baked brie or camembert with cranberries and mini toasts

pickle plate with pickled vegetables and cornichons and olives and stuff like that (pickles are a really good appetizer because they help you digest food better)

I love a good raw veggie plate with various dips and hummus or something like that.

happy thanksgiving!

i'm making a variation on this:

Pumpkin Hummus
1 tbsp tahini
2 tsp vegetable oil
3-4 tbsp water
1 tsp ground cumin
3/4 tsp salt, or to taste
1/4 tsp ground cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 (15-oz) can garbanzo beans
1 (15-oz) can pumpkin puree (scant 2 cups)
1 garlic clove, smashed

In a food processor, combine all ingredients and puree until very smooth. Add a bit of extra water if the mixture is too thick to blend. Makes about 2 cups.

my variation will mostly consist of using olive oil instead of vegetable oil and water, adding more tahini, more garlic, and some cinnamon/nutmeg/coriander. it's kinda hard to fuck up hummus, cuz you make it to your taste preference, there are no set rules.

I made miniature Brie tarts for the lasagn-off and everyone seemed to like them. They're really easy. Just buy some frozen, pre-made tart shells. Cut up some Brie and put a piece into each shell. Top with a walnut half and bake until cheese is melted and bubbly. I brought them already assmebled to the party and baked them there for about 5 minutes.

Everyone loves deviled eggs and they are easy to make:

Deviled Eggs Recipe

1 dozen eggs
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 Tbsp minced onion or shallot
a dash of garlic
1/4 teaspoon tabasco
Salt and pepper
Paprika

And my favorite is this:

Hot Artichoke Dip

2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup half and half cream
2/3 cup mayonnaise
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1 Tablespoon pimento pepper, chopped
1 (6 1/2 oz.) jar marinated artichoke hearts
1 (4 oz.) can diced green chilis
Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or bread.
