24 xmas food gifts ideas

I’m about to get you a. really excited for Thanksgiving and b. really hungry…. apple pie on a stick {genius!} pecan pie tarts Last year, I went over all the reasons why you should have a Friendsgiving, even though none are really needed because I think that everyone needs Thanksgiving more than one day per year. It’s so much fun to have all of your closest friends together and eat all of your favorite foods, am I right? For our Friendsgiving, each couple or single offered to bring a different dish (or even two!) and then we provided dinner rolls, dessert, drinks, etc. on top of that. If you want a recipe (literally) for a good time, get your friends together at someone’s house and do this. It was so good that I didn’t get many pictures of the whole event. I was just really in the moment enjoying the time we had together. Or you could blame it on the third helpings that I had…whichever. I did get a few though of our awesome turkeys and I took pictures of the “favors” I made everyone. The boys deep fry the turkey and they did two turkeys this year. They put a cajun seasoning on top and I swear to you that everyone loves it. They say it is the best turkey they have ever had. If you have never had deep fried turkey before, you should! As for the favors, my checklist for these was something like this: Something everyone could easily bring home. Simple. Cute. Practical. Yummy. Enter…. How you do it: It’s pretty simple. Just buy your favorite hot cocoa mix, mini marshmallows, mini chocolate chips, and Andes peppermints and layer them all in a mason jar. I didn’t measure anything out really, except I put about a cup (or a little more) of hot cocoa in each. This will make around 8 servings or so of hot cocoa. Good ole mason jars..always pulling through with the best ideas for me (you too Pinterest). Feel free to steal this idea and make some for your friends for the holidays! Last but not least, for some reason I found this picture to be hysterical-baby in ghost chair? so posh! 2nd annual Friendsgiving…SUCCESS! Have you ever done this with your friends? If not, what are you waiting for? 🙂
