Another of my favorite recipes for kids at Thanksgiving is the Thanksgiving Blessing Mix by OrganizedChristmas.com  This makes a great classroom activity and looks cute baggged as a gift with a tag telling what the foods represent…


THANKSGIVING BLESSINGS MIX
Bugles- cornucopia/horn of plenty- a symbol of abundance
Pumpkin Seeds (pepitas)- symbol of future harvests
Dried fruits- cranberries and raisins- harvest gifts enjoyed from the land
Candy Corn- symbol of settlers’ survival on just a few kernels of corn each day when food was scarce
M&M’s- memories of those before us
Pretzels- symbol of arms folded in prayer- which was a freedom sought by the founders of our country
Hershey’s Kiss- one per person- symbol of love and sweetness of family and friends

This last recipe is one that I made with my children and they loved it so much that I wanted to share…

The ingredients are simple-

Pepperidge Farm Milano Cookies

Jumbo Marshmallows (cut horizontally with kitchen scissors to make turkey feathers)

Melting Chocolates, Sprinkles, Butterscotch Chips, Orange Edible Ink Pen for feet

To make the Turkey Cookies-

Melt 3/4 cup melting chocolates and dip marshmallow “feathers” in melted chocolate.

Attach to back of Milano cookie right away.  Shake on sprinkles. Place on wax paper to dry.

Add butterscotch chips for eyes using a dab of icing.  Draw beak by dipping toothpick in melted chocolate and using toothpick as a pencil.  Draw feet with orange edible writing pen.

So easy!  Enjoy!

Gobble, Gobble!

Celebrating your birthday with a Mexican Fiesta is a sure way to have a great time!  My daughter and several of her friends had a ball with all of the bright colors and (hopefully) vivid memories of a beautiful party day full of fun!  Planning all of the party ideas and details was loads of fun- although we don’t claim to have everything authentically perfect- this is our take on a party that combines Mexican birthday party ideas with a young girl’s likes and wishes!  For instance, we know hedgehogs don’t hail from Mexico- but when she fell in love with a festive-looking hedgehog at a local shop, we decided the hedgehog would make a perfectly fun party favor!  So read on and enjoy- and hopefully you will find an idea or two that you can use for a Mexican-themed party or even a Cinco de Mayo celebration, too- and inspiration to incorporate ideas that make your party perfectly-suited for the birthday child!
