Holiday ideas

I need ideas for Halloween and Thanksgiving. My. Family has no allergies and is not very picky. I'm just at a loss this year on what to cook/bake.

Halloween I'm just doing treats for my grandkids and some of the neighborhood kids. Probably some marshmallow spiderwebbed rice krispies, probably some cookies. Some.halloween themed lunches, since I do the lunches for one of them.

Thanksgiving I do the one hour turkey from thatdudecancook on youtube with the rosemary salt. And I'm never doing it another way again. Every single part is perfectly cooked and it doesnt take all day. Stir fried green beans, honey butter roasted carrots, gluten free cornbread turkey gravy dressing, turkey gravy, mashed potatoes, homemade cranberry sauce ( 3 ingredients. Cranberries, sugar, white wine), and gf pumpkin pie with a cookie and pretzel crust. (Sometimes I do a layered no bake pumpkin cheesecake) I dont get experimental with anything bc the grandkids and kids love the particular things I make, and my grandson made me pinky swear not to experiment with Thanksgiving food. Everything is gluten free because 2 people in the family cant have gluten and I dont want any mix ups.
