Thank you for your well wishes for Daisy. She is feeling much better! This past Friday, we hosted a Thanksgiving dessert party at our house.
We visited, sang songs and of course, ate lots of sweet treats!
Gingerbread with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting. I used my Gingerbread Cupcake recipe.
M&M cookies.
Chocolate Caramel Candy that my sister, Amy introduced me to. These squares taste just like snicker bars, only better. I have an extra pan in the freezer for Christmas presents. If they last that long. ;0)
I also picked up brownie bites and a cheesecake at Costco.
My mother-in-law has been staying with us for a few weeks and helped me set everything up. We also served coffee, apple cider and hot chocolate with marshmallows.
Thank you for stopping by for a visit. I'm sure many of us are busy with Thanksgiving plans this week. I need to finalize my menu and brave the grocery store!
Whoa, Nellie-- I mean Kelli:) I'm getting ready to go head for bed and those desserts look scrumptious! Makes me hungry:)
ReplyDeleteGood luck at the grocery store.
I got my turkey today (38 cents a lb.!) and some items at just a quick trip. Will complete it tomorrow- although we are expecting 1-2" of snow by morning... Ugh!Not ready for that yet;)
Linda C
OH Kelli! Everything looks so lovely. I wish I lived closer.....maybe you would have invited me.
ReplyDeleteHow lucky your Mother-In-Law is having you for a Daughter-In-Law. Hope she is doing okay. :-)
Glad to hear Daisy is getting better. She looked so pitiful in that picture. :-(
Hope you and all of your family have the best week ever. Love, Debbi

ReplyDeleteHi Kelli,
ReplyDeleteA dessert party sounds fun! All your desserts look soooooo good. I can't wait to try the carmel candy bars. My husbands favorite candy bar is Snickers so I'm sure they will be a hit. I'm off to brave the grocery store too:) I made your pumpkin butterscotch cookies Saturday and everyone loved them. I am going to do the bread next.
