I basically have a one-track mind this year and it revolves around putting my favorite foods, family and friends in one place.
Thanksgiving is all about the cheese, right?! Or is it the turkey? You need some serious appetizers while waiting for that bird to finish cooking.
A beautiful party platter is exactly what you’ve been looking for. You put a little of this and little of that all in one place. Your guests can graze all they want and fill up on their favorites. Here’s the how-to from Weelicious:
