Thanksgiving Pumpkin Trifle and Giving Thanks

It's the Sunday before Thanksgiving....are you ready?!?!  I am thankful for the fact that I procrastinated long enough this morning that by the time I made it to do my shopping the Bronco game had started and the morning rush was gone.  There were still a few cranky stragglers shopping, but I was not about to let them get to me.


Since we have been holed up for the past four months doing projects and getting settled into our home, I thought now would be a good time to walk through our street and introduce ourselves to our neighbors...and I even game with gifts.


Last night I knocked out two batches of my Suzie's Pumpkin Bread and packaged them all up.  I made bags for each neighbor of bread, napkins and contact information for us.  It was a beautiful sunny day today and perfect for getting out there and meeting everyone.


Since I got a little overzealous and made a few too many loaves of pumpkin bread, I tried something new this year to use them up.  Thanksgiving Pumpkin Trifle!  Oh my goodness!  I actually don't know what else to say.


Pumpkin Trifle

(3) mini loaves pumpkin bread
Smuckers Caramel sauce
Praline pecans
Craisins
1 tub Cool Whip (or make your own whipped cream from scratch)

Cut up one loaf into 1" pieces.  Layer pieces at bottom of trifle dish.  Spread 1/3 of the whipped cream over bread.  Drizzle caramel sauce over whipped cream.  Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the pecans and Craisins over caramel sauce.  Repeat for 2 more layers.  Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 2 hours.  

Enjoy every beautiful spoonful of thanks!
