Kwanzaa Party Supplies
Kwanzaa Party Supplies For an interesting twist with party themes take the Kwanzaa
Party Supplies mixed with another theme creating a unique
event. It's Kwanzaa time. Put up green, red and black decorations to match the colors of the seven Kwanzaa candles at this celebration. Some people choose to dress in traditional African garb, but this isn't necessary to honor the Holiday. You can also use tablecloth and napkins with African designs on them or serve up dishes in woven baskets. Have the kids make decorations out of construction paper. Make sure to create a centerpiece signifying a bountiful harvest of corn (usually one ear of corn per child in the household), apples, straw and other crops. Give out the fruit as a party favor. Make your Holiday
party original!

Kwanzaa Recipes
Crockpot Pork Chops This Kwanzaa make sure you have the time to celebrate with your family. Try cooking up a feast of pork chops with this easy crock pot recipe. They practically cook themselves. 8 to 10 small, thick porkchops 2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp pepper 1/8 tsp sage 1 can (12 oz) cream of mushroom soup 1 Tbsp dried onion flakes Trim the excess fat from the chops and use it to grease a large skillet. Over high heat, brown each chop lightly on both sides. Salt and pepper each as it finishes and place it in the crockpot. Add the sage. Turn the soup (undiluted) and the onion flakes into the still hot skillet. Scrape the pan juices and turn them into the cooker. Cover and cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours. I got this recipe from a friend at work and the hubby just loves it! |

A Kwanzaa Party is time to celebrate family, community and the rich African culture. Your Kwanzaa invites will have the 7 candle symbol on them, 3 red, 3 green and 1 black. These colors will be carried throughout in your decorations using streamers, balloons and African prints. Display African art objects, textiles, and maps on tables and walls but most, importantly, set aside a special place for you Kwanzaa set. Place these items on a low table in the central location of your party area. Place colorful floor pillows around the table for guests to sit on. Cover the table with an African cloth and place a mat (called a mkeka) on the cloth. Then put the Kwanzaa candleholder (kinara) on the cloth with the 7 candles mentioned above. Colored fruits, and vegetables symbolize the crops and corn are then placed on the table to symbolize children. For activities guests will bring family photos and make scrapbooks. Sing along are also popular as well as dancing. Kwanzaa dinners usually feature African-America dishes. Start with okra gumbo or African stew. Roast beef, lamb kabobs or jerk chicken or pork make a delicious centerpiece for your Kwanzaa feast. Accompany your main dishes with corn casserole, red beans, rice, sweet potato soufflé, and fried okra. Round out the meal with zucchini bread, sweet potato pie and benne cakes (West African cookies).
