I need your help in the kitchen!
By Tobi Schwartz-Cassell
As Thanksgiving draws near, I am once again in search of recipes. To be specific, vegetarian appetizer recipes.
There are two things I firmly believe in, in regard to the Thanksgiving kitchen:
- Most hosts need help and are happy when guests ask to bring something
- Most guests wouldn’t dream of coming to a Thanksgiving dinner (or any other dinner party) empty handed
My specialty is dessert. I love to bake. My second favorite recipes to make are side dishes. But where we will be enjoying Thanksgiving 2017 is at two of our BFFs’ home. We are so happy to be welcomed into their family celebration, that I will bring anything they ask. Even if that means appetizers.
And there’s one more step to this equation. I am vegetarian, so I need to be able to eat what I bring.
So, there you have it. I need your help. Please comment below with your idea(s) for vegetarian Thanksgiving appetizers. You’re short on time? Just give me the name of it and I’ll google it. Have some extra time? Give me the full-blown recipe! Simply comment below.
The Franks & Beans Family–Stan, Jardin, Molly, Kim, Linda and me–wishes you and your family a very Joyful Thanksgiving!

Hi Tobi. At this time of year I find the mini phyllo cups a great time-saver and you can be creative with fillings. Try a small cube of brie topped with a bit of cranberry sauce (or a fruit preserve) or sauté some diced veggies and fill the cups. They bake very quickly and are easy to transport and serve.
Jill, I love this idea! I would never think to do this, but the use of phyllo cups is a winning suggestion. Thank you!
If you bake vegan try this too

Wow! Thanks for this one, too, Shaina. I do not bake vegan, but that doesn’t mean I won’t!
I hope this comes through correctly and that you use Pinterest
I omit the onions but it’s a unique dish that captures the Thanksgiving theme.

Shaina, thank you for this. It did come through. And though I won’t be making it for Thanksgiving, I will most definitely be making it the next time my family comes to dinner. And I will be omitting the onions, too. 😉
Vegetable pizza. Biscuit crust. Cream cheese. Veggies. Some kind of seasoning.
Thank you, Pat. I’ve had that and it’s delicious. Never made it, but it sounds like fun. Do you think my BFFs’ family will enjoy it?
