Prepare a Guest List

It's easy to put off preparing a guest list until the last minute. However, this is one of the most critical aspects of planning a good Thanksgiving dinner. A solid guest list will let you know who's coming over so you can prepare an appropriate amount of food and come up with a few holiday game ideas like charades or card games.

It's also a great starting point for structuring apartment kitchens and seating arrangements. If you're having overnight guests, you should also consider additional arrangements to sleep comfortably during their stay.

Menu Plan and Organization

People are always thinking of new menus and ideas to come up with when cooking for Thanksgiving. This year, we recommend trying out a delicious turkey tetrazzini with some Caesar salad spears on the side, which are great for cooking in an apartment kitchen. With a pasta-based main dish, sides like whole roasted carrots or balsamic bruschetta are fantastic choices.

When it comes to decorating, why not add a few pops of color to your table this year? Create colorful card-themed designs to add to the center of your table and incorporate a little vibrance into the atmosphere.

Cooking in an Apartment Kitchen Has Never Been Easier

Not sure about doing Thanksgiving at your apartment? With an electric range and convenient built-in dishwasher, cooking and cleanup are easy this holiday season. So, invite family and friends over to your Kruseway Commons apartment and have an unforgettable Thanksgiving you'll remember for years to come.

1. Engage and Unwind in the New Community Clubhouse

Our community clubhouse now boasts an even grander theater room with Blu-ray and an HD big-screen television replete with surround sound. Of course, Wi-Fi access is available to stream from secondary devices. Bored with TV? Take a turn challenging one another at the shuffleboard table. Those needing to tend to business can take respite in the plush, private conference room and then enjoy the amenities.

2. Prepare Meals in Our State-of-the-Art Community Kitchen

Most gatherings involve serving food or at least snacks and drinks. There’s no need to call out for catering unless you prefer to, and there’s no need to transport your cooked goods all the way from your apartment to the community lounge. Our newly remodeled and updated kitchen is fully equipped and meal-prep ready. The two-sided bar layout is ideal for self-serve buffet setups, and there are seated spaces inside and also by the sparkling pool.

Our mission is to make our apartments in Lake Oswego as comfortable as possible, which is why we provide exercise and outdoor spaces for you to enjoy.
