Thanksgiving is one of my favorite 💫 holidays because it completely revolves around family, friends, and of course, food 🍗! There’s always that one cousin that dresses up just to stand around the kitchen 💃🏻, and another one sneaking bites before dinner’s ready. But if you’re the one making it all happen by rearranging dishes because nothing else fits in the oven, I GOT YOU 🙌!

Give everyone something to nibble on before dinner – and keep them out of the kitchen while you handle the finishing touches 😅. There’s warm brie topped with fig jam and hazelnuts, bacon wrapped dates, and boards you can set out with fresh baguettes 🥖. The best part? Many of these can be made the day before 🙌.
