I can’t believe we are just about a week away from Thanksgiving! \u00a0I feel like this month is just going by in the blink of an eye! \u00a0Seriously, it is going to be the New Year before I know it and I will wonder where it all went? \u00a0The last 3 years since having my 4th child it has felt like that for me and I don’t think it will be slowing down anytime soon!<\/p>\n

So do you all have your Thanksgiving menu set?? \u00a0We often do mostly the same thing for every holiday meal. \u00a0If you find what you like don’t mess with it… right!?!? \u00a0If you are still looking for one more kid friendly side then this is one you will want to try out. \u00a0It is so easy to make and it often finds its way into holiday or birthday meals around here. \u00a0This salad always reminds me of my Grandma and Aunt because I grew up having this at several of our family meals. \u00a0I had almost forgotten about it until about 5-6 years ago when I was at my Aunt’s house and she made it. \u00a0It became an instant favorite with my kids and I have been making it ever since. \u00a0I mean….it has marshmallows in it so what’s not to love!?!?\"\"<\/p>\n

Here is what you need. \u00a0This is totally versatile and so easy to double or add more or less of something. \u00a0I actually never really measure anything with this as long as you have some pineapple chunks, mandarin oranges, bananas, marshmallows, and sour cream! \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Open up your cans of fruit, drain all the juice, and then dump the fruit into a bowl. \u00a0Slice up your bananas. \u00a0Add some marshmallows, maybe about a cup, seriously just go with what looks right in the bowl. \u00a0Then stir it all together.\"\"<\/p>\n

Next to make it all creamy add a little sour cream. \u00a0Start with a small amount as I feel it is easy to overdo it. \u00a0I usually just start with a spoonful, as seen below, and mix it up. \u00a0Then add a little more if needed. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

That is it! \u00a0A simple easy side that is kid friendly and a crowd pleaser! \u00a0Serve immediately so the bananas don’t go brown. \u00a0If you need to prepare ahead just add the bananas right before serving. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

So, do you like to try new menu items for the holidays every year or do you keep it the same? \u00a0I tend to keep it mostly the same with sometimes trying out a new fun side or dessert…usually along with all the other usuals!<\/p>\n
