Our Thankful Craft

Pilgrim and the Indian seal it with a kiss


We celebrated Thanksgiving this week over Meridith's and Penelope's house. Looking around us mom's could see alot to be thankful for. Our kids happily ran around in their holiday attire. Some even were brave and left the Indian or pilgrim headbands on! Meridith made the BEST food! It was a mini Thanksgiving feast which was topped off with a homemade pumpkin ice cream cake. (yes she got out her ice cream maker and MADE it...unlike the rest of us who has one stored somewhere collecting dust). She also got some great little hand print crafts for the kids! Rylan and I got there early as usual and had some great one on one time with the 2 hostesses. Then the party got rocken but we missed Pam and Melody (poor Mel was sick with an ear infection). The party even ended with a sweet kiss!
Here is the amazing recipe for one of the awesome things Meridith made:

Turkey Cranberry Wreath

2 pkg. refrigerated crescent rolls
1/2 C. mayonnaise
2 T. honey Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp. coarsely ground pepper
2 C. cooked turkey, chopped
1/2 C. celery, sliced
3 T. fresh parsley, snipped
1/2 C. sweetened dried cranberries
5 oz. Swiss cheese, shredded
1 egg white, beaten

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Unroll crescent dough; separate into 16 triangles. With wide ends of triangles toward the center. arrange 8 triangles in a circle on Large Round Stone. Corners of wide ends will touch and points will extend 1 inch beyond of baking stone. Arrange remaining 8 triangles in center. matching ends. Seal seams using pizza roller. (Points will overlap in center; do not seal.)

Combine turkey, 1 cup of cheese, celery, cranberries, parsley, mayo, mustard, and black pepper. Scoop filling over seams of dough, forming a circle.

Beginning in center, lift one dough triangle across mixture. Continue alternating with outer triangle, slightly overlapping to form wreath. Tuck last end under first.

Beat egg white lightly; brush over dough. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Yields 8 servings.
