Thanksgiving Appetizers

My sister & I were talking about how we usually don't eat much the day of Thanksgiving - until we get to "the Thanksgiving" portion of the day.  If you're the same way you probably think the appetizers  (or antipasto at my Grandma's house) portion of the night is key since it might be one of the first things you're eating that day (besides all the tasting while cooking, of course).  These were some of my favorite simple, light appetizers from previous posts that I think would be great for Thanksgiving this year.

Simple Mushroom Crostini

My husband, Chris, loves mushrooms & my sister, Jennifer,  kind of likes them.

I think it's kind of funny since my sister who is mostly vegetarian has only recently warmed up to them (she hated them growing up) & still isn't a huge fan.  Chris on the other hand has just recently started being force fed enjoying veggies more than his meat laden twenties because "that's what's for dinner" lately at our house.

The irony makes me laugh in my head.  I guess mushrooms are a meatier veggie, maybe that's why carnivores like them more than vegetarians (food for thought…).

Nevertheless, I have always liked mushrooms & even if they're not top on your list I will guarantee you'll love these simple mushroom crostinis.
