Happiness is Homemade Link Party #558

Messy Messy Fail - How long will I be trying to catch up for?

Tidy Victory - Eventually I'll be caught up lol.





Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #558





Welcome to the Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #558 - it's Katie from Love My Messy Messy Mess and I'm continuing my hosting responsbilities for the month of November!

Now that Halloween is past us (I cannot tell you how much I was sweating that night running around after the kids, like literally sweating!) I've got my mind on Thanksgiving.  I typically go to my aunt's house in Buffalo - she loves hosting a big meal and we all chip in to help with sides, appetizers and desserts.

Let's get to this week's party - simply scroll down to see all the posts that have been linked up by our participating bloggers!

This Week's Features








It's so important to spend time outside and our national parks system is the perfect way to do that, whether it's alone for enjoy some quiet or with your family.  This post for Best National Parks to Visit in December from Rebecca, The National Parks Mom has a great list!













You may recall from last week's party that I love biscotti, it's really not difficult to make at all.  So this recipe for Caramel Apple Mandel Brot aka mini biscotti looks delicious and perfect to enjoy with a cup of coffee on a chilly fall day. 












I knew a yummy post roast was a thing, but how about in the form of a SOUP????  Delicious recipe for Pot Roast Soup from Judy at Simple Recipes, bravo woman!












I recycle, sometimes in a psychotic way, and love the idea of reusing items to make decor for the home.  This DIY Winter Wonderland Reusing Tea Container looks like a fun project and can be used really with any kind of container you have laying around the house!





Looking for a different dessert to bring to Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner?  How delicious does this Tiramisu Cheesecake Recipe from Anne's Entitled Life look?  Tiramisu is one of my favorite desserts (next to creme brulee that is!) and what a unique item to bring, not your typical holiday dessert!


Bonus Feature







I love egg nog so much - you either love it or you hate it.  I'll say it again, I LOVE it.  But I've never made it myself, let's try it - Instant Pot Egg Not
