I’ve been on a holiday kick lately with a few different Halloween related posts, here and here. Naturally, this morning I woke up thinking about Thanksgiving. I realized I haven’t done a top Thanksgiving appetizer recipes post so maybe I could find some cool ideas.

We don’t really do a huge Thanksgiving get together in my family but we still like to celebrate the holiday. This year it looks like we have a lot to be grateful for so I’m thinking about going all out and doing a Friendsgiving celebration.

Depending on how the situation looks in a few months it might be online, in which case I can share some of my favorite appetizers with my friends. We can each choose one to make, meet online, and celebrate together through video.

That’s right, I went and scoured Pinterest for some incredible looking and festive Thanksgiving appetizer recipes. Today I am sharing those with you.
