light dessert. Every bite tastes like home! 🦃🍊

🛒 Ingredients

1 package fresh cranberries (from the produce section)

2 large oranges, peeled and cut into chunks

2 large apples, unpeeled and chopped (Granny Smith works great!)

2 cups pecans, chopped

1 package strawberry Jell-O

½ cup celery, finely chopped

Peel from one orange, grated

½ cup crushed pineapple (do not drain)

2 cups sugar

👩‍🍳 How to Make It

Wash cranberries and drain well.

Peel and chop oranges; chop apples (keep the peel on); chop pecans and celery.

In a large serving bowl, combine all ingredients except Jell-O. Mix well.

Dissolve Jell-O in 1 cup of boiling water, then pour over the fruit mixture and stir to combine.

Chill until set — and enjoy the bright, refreshing flavor!

💡 Tips:

For extra texture, add mini marshmallows or coconut flakes.

Best served cold — even better the next day after flavors blend.

Great for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any family gathering!

🥄 This dish brings back memories every year.

“Boki’s” (pronounced “beau-keys”) is a combination of our names- Bob and Niki.

We connected early in our relationship over a shared passion for food, and we're excited to serve delicious and wholesome meals to our favorite people, and we're celebrating being "Boki's Kitchen" for *officially* 3 years now! July of 2022 seems like just yesterday!

Boki's Kitchen continues to create affordable, easy to prep family and individual meal solutions! Our digital store is available 24/7 at our website! We'll resume deliveries on 7/30!

Not a single aspect of this "business" was planned— most know the good things in life rarely are . . . with the exception of a delicious meal, and for that, give Boki's Kitchen a shout!

Boki’s is ready with a hot catered meal, something for your freezer, or even a decadent dessert.
