Friendsgiving Recap + Appetizer Ideas


Hi Reader!

I hosted Friendsgiving at my house Saturday, and it was such a fun start to the holiday week. I made my full ​Thanksgiving menu​, and my kitchen assistant made a few delicious desserts that everyone loved! I set the table up with all burgundy and gold tones and it was so cute. I got some questions to share some links for my tablescape, so you can find the full list of items here.

While I was pulling everything together, I kept thinking about easy appetizers that would help you get ahead for your own gatherings. These are the ones I trust year after year. They’re simple, reliable, and linked so you can jump right into prep:
