Thanksgiving is the perfect time to spend with friends and family. It’s a time to show gratitude for all the blessings in our lives and of course, enjoy some good ole’ home cooking! Here at Hinkle Hardscapes, we understand the importance of spending this time with your loved ones and have compiled some of our favorite recipes to make the ultimate Thanksgiving feast!

Unique & Unforgettable Sides

Baked Zucchini Sticks

We know desserts tend to get a lot of the love on Thanksgiving, but it can’t hurt to get some healthy foods out there. These zucchini sticks are a simple recipe that’ll be sure to impress!

Campfire Apples

The entire Thanksgiving celebration doesn’t have to be spent entirely inside. For those with a fire pit or fireplace outside, why not take a stab at these campfire apples? They’re easy to make and will be a fun activity for the kids! Not to mention the fact that it’s not looking like it will be terribly cold Thanksgiving here in the Kansas City area.

Sweets that Everybody Will Love

Pumpkin Spice Truffles

One thing you can never go wrong with during the Fall season is pumpkin spice! You can have everything from pumpkin spice lattes to pumpkin spice Cheerios, so it’s best to ensure it reserves a spot on your Thanksgiving table in one way or another! These truffles have become a favorite of ours and we strongly encourage you to try them out.

Apple Pie Cinnamon Rolls

While I mentioned above the role pumpkin spice has on the the season, there are some (not many!) people who aren’t so big on the flavor. We don’t want to leave those individuals out in the cold on the dessert portion. With this in mind, we’re pretty sure these apple pie cinnamon rolls will fill the void!

Take the Party Outside!

Generally speaking, Novembers in Kansas City are usually pretty cold. However, it’s already well into November and we’re still finding the weather hitting 60-degrees on a routine basis. With this being the case, don’t hesitate to do some celebrating outside. Is your backyard not ready to host a Thanksgiving feast? Don’t hesitate to contact us at (816) 608-8870 and we’ll make sure you’ll have the outdoor living space to host any party!
