  1. Some of these look so good. Since it’s always just the two of us, my husband and I, I don’t do appetizers but I might try some of these out during the year and make a main course of just apps.

  2. a whole new eating lifestyle at one’s fingertips; some outstanding recipes and ones I’ll have to try. I am known for trying one or two new ones.

    This is a great round up of Thanksgiving appetizer recipes. However, being a big meat lover, the recipes that caught my attention are the bacon wrapped asparagus (always a winner in my house), the bacon cheddar sausage balls and the ham and cheese roll ups. Yum.

  8. These all sound so amazing! I am always looking for new recipes to try, and I would really love to try out the Cranberry & Goat Cheese Crostini. Sounds so delicious!

  9. Kelly Hutchinson

    Now my mouth is watering and I want to eat so many of these! I think I would try the Cranberry & Goat Cheese Crostini first.

  10. We do a huge pre-dinner spread every year at Thanksgiving and have been looking to switch up the selections! So many of these recipes are sure to come in handy. Thanks!

    Those all look so good! I’m not hosting Thanksgiving this year, but we do it potluck style, so I’ll be bringing over nom noms. Some of them are going to come from this list!

  12. I am not hosting this year and it makes me a little sad. By not hosting, I mean I am going away and won’t be having Thanksgiving dinner this year.
