Thanksgiving Food Fun

Turkeys, turkeys, turkeys...gotta have more than just the main one with stuffing. Here I did a cheese ball you can but a cheese ball already made or use your favorite recipe. I added sliced almonds for feathers, pretzel sticks for feet and for feathers I cut shiska bob sticks in half and used cheese cubes, tomatoes and green olives. A ritz cracker head and red bell pepper round out the head. The cookie recipe is one of many that I found online. I used a stiped cookie, an almond candy and candy corn stuck together with choc frosting. 

The bread bowl turkey. I hollowed out the bread bowl to fit my bowl down inside, the side wings are the top I cut out of the the bowl, the head a roll, raisin eyes, bell pepper waddle. The back feathers are carrots, zuchinni squash and yellow squash. 

The cornicopia is one one of my very favorite things to make. Make a cornicopia shape with aluminum foil, spray it down with cooking spray wrap with yummy breadsticks and bake in the oven, when cool remove the foil and add veggies of your choice.

Dip oreos in orange melting choc green icing and pretzels for the top

A upside down striped cookie, reese peanut butter cups and yellow icing and pilgrim hats are gobbled down.

Works For Me Wednesday - Fun Thanksgiving Food

I make a centerpiece with my food for Thanksgiving.



Cornicopia ---- THis is really simplier than it looks and is always a talked about item. Instead of a boring veggie plate...take aluminum foil and shape it to a cornicopia, fill it with balled up aluminum foil so it will keep it's shape. Then spray it with cooking spray and using breadsticks wrap around the foil, bake in the oven on 400 till lightly browned. Let cool fill with fresh veggies and put some dip on the side.

Bread Bowl with dip --- Take a round loaf of bread and hollow out place for dip bowl. Then take a small roll attach with toothpick at front for head. Slice a roll for wings (attach with toothpicks) the feathers are zuchini and yellow squash anf carrots cut in feather shapes, for the waddle I cut a piece of red bell pepper, and raisin eyes.



Turkey Cheese Ball - Make my cheese ball as normal, pretzels for the feet, on the back I used pretzel sticks and put on cheese cube, tomato and olive but it might be easier to use long tooth picks or cut down kabob sticks. For the feather appearance half almonds stuck in all over cheeseball, The head is a little trickier you have to cut the craker down and the cut a shape of red bell pepper. I just used black decorating icing for eyes because no one eats that cracker anyway.

Turkey Cookies - I use choc almond bark to attach pieces. I used a almond drop candy for the body (easily found around holidays) attach candy corns to feathers and head.
