This year I'll be bringing my Wilton Cake Decorating Basics finale cake to dinner but since everyone won't have the time to make a fancy cake like that, I thought I'd look for something for my readers to take along.
I found a super quick and yummy treat idea over at Organized Christmas. This website has been amazing to me this year and I am so glad I found it. Ignore the part that says Christmas because it's also got things for Halloween and Thanksgiving, the holidays that lead up to Christmas. Stay tuned next year when I attempt to follow their plan from August through New Year's Day.
What's great about that link is that they not only provide the ideas, they also give directions and free printable tags.

What are you bringing to the Thanksgiving Table this year?
You'd never get all the Bugles in, they're one of Mr. Nick's favorites. He'd steal them out of all the bags. I myself as a treat would prefer a bag of money instead. Think about that as a treat....Ohhh...Yeah!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the ideas! Though I won't have family at my house, the kids and I will have fun doing them.
