No unfortunately not. Maizena is Cornstarch or Corn Flour, used for thickening sauces or coating meat before sautéing. Corn Meal, is closer to polenta, a grainy corn product we use to make corn bread. :)
Interesting to note: cornflour is cornstarch to the Brits but I know cornflour as masa and cornmeal as textured ground corn that's fine, medium or coarse.
I've been watching you for years! I got teary-eyed at the end. Hahaha I love Thanksgiving dishes. You're an inspiration, Beth. I made your Creme Brulee and Gratin Dauphinois for our Thanksgiving feast, it was a hit!
Awww 🥰 so glad you enjoyed it. Yes, the whole thing sort of choked me up at the end too! Between everybody helping us find the ingredients and the guests that we’re so happy to be a part of it and loved all the food. It was the perfect thing to give thanks for all the new friends and family here in France that have made us feel so welcome.🙏💕💕
Beth you have the patience of a Saint. Tracking down all your ingredients and serving dishes etc. How wonderful your market suppliers were to organise your Turkey and Cranberries true to their word. The girls definitely have a talent with those cheese boards so artistic. Best compliment ever is those empty plates at the end.🥰😋
Thank you Beth for sharing! I laughed, got got teary eyed over the kindness of the young man with the cranberries! The cheeseboards were amazing!❤. God Bless!
Wow. Just wow. You knocked it out of the park. I live for entertaining. Love love your podcasts and recipes. I was a caterer for 20 years, mainly on the East Coast where I moved after my marriage. I’m a widow now who moved to the South and am starting to entertain again after having made some wonderful friends. I spent many happy times in France and the UK with my husband. Enjoy your beautiful life in France. This will be the. Best time of your life. Already pre ordered your cookbook. I feel like you’re a friend.
Aww you are too kind :) I'm so glad you enjoy the videos! Yes it's been an amazing adventure so far to leave the U.S and resettle here in France, at mid-life. It's also been an interesting experience to have my husband (who was the "foreigner for 30 years in the US) be the local, and now I'm the foreigner ha! Life has so many things to teach us if we get outside our comfort zone, and personally I feel if we keep changing and evolving, it keeps us young :) I'm so happy you've ordered the book! I hope you find some new favorites in there that will become go-to recipes when entertaining your new friends! Thank you for your sweet note :)
All I can say is WOW!!! You are amazing! You did a fantastic job and just smiled and laughed through all the stress-now that is a great and impressive hostess. Everything looked delicious and beautiful-love your dish purchases. You get an A+++++. Beautifully done!
Your entire family is amazing especially you. You did not even look stressed out. You had a wonderful smile and you did everything with love. Oh! I love the markets in france. Thank you for taking us with you on your trip to the markets.
Oh yes the markets are really the best part! And so are the vendors! They know their products so well and it's so nice to shop and chat with them and learn more about the food they raise or grow, like that walnut man! He was amazing!! I need to go back and try the walnut mustard! The oil was fantastic! So full of flavor!
Impressive outcome! You had so much to overcome. The sourcing of all the American ingredients, oh my! It turned out beautiful, and I'm sure it was delicious. Happy Thanksgiving!
Your sense of humor at midnight to say that the cranberry sauce can be done in your sleep 🤣 Beth, I just love watching you prep and cook with such enthusiasm, energy, and grace! I don't know how you do it, but your family is going to remember these meals for the rest of their lives with great fondness. They are so lucky to have you!
An Amazing throw down Beth 👏🏼👏🏼 You did it! 👍🏽 Path yourself on the back you’ve accomplished your American Thanksgiving 🍁🍗 But it was a lot of work and driving to do, but it paid off beautifully. 😘🥰🩷 Now it’s time to relax before Christmas 🫣
Such a heartwarming video. The end brought tears to my eyes because you care so much about tradition and sharing it with others in your new country! Looking forward to your cookbook!
Lol! 😂 TH-cam is good like that. It’s funny to see what it serves up usually knowing what we need before we know we need it ha ha! So glad you enjoyed it!
Great fun watching you prepare for your Thanksgiving feast particularly your cranberry hunt and your husband slicing BBQ-size marshmallows. Glad all went well and that your French family appreciated your traditions. Happy Holidays from the US.
This touched my heart. I've never been to France and I know German, Italian and Spanish, but my mom, who was a linguist, loved French culture. My mom has passed but was the cutest little Mexican woman who taught French at the secondary and University level and had been. TFS. This makes me feel closer to her even if that might not make sense to anybody else. Also love you and your bright personality. ❤
Beth, this was wonderful. You did an amazing dinner for family and new friends. It looked divine and I'm sure all the dishes were delicious! My favorite parts, I have to admit was the shopping at all the different stores. The store with all the pottery and cookware would have done me in. It was like a candy store to me. Merci.
LOL! Oh I know I have to be so careful in that place! Mainly because I don't have a lot of storage in this house and so I have to choose wisely! But every time I go in there, it's like a candy store for me, too, LOL! And the prices are so great that makes it even harder to show restraint lol!
Ahh i love watching your Thanksgiving vlogs as an Australian :) always so interesting to see how you plan things, shop and pull everything off. Thanksgiving looked really lovely in your french home!
Oh Beth!! I can empathize with you SO much! I'm a Canadian food blogger living in Romania for the last 8 years and I have experienced all these struggles - everything from trying to hunt down cranberries, weird pastel marshmallows and pans not fitting in the oven 😭 Welcome to your new home in Europe. I'm loving your videos!!
Hi Beth 🙋🏻♀️long time follower here from Chicago 💙❄️love that you’re continuing the American tradition of celebrating our holidays in France! 🇫🇷 Thank you for showing us your journey there with your precious family 🥰🎄Happy Holidays!!! 🎁💐
Aww yes it was so much fun to continue the tradition! And they share it with our friends and family over here. They loved it! So glad you enjoyed it too.🥰
After seeing you going to all the trouble of putting everything together with a big smile, make me appreciate the holidays with family in US. Thank you for taking us with you in this amazing journey. Happy holidays, wish you the best for you and your family and friends 🤗.
Aww so true it's funny what we take for granted! Next time you are in a large American Supermarket, hug those end caps for me! The ones laden with Brown Sugar, Libbys Pumpkin and Mini Marshmallows! LOL!
What an amazing video!! You are my hero, Beth. How do you not have your own show on the Food Network or whatever?! Your videos are better than anything I have ever seen. Everyone is so lovely...and the help for those cranberries - what a guy! Love, love, love it all!
I just cannot believe your energy and organizational skills to pull that huge, beautiful Thanksgiving meal together!!!!! Wow, just wow! Everything looked SO beautiful....food and decor! What a wonderful culinary experience for all your French friends to enjoy! And yay that you got your REAL cranberries!! 😊🥰 ~M~
Awww Beth! What a heartwarming video ♥️🤗 Even though we’ve never met, I missed you so much watching this. Hope France is giving you the love you deserve. Love you, your Iranian friend from the States, haha
Happy Thanksgiving Beth and family. That was so fun to watch. I actually got teary at the wonderful man getting your cranberries. Being an expat in Mexico, I totally get it. Please give an update on how everyone reacted to their first time trying pumpkin pie!! ❤😊
I know I did too! The kindness that went into tracking down that little bag of cranberries was just so sweet! I'm glad he wasn't there that day because I probably would have embarrassed myself my giving him a huge hug! (Not a very French thing to do lol!) Re: The pies: Everyone LOVED the nut pie?! It was their favorite, but no one really understood the pumpkin pie LOL! Except my husband, it's his favorite!
Aww so glad you enjoyed it! Yes, it was quite a journey that was also so rewarding and fun. I’m so glad I was able to have all the favorites represented! Ha! 💕
I don’t know how you stay so calm through all of the shopping and cooking. I would have no hair I would be so frazzled! Everything looked beautiful and I’m sure it was delicious. Happy Thanksgiving!
What a fun video to watch! I love that your French family wanted to experience an American Thanksgiving and that they were all willing to pitch in and help! Good job pulling this off despite having to really hunt for all your ingredients.
LOL! The oven space was definitely the biggest challenge! Grateful for those slender scalloped dishes, 2 of them fit together in the Microwave oven! YAY!!
That is a fantastic journey of gathering all the ingredients and casserole dishes and everything else needed to make this a beautiful Thanksgiving meal. Love your videos!
In 2018, my daughter got married the day after Thanksgiving in Johannesburg, South Africa. She asked me to bring some traditional food items with me in my suitcase, so that she could have a “small” Thanksgiving rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding. I brought a whole suitcase full of canned pumpkin, stuffing mix, spices and herbs, etc. Your quest for items reminded me of my search through the grocery stores there for the extras I needed. I laughed about your marshmallows, because the only ones I could find were pink and fruit flavored- quite a sight on top of the sweet potato casserole! I also had to quickly learn how to cook a jambon, because there was no such thing as a precooked baked ham. Also, the turkey was so small, too! The guests were wary of the pumpkin pie, but ended up loving it.
Lingon berry ice cream! Lingon berry jelly, used for Swedish meatballs. I love the jelly with cream cheese on toasted baguette. It tastes similar to cranberry but milder and the skins are tender on lingons. Everything looked fantastic, made me hungry. Glad amazon got your can of pumpkin puree on time! Turkey looked delicious, glad you got her.
They could be lingonberries, it’s the closest you can get. Just don’t forget to breathe!!! Everytime you laugh it reminds of my days of prepping for holiday meals lol it’s like your laughing but screaming in your head lol. You’ve got this with your husband by your side your good to go❤❤ Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🍂🍁
I also got very emotional for you, Beth.😢 However, I didn't expect any less than GORGEOUS from you. God was certainly with you & Philippe. Happy Thanksgiving from Texas!❤🦃🦃
Awww I'm so glad you enjoyed it! It was so nice that in the end, we found it all and could serve up an authentic feast ha! Now I know where to get it all for next year! LOL!
I kinda needed to see more on the meal part and the dessert part. Love the curiosity of the French and their openness to try American Thanksgiving! Thanks for sharing.
Beth, I loved this so much! There is always so much planning, running and cooking you do for the Thanksgiving meal, that we in the States take for granted not being able to find the ingredients. Great work pulling this all together; it looks amazing!
With Beth's recipes I was always ahead of the curve on holiday cooking. After the russian invasion we stopped friends parties, but the cooking process calming me, Beth's videos support my mind and I keep cooking for our defenders and for children, and we doesn't wait for holiday now, but make the holidays by Beth's menu:)
Beth, my Saturday mornings would not be complete without you!! Watching your Thanksgiving preparation, I laughed and cried simultaneously, knowing that "our" traditions are so meaningful that we go the extra mile to honor them. I'm so proud of Phillippe for understanding how all of it is so important to you, and it is always a joy watching both of you sharing the experience. The ending of the video when everyone cheered at the hostess AND chef brought a huge smile to my face. Being a transplanted foreigner is NEVER easy but you did it with such a huge aplomb and grace. Everything looked amazing and I felt I was part of your new old tradition so thank you for sharing your Thanksgiving day with us. Bisous, 😘😘🥰
So sweet! Lovely to see your smiling face admist of all the planning and prepping! I look forward to your thanksgiving videos every year, you didn’t disappoint - you are amazing Beth. Happy Thanksgiving!
That was fun! For us cookers, Thanksgiving is our Super Bowl, so all the shopping and prep enrich our enjoyment of the gathering of family and friends. Your buffet was beautiful and inviting; your hospitality shines. 😊 Thank you for sharing your story with us!
Beth, You’re so amazing!! Love your videos , and this is one of the best yet.. so much hard work , I was in a moment every step of the way with you. Your guests are so blessed to have you. Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃!
Wow! What a spread! Happy thanksgiving! Way to keep the American tradition! Your love of food and family is why I really love your channel! Happy holidays to you and your family!
Thus video made me sooooo freaking happy. I love this woman and i love how authentic and comfortable and funny she is. Last but not least, how gorgeous are the guests!!! Happy thanks giving lovely Beth!!
I love that you proudly bring our American traditions to France! It was so heartwarming to your friends all listening attentively to the dishes you made. ❤
I know it was super cute, I was just ready to let them all dig in, but they wanted to know what everything was and why it was traditional! France does respect culinary traditions so it was so funny to see them applying this to the Thanksgiving foods lol!
WOW!!! An ABSOLUTE SUCCESS!!!! I’m SO HAPPY for you in particular Beth, also for your family!!!!! Bless your heart it was a new experience and you pulled it off!!! I commend your husband for pitching in as he did. I’m certain it helped. CONGRATULATIONS-YOU are AMAZING!! 🦃👏👏👏!!
Many thanks for the beautiful Thanksgiving feast that you pulled off, no matter the obstacles. Not only did your guests love their American food, but you showed them what Thanksgiving is all about. Many kudos.
It really was such a sweet day, and a wonderful way to repay all the kindness our new friends and french family has shown us with the move, they loved it and they talked about it for days after lol!
Happy Thanksgiving weekend Beth to u and ur family.🦃🍂🍷You worked so hard putting this very American feast together in France for ur appreciative friends. I was exhausted just watching you😂.It turned out wonderfully.Beautiful presentation and delish food.That turkey was sooooo fresh.Great video.❤
I'm so glad to see you ! You are truly the best organizer!!! Stephanie at The Chateau Diaries also does an American Thanksgiving in the South of France! Those frozen berries sure look like red currents/lingonberries to me from my time living in London. I'm down with Ocean Spray. 😂 Your oven... girl, you are devoted!!! Deviled eggs with Miracle Whip. 😅 Happy Thanksgiving! Let the holidays begin! I'm at 12 trees here in South Georgia! By the way your skin is glowing since youve been in France. It really agrees with you.
Tired mama with sick baby, your video brought so much positive energy as always ❤❤ major congratulations on the book Beth 🎉🎉🎉🎉 i’m from Morocco and I LOVE your videos
You are AMAZING Beth, bless your heart. You did it 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. I was laughing 😂😂😂 hearing you talking about pumpkin pie. I was also out of breath watching you running from one store to another, at that moment I recognized that moms are super heros. Happy thanksgiving Beth ❤❤❤
Everything looked delicious! I have a pet peeve about people bringing cut flowers to a dinner party. I love flowers, but when I'm hosting a party, I don't have time to look for the right size vase, trim the ends, and arrange them. I prefer an arrangement, a plant, or a small gift. I know it's petty (and I don't want to sound ungrateful), but I always have my hands full!
I totally know what you mean! And the funny thing is, it's a really popular thing to bring flowers here in France, even in the states the only guests who would bring flowers to our parties were the French guests ha! I feel the same way about never wanting to be ungrateful, so I keep a few vases in our studio bedroom for such occasions so it doesn't become too cumbersome :)
Beth! You are such a champ, going to so much effort to put together a delicious Thanksgiving meal in France. It was really fun watching you track down ingredients, with a little help from the lovely locals at the market. So great to see your French friends and relatives enjoy everything too. What did they end up thinking of the marshmallow-y sweet potatoes? 😂
This was so awesome to watch you gather all those things up. It was fun to see where you had to go to get things and explain I don’t think that’s right. What wonderful experience for your French friends and family to share how we do thanksgiving and that everyone does it this way, maybe a different recipe but this way. You did a wonderful job and I so wanted to hear how they like the meal and the traditions. Do they normally celebrate a thanksgiving time? Happy Thanksgiving!! Love hearing your journey there.
This was the funny part about the day, they kept asking "Do all Americans do it like this with all these dishes or is this just you?" They couldn't believe we did mashed potatoes, stuffing, cornbread, and sweet potatoes LOL! And I was like yep, pretty much! Ha!
Beth, you look absolutely stunning these days, I think living in Europe rejuvinates you! How cool! Also, what a beautiful Thanksgiving dinner you again pulled together! Love d' Allemagne
Bath, you're truly an inspiration! It's incredible to see your perseverance in making the Thanksgiving meal as authentic as possible and to see all your guests loving your food and clearing their plates, that must feel incredibly rewarding! As an expat also, living in the UK, I'm totally with you on dishes from home that immediately brings you a sense of home, and what's better than sharing that with others. I have been watching all your videos since college over a decade ago, and now a self-proclaimed decent host, thanks to you. Please keep doing what you do, your videos have been a wonderful source of joy and inspiration for so many of us.
Beth you always have a way of bringing us along on your journey and I’m so glad you do! I sat down this morning with my puppers and said, let’s go to France for a while with Beth ❤ everything looked amazing! Happy Thanksgiving from California 🤗
Loved every minute of this video. Thanks for sharing Beth. What a beautiful meal you prepared. I loved all the markets you went to to shop. How fun. 🎉❤ Happy Thanksgiving
Oh my goodness this was one of the best content you’ve made for us. Amazing I love it all bi love your problem solving I love the trips to the store. I love the scenery and especially how it all came together. Love love!! ❤️
Hello, I have been a subscriber for several years. First of all, what appeals to me is your enthusiasm, your sincerity. I hope that your guests are aware of the privilege of being invited to your table. An anonymous person who appreciates your vision of the joys of life.
I LOVED this video, Beth! It made me want to move back to France. I'm both American and British, having spent a couple of years at school in France many years ago. This video made me feel very nostalgic and made me laugh so many times. Thanks Beth and Philipe!
Beth, you are a phenomenal woman. I mentioned once, on one of your videos, that I would NEVER, be able to pull that off. Sorry, no way. I'm happy to see, all the empty plates. You are truly blessed, your husband is a great source of inspiration, strength and encouragement. I'm happy to see also that you got everything that you desired. Bonne chance mon ami. That was quite a haul😅😅😅😅❤❤❤❤❤
Ha! I seriously collapsed after it all! A lot harder in France with the smaller ovens, multi-store/market grocery shop, and down a few helpers, BUT it was seriously so heartwarming to see all our French family and friends enjoying all these American foods! It really was priceless at the end of the day and worth all the effort!
This was an amazing video Beth, also those BOARDS!! OMG your girls really know how to make them, they looked like straight out of a book or a magazine, you taught them so well. Happy Holidays!
Hello ! Isn't cornmeal= Maïzena ? There was some in jour vidéo. Close to the semoule !
No unfortunately not. Maizena is Cornstarch or Corn Flour, used for thickening sauces or coating meat before sautéing. Corn Meal, is closer to polenta, a grainy corn product we use to make corn bread. :)
Thanks for the explanation ! Have a great holidays Season !
Interesting to note: cornflour is cornstarch to the Brits but I know cornflour as masa and cornmeal as textured ground corn that's fine, medium or coarse.
I've been watching you for years! I got teary-eyed at the end. Hahaha I love Thanksgiving dishes. You're an inspiration, Beth. I made your Creme Brulee and Gratin Dauphinois for our Thanksgiving feast, it was a hit!

It was the perfect thing to give thanks for all the new friends and family here in France that have made us feel so welcome.🙏💕💕
All of your guest were thankful for all the effort you made to provide a traditional Thanksgiving dinner.. what a fun video to watch
Aww that’s so sweet of you to say! 🥰 They were so happy with the effort, I was so happy to share the day with them!
Beth you have the patience of a Saint. Tracking down all your ingredients and serving dishes etc. How wonderful your market suppliers were to organise your Turkey and Cranberries true to their word. The girls definitely have a talent with those cheese boards so artistic. Best compliment ever is those empty plates at the end.🥰😋
Yes those market venders have made a customer for life! Ha! And yes the empty plates were just the best! Made me so happy lol!!
Thank you Beth for sharing! I laughed, got got teary eyed over the kindness of the young man with the cranberries! The cheeseboards were amazing!❤. God Bless!
I know I choked me up too! The kindness that went in to getting me those cranberries, was just so sweet! He has a customer for LIFE! LOL!

All I can say is WOW!!! You are amazing! You did a fantastic job and just smiled and laughed through all the stress-now that is a great and impressive hostess. Everything looked delicious and beautiful-love your dish purchases. You get an A+++++. Beautifully done!
Absolutely loved this! ❤️
Your entire family is amazing especially you. You did not even look stressed out. You had a wonderful smile and you did everything with love. Oh! I love the markets in france. Thank you for taking us with you on your trip to the markets.

Impressive outcome! You had so much to overcome. The sourcing of all the American ingredients, oh my! It turned out beautiful, and I'm sure it was delicious. Happy Thanksgiving!
Your sense of humor at midnight to say that the cranberry sauce can be done in your sleep 🤣 Beth, I just love watching you prep and cook with such enthusiasm, energy, and grace! I don't know how you do it, but your family is going to remember these meals for the rest of their lives with great fondness. They are so lucky to have you!
An Amazing throw down Beth 👏🏼👏🏼
You did it! 👍🏽
Path yourself on the back you’ve accomplished your American Thanksgiving 🍁🍗
But it was a lot of work and driving to do, but it paid off beautifully. 😘🥰🩷
Now it’s time to relax before Christmas 🫣
Such a heartwarming video. The end brought tears to my eyes because you care so much about tradition and sharing it with others in your new country! Looking forward to your cookbook!
I didn't know i needed this wholesome video in my life.. it was a pleasure to watch Thanksgiving in a foreign land 👍
Lol! 😂 TH-cam is good like that. It’s funny to see what it serves up usually knowing what we need before we know we need it ha ha! So glad you enjoyed it!
Great fun watching you prepare for your Thanksgiving feast particularly your cranberry hunt and your husband slicing BBQ-size marshmallows. Glad all went well and that your French family appreciated your traditions. Happy Holidays from the US.

So much fun watching your vlog. You are an inspiration Beth!
Awww you’re so sweet! So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!
I don’t know how you stay so calm through all of the shopping and cooking. I would have no hair I would be so frazzled! Everything looked beautiful and I’m sure it was delicious. Happy Thanksgiving!
LOL! Oh you just have to laugh your way through it! Luckily Philippe came to my rescue and saved the day! HA!
Happy Thanksgiving! You did it as always with great aplomb, creativity and warmth. A delicious feast with great memories for all!
What a fun video to watch! I love that your French family wanted to experience an American Thanksgiving and that they were all willing to pitch in and help! Good job pulling this off despite having to really hunt for all your ingredients.
Just loved this video. How you pulled it together is amazing and inspiring. Especially with your limited oven space. I hope everyone loved it.
LOL! The oven space was definitely the biggest challenge! Grateful for those slender scalloped dishes, 2 of them fit together in the Microwave oven! YAY!!

You did a wonderful job re-creating Thanksgiving in France, Beth. You should be very proud of yourself!
LOL! I feel lucky I was able to serve up all the classics and present an authentic experience ha! And not a "franglais" version of the real thing! Ha!
Lingon berry ice cream! Lingon berry jelly, used for Swedish meatballs. I love the jelly with cream cheese on toasted baguette. It tastes similar to cranberry but milder and the skins are tender on lingons. Everything looked fantastic, made me hungry. Glad amazon got your can of pumpkin puree on time!

I also got very emotional for you, Beth.😢 However, I didn't expect any less than GORGEOUS from you. God was certainly with you & Philippe.
Happy Thanksgiving from Texas!❤🦃🦃
Awww I'm so glad you enjoyed it! It was so nice that in the end, we found it all and could serve up an authentic feast ha! Now I know where to get it all for next year! LOL!
I kinda needed to see more on the meal part and the dessert part. Love the curiosity of the French and their openness to try American Thanksgiving! Thanks for sharing.
Beth, I loved this so much! There is always so much planning, running and cooking you do for the Thanksgiving meal, that we in the States take for granted not being able to find the ingredients. Great work pulling this all together; it looks amazing!
I appreciate this so much
Aww so you know the pain ha! But hey looks like you can get cranberries there! Ha! Happy Thanksgiving!!
Love your channel. The trip to the grocery store was so fun
With Beth's recipes I was always ahead of the curve on holiday cooking. After the russian invasion we stopped friends parties, but the cooking process calming me, Beth's videos support my mind and I keep cooking for our defenders and for children, and we doesn't wait for holiday now, but make the holidays by Beth's menu:)
Your marvelous can-do attitude is so inspiring and uplifting. And it paid off big-time!
Beth, my Saturday mornings would not be complete without you!! Watching your Thanksgiving preparation, I laughed and cried simultaneously, knowing that "our" traditions are so meaningful that we go the extra mile to honor them. I'm so proud of Phillippe for understanding how all of it is so important to you, and it is always a joy watching both of you sharing the experience. The ending of the video when everyone cheered at the hostess AND chef brought a huge smile to my face. Being a transplanted foreigner is NEVER easy but you did it with such a huge aplomb and grace. Everything looked amazing and I felt I was part of your new old tradition so thank you for sharing your Thanksgiving day with us. Bisous, 😘😘🥰
So sweet! Lovely to see your smiling face admist of all the planning and prepping! I look forward to your thanksgiving videos every year, you didn’t disappoint - you are amazing Beth. Happy Thanksgiving!
That was fun! For us cookers, Thanksgiving is our Super Bowl, so all the shopping and prep enrich our enjoyment of the gathering of family and friends. Your buffet was beautiful and inviting; your hospitality shines. 😊 Thank you for sharing your story with us!
Beth, You’re so amazing!! Love your videos , and this is one of the best yet.. so much hard work , I was in a moment every step of the way with you. Your guests are so blessed to have you. Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃!

Thus video made me sooooo freaking happy. I love this woman and i love how authentic and comfortable and funny she is. Last but not least, how gorgeous are the guests!!! Happy thanks giving lovely Beth!!
I love that you proudly bring our American traditions to France! It was so heartwarming to your friends all listening attentively to the dishes you made. ❤
I know it was super cute, I was just ready to let them all dig in, but they wanted to know what everything was and why it was traditional! France does respect culinary traditions so it was so funny to see them applying this to the Thanksgiving foods lol!
I love your energy😊

Tres bien Beth! Love everything about this vlog, from the shopping to the eating! Happy Thanksgiving xxx
Love your channel Beth! Bravo! It all looks delicious & beautiful!
Many thanks for the beautiful Thanksgiving feast that you pulled off, no matter the obstacles. Not only did your guests love their American food, but you showed them what Thanksgiving is all about. Many kudos.
It really was such a sweet day, and a wonderful way to repay all the kindness our new friends and french family has shown us with the move, they loved it and they talked about it for days after lol!
Beth you are amazing. I can’t wait for your cook book to be released. 😊
Aww me too! We're getting closer!!
Beth, you absolutely crack me up! Loving your escapades in France! Well done!
Ha! So glad you enjoy them! They are always fun to share lol!
Happy Thanksgiving weekend Beth to u and ur family.🦃🍂🍷You worked so hard putting this very American feast together in France for ur appreciative friends. I was exhausted just watching you😂.It turned out wonderfully.Beautiful presentation and delish food.That turkey was sooooo fresh.Great video.❤
The turkey was the best turkey I've ever had! Seriously! So moist and delicious it tasted like chicken! Maybe it was just a big chicken?! LOL!
I'm so glad to see you ! You are truly the best organizer!!! Stephanie at The Chateau Diaries also does an American Thanksgiving in the South of France! Those frozen berries sure look like red currents/lingonberries to me from my time living in London. I'm down with Ocean Spray. 😂 Your oven... girl, you are devoted!!! Deviled eggs with Miracle Whip. 😅
Happy Thanksgiving! Let the holidays begin! I'm at 12 trees here in South Georgia!
By the way your skin is glowing since youve been in France. It really agrees with you.
Tired mama with sick baby, your video brought so much positive energy as always ❤❤ major congratulations on the book Beth 🎉🎉🎉🎉 i’m from Morocco and I LOVE your videos
You are AMAZING Beth, bless your heart. You did it 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. I was laughing 😂😂😂 hearing you talking about pumpkin pie. I was also out of breath watching you running from one store to another, at that moment I recognized that moms are super heros. Happy thanksgiving Beth ❤❤❤
Everything looked delicious!
I have a pet peeve about people bringing cut flowers to a dinner party. I love flowers, but when I'm hosting a party, I don't have time to look for the right size vase, trim the ends, and arrange them. I prefer an arrangement, a plant, or a small gift. I know it's petty (and I don't want to sound ungrateful), but I always have my hands full!
I totally know what you mean! And the funny thing is, it's a really popular thing to bring flowers here in France, even in the states the only guests who would bring flowers to our parties were the French guests ha! I feel the same way about never wanting to be ungrateful, so I keep a few vases in our studio bedroom for such occasions so it doesn't become too cumbersome :)
What a wonderful adventure. Looking forward to some of these recipes in your book🎉
Oh yeah, both the stuffing and the pumpkin pie are in there and they’re two of my favorites!
Beth! You are such a champ, going to so much effort to put together a delicious Thanksgiving meal in France. It was really fun watching you track down ingredients, with a little help from the lovely locals at the market. So great to see your French friends and relatives enjoy everything too. What did they end up thinking of the marshmallow-y sweet potatoes? 😂
You know they actually loved it lol! They were so surprised how good they were ha!!!
@@EntertainingWithBeth Vindication! 😂
I can’t tell you how happy I am to see your face today. I really needed that. ❤
Aww I'm so happy I could be here for you :) So glad you enjoyed it!
A lot of work, but what fun. Thanks for sharing😊
This was so awesome to watch you gather all those things up. It was fun to see where you had to go to get things and explain I don’t think that’s right. What wonderful experience for your French friends and family to share how we do thanksgiving and that everyone does it this way, maybe a different recipe but this way.
You did a wonderful job and I so wanted to hear how they like the meal and the traditions. Do they normally celebrate a thanksgiving time?
Happy Thanksgiving!! Love hearing your journey there.
This was the funny part about the day, they kept asking "Do all Americans do it like this with all these dishes or is this just you?" They couldn't believe we did mashed potatoes, stuffing, cornbread, and sweet potatoes LOL! And I was like yep, pretty much! Ha!
Beth, you look absolutely stunning these days, I think living in Europe rejuvinates you! How cool! Also, what a beautiful Thanksgiving dinner you again pulled together! Love d' Allemagne
Bath, you're truly an inspiration! It's incredible to see your perseverance in making the Thanksgiving meal as authentic as possible and to see all your guests loving your food and clearing their plates, that must feel incredibly rewarding! As an expat also, living in the UK, I'm totally with you on dishes from home that immediately brings you a sense of home, and what's better than sharing that with others.
I have been watching all your videos since college over a decade ago, and now a self-proclaimed decent host, thanks to you. Please keep doing what you do, your videos have been a wonderful source of joy and inspiration for so many of us.
I loved this video. So much work and it all turned out beautifully! Well done, I truly hope you enjoyed it! ❤️
Always a spectacular meal. Kiddos to the girls, the charcuterie boards were beautiful.
Didn't they do a great job?! I was blown away when I saw those ha! So cute!!
Your dedication, hardwork g teamwork warmed my heart ❤
What a great fun video. You always pull it together, and make us look good taking your recipes and ideas!!!! Thank you Beth!!!!!!😊
Aww exactly! That's whole idea! I'm so glad the recipes have been a hit!
Love these type of videos! Congrats on bringing Thanksgiving to the first timers!
Beth you always have a way of bringing us along on your journey and I’m so glad you do! I sat down this morning with my puppers and said, let’s go to France for a while with Beth ❤ everything looked amazing! Happy Thanksgiving from California 🤗
Your life is an inspiration!!! Loved everything, you really pour your heart out in all you do! 💗

Loved every minute of this video. Thanks for sharing Beth. What a beautiful meal you prepared. I loved all the markets you went to to shop. How fun. 🎉❤ Happy Thanksgiving
Beautiful family and friends, what a gorgeous celebration!
Oh my goodness this was one of the best content you’ve made for us. Amazing I love it all bi love your problem solving I love the trips to the store. I love the scenery and especially how it all came together. Love love!! ❤️
Aww so glad you enjoyed it! Yes the scenery around here is so pretty :). Love that little town with the Chateau! Isn't it cute :)
I love watching your videos Beth! You are so genuine, creative, and kind. Well done the dinner was a success!
Hello, I have been a subscriber for several years. First of all, what appeals to me is your enthusiasm, your sincerity. I hope that your guests are aware of the privilege of being invited to your table. An anonymous person who appreciates your vision of the joys of life.
Aww that's so sweet of you to say :) I'm so glad you enjoy the videos! They are always such a joy to share!!
Loving your videos in France Beth
Aww thanks! So glad you are enjoying them! 👏🥰
I LOVED this video, Beth! It made me want to move back to France. I'm both American and British, having spent a couple of years at school in France many years ago. This video made me feel very nostalgic and made me laugh so many times. Thanks Beth and Philipe!
Aww I'm so glad you enjoyed it! And yes you have to have a sense of humor about it all, or you'll start crying LOL!
Beth, you are a phenomenal woman. I mentioned once, on one of your videos, that I would NEVER, be able to pull that off. Sorry, no way. I'm happy to see, all the empty plates. You are truly blessed, your husband is a great source of inspiration, strength and encouragement. I'm happy to see also that you got everything that you desired. Bonne chance mon ami. That was quite a haul😅😅😅😅❤❤❤❤❤
Ha! I seriously collapsed after it all! A lot harder in France with the smaller ovens, multi-store/market grocery shop, and down a few helpers, BUT it was seriously so heartwarming to see all our French family and friends enjoying all these American foods! It really was priceless at the end of the day and worth all the effort!
@EntertainingWithBeth I really admire you. Just glad they enjoyed everything ☺️☺️❤️
This is my favorite type of video. Thanks so much for sharing Beth. The cranberry quest warmed my heart ❤
Great video. Oh the things we take for granted. So much fun to see the contrast. I'm glad it all worked out for you!
This was an amazing video Beth, also those BOARDS!! OMG your girls really know how to make them, they looked like straight out of a book or a magazine, you taught them so well. Happy Holidays!
