Fall… I don’t know about you, but just that single word brings so much to my mind. Cooler weather, beautiful colors, great tasting food. Oh the food!!! Homemade applesauce, pumpkin spice everything, and all sorts of baked goodies.

Then you bring in Thanksgiving and all those yummy foods. Of course, food can be fun as the following recipes prove!

Pilgrim Snack Hat – If you have a kids table to help entertain the little ones before or after the meal, this should be on the list! Just a few normal crafting supplies and they have their own snack dispenser.

Meringue Pumpkins – These pumpkin shape treats, including their faces, are perfect for fall. I think I would color them a darker shade of orange and maybe leave the faces off for the Thanksgiving meal though.

Thanksgiving Turkey Cupcake – Free printables to turn a plain cupcake into a turkey for the table! Or you can even have folks color their own (this would be great for the kids table I think).

Pilgrim Hat Cookies – Cute and easy to make, you can’t beat that. You could also use the same ingredients to make a turkey or leaf outline as well.
