DIY: Herb Scented Place Cards

Here's a simple, last minute Place Card DIY project.

You'll probably have all the materials on hand come Thanksgiving Day. Like card stock or heavy paper and your typical holiday herbs like Rosemary, Thyme and Sage...even a sprig of dried flowers will do.

I created my cards in a design program and printed on white card stock, but you can simply use card stock in any color and cut into 3 1/4  x  2 3/4 pieces, then fold in half. (I scored mine for a cleaner fold.) Use a hole puncher or poke a small hole in the middle of the fold with the tip of a scissor or knife. Write the name of your guest on the front.

  
Try using a gold marker for a touch of sparkle.
 

 Insert your sprig of choice, place your card on the table and enjoy the aroma of the holidays.

TRY THIS on the BACK of the CARD
• Have your guests write what they're thankful for. 

• Write why you're thankful for their friendship.

• Write their name on both sides...you never know if the person sitting across from them has the best memory!

• Or simply write "Give Thanks".

Happy Thanksgiving!

Cuplettes: What to do with your Thanksgiving leftovers

I know it's a bit early to be thinking about your Thanksgiving leftovers but I found these Cuplettes and think they're the perfect solution. Cuplettes are unique silicon baking trays that come with attachable smaller cups that snap in place after filling the larger cup. They come in two sizes, a larger version for more savory treats and a smaller size for desserts and appetizers. In just a few minutes, you'll have a Cuplettes creation with a fillable hole. You can buy them here

They're great for entertaining and the possibilities are endless.

I added some stuffing to the larger cup. Tip: you'll need a moist stuffing so I added an egg to mine. I then placed the smaller cup on top and layered it with sweet potato, turkey, cranberry sauce, sweet potato and then topped it off with some mini marshmallows. Baked at 350° for about 20-30 minutes.

Let the cups cool down a bit before unsnapping them.

Remove each filling from their cuplette and place sweet potato mixture inside stuffing cup.

I added some gravy to mine and sliced right into it. Yum!! I can't wait to create more recipes.
