Recently all talk has been about Thanksgiving, who’s hosting, what’s being served and if anyone has any new ideas to share. I came across this vintage recipe, that is a perfect appetizer for your holiday feast; easy, light and crunchy, a real crowd pleaser. I am going to have my daughters do a dry run this weekend, to see if they make the cut. I will keep you posted!!
