Hello and welcome back!
This year is the first time for me to start Christmas preparations this early. And I have to say – I am loving it! I used to try and hold off until the day after Thanksgiving, but then everything just felt so hectic. Tree – decorations – gifts – Christmas activities – all became one busy month of rushing through the best season of the year. This year I am considering Thanksgiving a part of Christmas season and with that in mind, I embraced the holly-jolly everything and decorated our house last week. I also ordered our very first set of Christmas cards! Seeing as I am moving through the Christmas to-do list rather swiftly, it is a perfect time to step back and enjoy the fast approaching Thanksgiving and all that it means.

I had made a version of this appetizer a few years ago for Thanksgiving at my husband’s parents’ house. They are wonderful hosts and do an amazing job cooking and hosting. I was happy that they enjoyed this appetizer. This recipe is a slightly different version of what I had taken to their house: it’s served on a toasted baguette, instead of puff pastry. (If you do prefer it to be in a tiny phyllo cup, those are readily available in most supermarket’s freezer sections.
