Sandwiched between the fun of Halloween and the gift giving of the holiday season is Thanksgiving. Though it may not hold the allure or glamour to kids that Halloween or Christmas might, it's a holiday we all grow to love for its focus on family, food and of course, football.

We're gearing up for this all-American celebration of thanks with easy budget-friendly recipes that everyone will enjoy. Some of our latest and greatest ideas that the kids will get as excited for as their Halloween treats, come from contributor Meaghan Mounford - the creative genius behind the popular blog The Decorated Cookie.
