For those of you who follow me on Instagram, (if you don’t come join me, I post pretty pics!) I posted a sneak peek of a new free printable Thanksgiving banner I was working on. I decided to create a simple kraft banner with the words “Give Thanks” on it for anyone to use. I used kraft color because it’s pretty neutral and will go with almost any color fall or Thanksgiving decor in your home.

I like the cute white hearts – you can add those, or leave them off if you want

Here’s my new banner hung on my sofa table in our family room. I was really excited to create this little fall/Thanksgiving vignette because I decided I didn’t want any orange in my decor here and only used white, gold, browns and the fun pops of aqua. Most of the pumpkins you see were orange or another color, but I spray painted them gold and white to match my color scheme.

I’m really enjoying this fun little area in my home – it’s totally me and makes me smile.

I created the banner with black letters as well – I love this look just as much, but the white went better with my decor, so that’s what I hung up.

Which one do you like better – the white or the black?? I can’t choose, I love them both!

To download the free printable banner, I’d love for you to subscribe to my newsletter by entering your info in the boxes below, or in the aqua banner at the top of the page. I like to give my newsletter subscribers exclusive free printables in addition to the ones available on the blog. You don’t want to miss out, do you?? I promise I won’t flood your Inbox with emails!

Can you believe Thanksgiving is in 3 days?? That’s just crazy! Luckily I’m not responsible for preparing all of Thanksgiving dinner, but I am in charge of dessert! My husband’s family aren’t all big Pumpkin Pie eaters but I’m a big pumpkin lover so I always bring something pumpkin-y for dessert along with something to please the others like a fruit pie or something with chocolate in it.

This year I decided I’ll be making a Pumpkin Cheesecake Parfait. This dessert can obviously be used any time during the fall/winter months, not just for Thanksgiving. It’s a very rich and creamy dessert so for a little twist and to balance out the sweetness, I used healthy Post Grape Nuts cereal for my topping, which gives it a nice nutty taste. INSIDER TIP: Post cereals are on sale at Walgreens this week for $1.99 a box – such a great deal!

And depending on where you’ll be serving this dessert, you can either make it in parfait cups or small mason jars which are excellent for transporting.

Pumpkin Cheesecake Parfait Ingredients

24 Biscoff Cookies, crushed

2 cups pumpkin puree

2 blocks softened cream cheese

1 cup sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla

1 Tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

2 tubs (12 oz) whipped topping, thawed

1/4 cup Post Grape Nuts cereal

This recipe will make 6-8 parfait cups or 8-10 small mason jar servings.

Directions

1. Place Biscoff cookies in a plastic bag and crush to form small pieces. Place crumbs in the bottom of each of your serving dishes.

2. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add pumpkin, sugar, vanilla and pumpkin pie spice and beat until well combined and creamy.

3. Using a spatula, fold in 1 tub of whipped topping until completely combined.

4. Layer pumpkin mixture over cookies using a spoon or piping bag.

5. Layer whipped topping over pumpkin layer and repeat pumpkin and whipped topping layers. Place in refrigerator until ready to serve.

6. Garnish with a sprinkle of Grape Nuts cereal.

If you will be transporting your parfait in mason jars, you can add a cupcake liner to the lids of your jars. Make them even cuter by adding a simple Happy Thanksgiving printable tag tied with twine. Your guests will be very impressed!

I printed my tags on brown kraft cardstock, but you can use whatever color you wish.

Thank you to Country Crock for sponsoring this post. Visit and tell us your favorite Thanksgiving veggie for extra entries into this giveaway. I was selected for this opportunity as a member of Clever Girls Collective.

It’s never too early to start planning that wonderful Thanksgiving meal that everyone looks forward to, especially if dinner is at your house! My advice: plan that menu NOW and give everyone their assignments early so no one’s stressed out at the last minute.

The veggies are always one that I struggle with because I want to make something other than plain old corn or green beans, but I want the kids to eat it too! I was asked to create a Thanksgiving side dish recipe using Country Crock spread in place of butter. I thought this Browned Butternut Squash recipe would please both adults AND kids because the squash is cooked in Country Crock pumpkin spread (with 0 grams of trans fat) and little bit of brown sugar.

I also love this recipe because it’s very easy and only requires a few ingredients.

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons Country Crock Pumpkin Spice spread

1 butternut squash (about 1 3/4 lbs), peeled, seeded, and cut into 3/4-inch cubes

1/2 cup low-sodium canned chicken broth

1/4 cup water

1 tablespoon dark-brown sugar

Directions:

1. Heat Pumpkin Spice spread in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add squash, saute, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork, about 16 minutes.

2. Add chicken broth, the water, and brown sugar, cook until liquid has evaporated and squash is nicely caramelized, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat, and season with salt and pepper.

Yummy squash cooking in the skillet

The squash turned out delicious and the kids even liked it – yay!! It’s a little sweet, but not too sweet and the pumpkin spice spread gives it just a perfect hint of pumpkin flavor. We’ve also used the Pumpkin Spice spread on rolls and they are soooo yummy – I would highly recommend to everyone!

If you’re looking for some other vegetable side dishes to serve for Thanksgiving, Country Crock has more great recipes over on their site.
