Thanksgiving Round-Up: Real Food Appetizer & Drink Recipes

When it comes to discussing Thanksgiving food and drink, the main course and side dishes usually steal the show. However, most folks celebrate all day long and don't eat their big meal until afternoon or evening. You're certain to run into a few (or more) hungry bellies beforehand, but who wants to worry about snacks and beverages when you're multitasking ten other dishes? 

If you're hosting a Thanksgiving gathering or joining one as a guest, I've compiled a list of delicious real food drink and appetizer recipes you can use to keep everyone happy on Thanksgiving and the days after! (Who can resist leftovers!?) And if you'd like more fall inspired drink recipes, check out my real food drink recipes for autumn round-up. 

Cheers!
