{Recipe Round-Up} What to Take to Thanksgiving

November 21, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

 Hello Friends!

Are you a host or an invader?

This is the question I overheard someone asking at school the other day while talking about Thanksgiving break.  I’m assuming it was a cheeky way of saying “Are you having people over for Thanksgiving or going over to someone else’s house?”

If you are a host, you probably have a menu figured out already.  You can still check this post out for potential Christmas dinner goodies.  But if you are an attendee like me, you don’t want to end up in that awkward situation where everyone has brought some sort of food to the party and you haven’t.  That happened to me once, I felt like a huge mooch, never again.

I’ve rounded up some semi-healthy treats so that us “invaders” don’t experience the awkwardness of showing up empty handed!
 

(Also, have you checked out my apron giveaway?  Aprons are a great gift and essential this time of the year!  Go enter and come back to check out the goodies!)

Banana Chocolate Chip Confetti Bars

Also, check out my post on Semi-Healthy party tips.  Tips on how to not go overboard like we tend to over the holidays.  Believe you me, I will be reviewing this post as well!

I will be back this week for another Thankful Thursday link-up and a recipe for ya!
