So you wanted to show off your exceptional culinary skills this Thanksgiving, but haven’t had the time to even think about outside-the-box creative cooking ideas? Well, if you’ve got five minutes to spare, we’ve got ten easy ideas pulled from the infinite creative network of Pinterest.
Read on for LIVE!’s top five holiday cooking quirks, complete with photos and links to recipes. We’ve put focus on variety here, and tried to keep it limited to items that won’t require numerous trips to specialty isles in the supermarket. Got an idea? Share it with us!
Stuffins
Arguably one of the most filling items on any Thanksgiving menu, stuffing portions can often be tough to gage, and they seem to expand as soon as they’ve been swallowed. Avoid feeling miserably full this year by making your stuffin’ in a muffin! Just use your favorite recipe and bake in muffin cups.
Pie on a Stick
Much more fancy than the name implies, these cute mini pies will be hit with both kids and adults. Use different shape cookie cutters for different pie patterns, and control your portion sizes with a creative desert disguise.
Thanksgiving Gratitude Rolls
Here’s a twist on the traditional that anyone can do. Have your guests write notes of what they’re thankful for and roll them up in your croissants. Or go the fortune cookie route and write surprise messages for all of your guests. Make sure they don’t swallow the paper!
Check out how they're made here.
Apple Bourbon Mojitos
While the kids are enjoying their fourth Pie on a Stick, mix the grown ups some special holiday juice. We haven’t tried this recipe yet, but the title alone speaks volumes and a perusal of the ingredients list screams ‘fall in a glass.’ Let us know how it is if you make it!
Roasted Sweet Potato and Onion Tart
A fancy menu item for those wishing to step away from the traditional butter and sugar sweet potato mush and try something different with those orange roots.
