No matter if you have 2 or 20 people at your table, your Thanksgiving can be memorable. We especially love the tradition of going around the table and each person saying one thing they are grateful for from the past year. What Thanksgiving traditions do you have to share?
i LOVE the fruit turkey! We are a vegetarian family so we don’t serve turkey, i may have to make these this year!! It would be fun to give the kids ‘turkey’.
We are kind of starting our own traditions- I think I will always bake an apple pie from scratch for my family. It’s my favorite!
I love the Fruit Gobbler (and the other melon turkey to the right of this recipe too). I would actually change out the recipe a bit by combining the peanutbutter and cream cheese and adding a tablespoon or two of marshmallow fluff. yeah, I know it adds a bit of sugar, but my kids hound down their fruit when using this type of dip for it!
My kids would love the DIY Turkey muffins-they looks yummy and mom likes how healthy they are.
Heather,

The place cards are a cute idea to keep kids busy while you cook. We’ll be making some for Christmas.
Great idea Kimberly!
