I need ideas for two dishes to take to my sons preschool Thanksgiving dinner…IDEAS PLEASE?!?
It can be a meat casserole, vegetable casserole, dessert, or some type of bread. Oh…and these are kids ages two through five. And, I will choose best answer! THANK YOU!!!
Here’s a really easy dessert that was always a hit with the kids at our Thanksgiving dinners..
Dirt Pudding
13 x 9 inch pan
1 package cream cheese (softened)
2 boxes of instant french vanilla pudding
4 cups of milk to make the pudding
Package of oreos
1 medium sized bowl of cool whip
Put oreos in a food processor to crumble them finely into "dirt." Use half to layer the bottom of a 13×9 inch pan. In a large bowl, Make the french vanilla pudding according to package directions. Mix in softened cream cheese on high speed, until lumps are gone. Stir in cool whip. Pour into pan over the cookie crumbs. Use other half of cookie crumbs on top of the pudding. Chill for one hour. Tell the kids it’s really dirt after they start to eat it, haha.
Another idea is to make spinach dip with king bread. It’s simple and really good. The recipe for the dip is on the back of the Knoll’s vegetable soup mix package. It’s basically just mixing their dry veggie soup with a 16 oz container of sour cream, and 1 cup of mayonaisse, and chilling in the fridge for 2 hrs. I buy the circular sweet Hawaiian King’s bread, cut a circle out of the middle of it and pour the dip into that space. Then voila, excellent pull and eat appetizer with very little effort.
here’s one
Cranberry Relish I
Ingredients
1 large orange, quartered with peel 1 pound cranberries 1 1/2 cups white sugar 1/2 cup apricot preserves 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained 2 tablespoons lemon juice

hope that helped! 🙂
I suggest Lasagna and/or Taco Casserole. Both very filling and not too much work…and very good i might add… also, cinnamon rolls are pretty easy and kids love em.
