These inspiring lush edible table runners will create a memorable event talked about forever. Turn you into an amazing hostess with tablescape centered with a greenery table runner surrounded by a bite-sized appetizing menu including fruits, vegetables, meats, breads, cheeses, desserts and more.

Edible Table Runners

I am not the best hostess.  In fact a few years ago I created a post Holiday Hosting Tips for you all, but it was truly more for me! I treat hostesses well but I never hold an event well. I think the stress of prepping gives me more anxiety than he reason for the occasion.

Since we have not family this Thanksgiving, I started looking (far in advance) for Friendsgiving Thanskgiving Ideas. This edible table runner hosting idea was a favorite for me. I saw it as lowing my anxiety because everything was immediately displayed for my guests. There was no pulling items in and out of the oven. The pressure of a menu and tablescape overlapped, becoming one. It also was different and stood out, bringing everyone to the table for fellowship.

What is an Edible Table Runner?

There is probably not much we need to describe, as it pretty much describes itself. An edible table runner is a centerpiece full of small bites eat. The centerpiece runs down the length of the table, no food is typically passed. An edible runner should look lush and appetizing, and typically is made of fruits, vegetables, breads, meats, cheeses and desserts. An edible table runner can fit the season – winter, spring, summer and fall or it can fit the holiday and occasion – Thanksgiving, Easter, brunch and whatever!

To decorate, start with your base.  It’s good to lay down a corresponding table cloth (stick with a neutral  table cloth like a waterproof tan linen so the colors of your foods pop). Then lay down a runner. We are a big fan greenery table runners.  After your tablecloth and runner, move your way to larger edible pieces. This includes loafs of bread or large fruits like pumpkins or cantaloupe. Next work your way down to the medium edible bites and then smaller edible items.

Greenery Table Runners

Choosing greenery as your table runner or centerpieces is a great decor option that can be dressed up or dressed down. It looks amazing with bright fruits and veggies. Use year-round in all seasons. Is it the dead of winter? Will the heat wilt your leaves in summer? Don’t fret. Amazon has plenty of greenery table runners to add a pop of color to your edible table runner.

We love these Faux Greenery Table Runners:

  • Eucalyptus and Willow Vines Runner
  • Boxwood Greenery Runner
  • Boxwood and Apple Frosted Leaves Runner

Learn the basics of creating a fruit centerpiece. Start with the larger fruits, move to the medium sized fruits and fill in with the smallest. | Photography by Meghan McNeer Styled by Kate Berry for Domino

Listen, your table runner doesn’t have to be exotic. Grab bags of chips. Eating sandwiches? Burgers? Hot dogs? Whatever your entree, lay chips on a wood plank. We find the vegetable sliced chips to be most attractive.  (Recall above you can finish your plank with a food-safe Butcher Block Conditioner.) | To Have to Host

Cheese, fruits and chocolates – how to create an edible table runner. | David Jones

Carb load with an edible bread table runner. Add butter and spreads around the table. A lot of tablescape inspiration from this wedding album. | Katie Grant Photo

This table runner is affordable, all the more affordable if you have fruit tree. Decorate with oranges, grapefruits, pomegranate and more. The fruit that is cut, really offers a pop of color (and makes for easy eating!) | Source

At your next summer gathering – three words. Fruit, Veggies, Peonies. | Paper n Stitch

Hot and juicy crawfish, shrimp broils, lobsters and clam bakes make the easiest table runner. Toss down newspaper and pour your edibles straight to the table once baked.  | House of Harper

For fall, have the harvest spread. Apples, pumpkins, squash, apricots and more. | Source

Fruits that are darker and richer in tone and make an excellent runner for July 4th or Memorial Day weekend. Insert a few flags to fit your theme. We like this blue and white Gingham checked tablecloth for your background. | Photography by Meghan McNeer Styled by Kate Berry for Domino

Death by chocolate. Fill a table full of chocolate – dark, milk, white and more. We also recommend mini cupcakes, brownies, cookies, chocolate-covered pretzels and more.  | Pizzazzerie

For Easter, put all your eggs in one basket table runner. Start collecting your egg cartons. Send home extra eggs with friends in a basket. | The House that Lars Built

For the Christmas season, a gingerbread house village makes a tasty table runner. Display with candy like candy canes, gum drops, chocolates and more. | Source

This citrus tablescape takes me home to Florida and the citrus trees in my grandmother’s and mother-in-law’s backyards. | Fashionable Hostess

Fall Simmer Pot Recipe – Homemade Potpourri

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

October 12, 2019 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Christmas, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Recipe, Social Media, Thanksgiving 1 Comment

Hosting family or friends this Thanksgiving or Christmas season? This Fall Simmer Pot Recipe comes with both stovetop and Crock-Pot directions. Only five minutes to prep this homemade potpourri! Cook as long as you would like.

Fall Simmer Pot Recipe

Fall Simmer Pot Recipe - Homemade Potpourri

One way to keep your home smelling good this Thanksgiving (and Christmas) season is with a Simmer Pot. A simmer pot takes natural ingredients and warms them on the stove releasing a combination of scents into the air making your home smell warm and inviting to guests.

Hostess Tips and Tricks

Because I am a terrible host, I put together our Hosting Tips and Tricks post. You guys must know the struggle is real, because you guys have pinned this post like crazy! If you are hosting a holiday gathering this fall, I suggest you take on some of these tips and tricks. A Fall Simmer Pot would be an excellent way to make your home smell inviting even if the outdoors temperature is 80 degrees and there isn’t a sign of snow on the ground.

Friendsgiving

This year might be the first Thanksgiving, in my almost 40 years of life, we are not with family.  In fact, I will spend a good chuck of it flying my girls back and forth from Florida to Virginia, only to not celebrate with them. I am not looking forward to it. This Thanksgiving is our first ever Friendsgiving – time with friends and giving thanks for the “family” we have 1,000 miles away from family by blood.

What is Friendsgiving?

Friendsgiving is not that old. It originated in 2009. It is a celebration of Thanksgiving among friends when you can’t be around family (or chose not to be) for the holidays.

We have the perfect post to get you started – Friendsgiving Thanksgiving Ideas with Friends. Share and Pin to your Thanksgiving Pinterest Board and grab ideas when you gather with friends!

This Fall Simmer Pot Recipe would be perfect for your stovetop if you are hosting!

Fall Simmer Pot Recipe Ingredients

The prep time for this simmer pot is only 5 minutes.

  • 1 orange, cut into chunks
  • 1 apple, cut into chunks
  • 1 sprig rosemary
  • 3 cinnamon sticks (This is a great price per stick!)
  • Water

Another suggestion is to keep the apple whole and press cloves into the apple. The cloves would replace the cinnamon sticks. Amazon also sells cinnamon essential oil and clove essential oil if you would prefer to add oils instead of the actual product. I think the product looks so beautiful so it would be something I would keep, but I wanted to give you the option.

You can use any pot to simmer that holds your ingredients but I fell in love with this discounted cooper simmer pot, isn’t it beautiful!?

September 23, 2019 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Recipe, Social Media, Thanksgiving Leave a Comment

This Cinnamon Apple French Toast Recipe will become a Saturday morning family favorite. Save excess and freeze or and serve over ice cream for a breakfast turned dessert recipe.

Cinnamon Apple French Toast Recipe

Cinnamon Apple French Toast Recipe

Saturday morning. Saturday morning is often very special for our family. It’s the traditional big breakfast Sunday where we make a ton to eat, often a sweet treat like French Toast, Crepes Pancakes or Cinnamon Rolls. While the purpose of this is family bonding, it has become a family tradition. Additionally, it is a bonus to my husband and I because we can be a little bit neglectful about lunch in the hustle and bustle of a Saturday.

A fall recipe that is quite tasty and adorably cute is our Cinnamon Apple French Toast Recipe. You can shape your french toast into adorable apple shapes or leave the shape as a slice of bread – we bet a child will have fun prepping the toast if you go with a cute cookie cutter shape. The recipe is tasty and leftovers can be used on top of ice cream as a Saturday evening dessert. The recipe is a breakfast win and a dinner win!.. and like I said above, it is a lunch win. We are often not home Saturday mid-day and don’t have to spend as much on lunch because of full bellies!

There are only a few simple ingredients in our fall french toast recipe.  This recipe yields 4 servings. Multiple as needed.

Cinnamon Apple Fall French Toast Recipe

How to Make Fall French Toast

Have little hands help you shape your toast before cooking it. Save scraps of bread for more french toast! Cut them into strips. They will not be straight (my kids didn’t mind). Cook them as you did the apple shaped ones and freeze for another day! You can always use your toast whole.

Serving Size: 2 pieces
Servings: 4

Cinnamon Apple French Toast Ingredients:

  • 8 slices whole wheat bread
  • 3 eggs
  • ¼ C milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Apple shaped cookie cutter (we used one like this one)

Apple Shaped French Toast Directions:

  1. Cut out apple shapes by pressing the cookie cutter into the center of the bread and gently push the bread out from the cookie cutter, making sure not to break the stem or leaf.
  2. Add eggs, milk, and vanilla to a bowl and whisk until combined.
  3. Melt butter over medium heat in a large pan.
  4. Dip apple shapes into the egg mixture, coating both sides, and allow excess to drip off.
  5. Place onto pan and cook for about 2-4 minutes, checking frequently, until golden brown.
  6. Flip over and do the same.

Gluten-free Thanksgiving Recipes

Gluten-free Thanksgiving Recipes

Almost 40 and I still have yet to make a Thanksgiving turkey. I can master almost any Thanksgiving side, but a large bird in my oven is so intimidating.  Thanksgiving is either a major holiday for us with close to 100 people gathered or it is very small. I have a family of seven and one year it was only four of us (granted the twins were in my belly and not on the outside)! Does this holiday sway back and forth for any other family? I think because of this, the turkey has always been covered. If we have a large gathering, the more seasoned chefs cook. If we have a very small gathering, we go out to eat.

That being said, sometimes our small gatherings lead to Friendsgiving Thanksgiving. In this situation, where there are many dietary needs, I try to accommodate everyone with my Thanksgiving recipes. This includes, being Keto-friendly and/or Gluten-free. This got me researching gluten-free Thanksgiving recipes that are tasty for all dietary restrictions!

Thankful for You Gift Tag and Thanksgiving Teacher Gift Idea

As a former teacher, I am always looking for creative ideas for teachers. I don’t have too much wiggled room in the wallet as I have five kids and more than five teachers, but I do want them to feel appreciated. In an effort to not give them something they will shove in the back of an empty desk drawer, I try to do little homemade things that will be used. The school day can be long, especially during the holidays, so I know food is often used (and appreciated!) I made this teacher gift tag for my kids but also wanted to share it with you. Use your Thankful for You Gift Tag for a teacher, a neighbor or bring to a celebration for a host. Enjoy!

Supplies:

  • Homemade (or store bought) bread or muffins  – We used Pillsbury Pumpkin Bread Mix
  • Fall Ribbon
  • Twine
  • Burlap
  • Parchment Paper
  • Cardstock
  • Printer ink

Thankful for the Hands that Teach Me free printable.  Pair this Fall Teacher Gift Tag with a bottle of soap for the Thanksgiving Season.

Thankful for the Hands that Teach Me

Thankful for the Hands that Teach Me Teacher Gift Tag

We have a sweet and thoughtful gift idea for you this fall season.  As a former teacher, I am always looking for ideas and ways to show appreciation to my children’s teachers. I have five kids, so grabbing expensive gifts is not always the solution. I have sent in $5 Starbucks gift cards (with free printable), candy bars (that I picked up in the checkout lane of the grocery store), Redbox codes (also a free printable) or even a small batch of the larger batch of cookies we made the evening before. Whatever the gift, small or big, it shows that I appreciate my child’s teacher and also represents a lot to the younger eyes that are watching.

This season we wanted to give you a free fall gift tag you can use for your child and their teacher. Print your gift tag and attach it to a seasonal soap dispenser. Today we used some of method’s limited edition soaps because they added the perfect color to the season. Enjoy!

You can save these and print from your own computer or we give you step by step directions to save and print at Staples Copy Center.

Supplies:

  • Method hand soap or a soap of your choice (often Bath and Body Works has seasonal sales)
  • Ribbon, twine, or other decor
  • Cardstock
  • Printer ink
