Today I was writing out my menu for Thanksgiving and I got stuck on what kind of appetizer to make. So then it got me thinking about my Christmas menu and what appetizer i wanted then! Appetizers around my household are a big thing as it's the only thing we usually eat before the big meal on holidays. You know how it goes, snack light so you can stuff yourself silly with turkey and stuffing! If your lucky fit a small piece of pie in there. I've never cared for the too fancy salmon on a cracker, a mush of veggies on a piece of bread or some moldy cheese. I like simple and tasty! After all you don't want to spend all your time on an appetizer. You need to save your energy for all that turkey business! Here are a few simple snacks. Some you can even prepare days before hand, freeze and when your ready take them out and bake.
Cheese Pumpkins
Crescent Jalapeño Poppers
Caramelized Onion and Mushroom Tartlets
Fruit Gobbler
Traditional Southern Deviled Eggs

We are big on the appetizers too! Don't want to over-eat and not be able to enjoy all that Turkey!
ReplyDeleteThis year I think we will keep it simple...
We'll have a spinach dip (thanks in advance for that recipe by you), ham/onion tulips and of course a few stuffed mushrooms on a smaller scale than normal.
Have a great Thanksgiving! I look forward to seeing your post of the big day.
