Thanksgiving Fruit Salad
Ingredients:
mixed berries (2 cups) (like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
2 ripe pears, diced
2 apples, diced
pomegranate seeds (1 cup)
1 Tablespoon honey (adjust to taste)
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts) for topping (optional)
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the mixed berries, diced pears, diced apples, and pomegranate seeds.
Next, in a small bowl, whisk together the honey and fresh lemon juice to create a simple dressing.
Drizzle the honey-lemon dressing over the fruit mixture and gently toss to coat the fruits evenly.
Taste the fruit salad and adjust the sweetness with more honey if desired.
If using, sprinkle chopped nuts on top of the fruit salad for added crunch and flavor.
Serve the Thanksgiving fruit salad immediately or refrigerate a short while to allow the flavors to meld.
Turkey Cupcakes:
Take that leftover Halloween candy corn and use it to create turkey cupcakes! Grab some store bought cupcakes (I used mini pumpkin spice ones) and some candy eyes.
Place several pieces of candy corn narrow side down into the icing at the back of the cupcake. This creates the turkey feathers.
Next, place candy eyes on the icing and then break the tip off of a piece of candy corn and place just below the eyes for the turkey beak.
Acorn Bites
Ingredients:
Mini Nilla wafers
Hershey’s kisses
Mini chocolate chips
Nutella (you can also use chocolate frosting instead)
Directions:
Start by applying Nutella (or chocolate frosting) to the bottom of a Hershey Kiss.
Attach a mini Nilla wafer to the Hershey kiss using Nutella or frosting as your ‘glue.’
Carefully dip the bottom of a mini chocolate chip in Nutella and place on top of the mini Nilla wafer to make the top of the acorn
Enjoy!
