It may take a few years before I have this Thanksgiving Garland but it was a good start!

Here's What's Cooking
Well I may not be responsible for the Turkey or Ham or one of those more prominent Thanksgiving dishes served at the dinner table...and it's a good thing because what i've got going on seems to already be pushing my time limit! Wow how did they do it way back when??? I've sure had fun getting prepared with my nontraditional creations...that kitchen waiting to be cleaned surely won't be as fun...and i'm out of wine!
This is what i'm bringing to the table tomorrow and if you're searching for some last minute recipes...these aren't that difficult...especially if you don't have a 2 and 4 year old!

First up is a recipe from an old friend who just so happens to be one of the first places I celebrated Thanksgiving away from home. In fact it's one of the fondest Thanksgiving memories I have and hold close to my heart...the food was so delish! And if you're in the Kansas City area you just better get one of his Cheesecakes!!

Wait i think my bread is done...yep sure is...luckily i didn't burn it like i did the cranberry muffins yesterday!

Ok that bread is recipe number dos that I just had to try from my favorite blogger chic Her Mom does a segment on her blog with recipes that I LOVE LOVE LOVE and well Rita insisted on us doing something with our Pumpkins..we did the coconut pumpkin bread!

And then there's my standard potluck hit that my sister-in-law introduced me to, which is simply corn and cream cheese in a crock pot! I'll post some photos of this tomorrow!

Eat Drink and Be Merry and don't forget to be Thankful for all that you've got!

Lunch Box Idea:
Third Times a Charm!
Screams of delight squealed from Rita's mouth when she peeked into her lunch box before leaving for school. "Banana Dog YAY!!!" She'll be even more excited to see Mr. Banana's face! It's the little things :-)

Lunch Box Idea:

Sooo after our camping trip last weekend we ended up taking home some of the extra groceries...We had so many bananas that i made banana bread and hot dog buns that i sent PB & J Banana Dog twice last week and each time the lunch box came home empty. Wish I would have thought to be creative with the mini chocolate chip sprinkles and made a happy banana face!

LUNCH BOX IDEAS
TORTILLA ROLL UPS

I do this several different ways using any combo of favorites...cream cheese, guacamole, pb & j wheat or white tortilla.

Today we have cream cheese left over from the Ghost Toast. Spread the cream cheese evenly and then top: spinach, cilantro and deli turkey and roll up! These are great to make the night before because the roll up will be firmer. And some added yumminess = Giant Pretzel & Strawberries...YUM!
