Thanksgiving Recap

We hosted Thanksgiving and this was a last minute decor idea. I bought king size Hershey bars and found this great website where you can print your own candy bar wrappers for any holiday or special occasions so no need for an extra step to download any special apps.

I thought this one would be perfect for a sweet treat on Valentine's Day. 

Leftovers: The photo below shows some of Ever Ready recipes served. The supporting sides bought by guests did not make the picture nor did the turkey which was polished off leaving no leftovers behind.
