countdown to thanksgiving # 12- Thanksgiving take-home boxes...

don't you hate it when you go to families houses for the holidays & they ask you if you would like to take some leftovers home with you, just to say... "oh, i don't really have anything to put them in."  or they wait until after dessert & they wash out a Cool Whip container.  not at my house!!! (i only use real whipped cream:)  i featured these little beauties on my personal blog, but because they were about food & i promised thanksgiving tips... here is my #1 favorite holiday tip for packing leftovers!!!  for the full instructions go HERE.  but here is a brief summery... i think you'll get the idea!
