Giving back to others this Thanksgiving Holiday

The Bellisima Delights family donated their yummy holiday sweet potato pies and volunteered their time with the less fortunate this Thanksgiving. The great people over at FP YOUTHOUTCRY organized their 2nd Annual Breaking Bread with You Ceremony at Military Park, downtown Newark, NJ.

We arrived with a Box of Joe for the early morning volunteers and some clothes for the winter clothing drive. Then we broke out into groups and headed to the streets to spread the word that beginning at 10 a.m. we would begin our Thanksgiving feast for all to enjoy. Before going back to Military Park we stopped by Covenant House, a shelter for homeless teens, and invited them to join us over at the park.

The tables were full and the food was being served throughout the morning with people able to get seconds. Many people left with warm coats and winter clothes before leaving with "take-home packages".

This Thanksgiving morning was great giving back to others. Thank you to all of the organizers and volunteers! Special thanks to Tiffany "The Budgetnista" for the FB invite! We look forward to being at next year's Annual Breaking Bread with You Ceremony.

Crispy Weather?

Well normally, we aren't pushing 70 degree weather in the middle of October, but what do you expect with the bombing of the moon? I do LOVE the weather, not to mention saving money on my oil bill for heating up the house. So it all works out well (for now).

But needless to say, it IS October and that means it's delicious pie season. Pumpkin pie, apple pie, and of course sweet potato pie. yuuuum! I started making pies last week and have been getting calls, well actually texts with people asking when they should be getting their pies.

Yes, I'm known for my sweet potato pie. I always make a massive number of pies during the holidays and this year after many convo's with my friends and family persuading me into going outside of my "circle", so to say, and offer the opportunity to others to experience the goodness.

Hope you enjoy!
