Thanksgiving is a time to celebrate everything we are grateful for! It’s always wonderful to get together with family and friends and gather around the table. Sweet and savory smells fill the house throughout the day as cooking in the kitchen takes place. I have always been a big fan of appetizers and enjoy setting out or bringing a “themed” hors d’oeuvre to the table! These “pumpkin pie” cheese and cracker bites are a super simple appetizer to make for Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving!
