Assorted Skewered Party Appetizers are quick and easy to make, can be made ahead of time, and are fun for entertaining.

Assorted Skewered Party Appetizers - a quick and easy appetizer that you can throw together in no time for guests this holiday season!

Are you ready for Thanksgiving? I hope so, but if you’re still looking for a last minute appetizer, try these Assorted Skewered Party Appetizers. These little bites will tide everyone over until the turkey is ready, and your guests will have fun trying the different combinations.

All you need are a few pantry items (hearts of palm, marinated artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, tuna) and cherry tomatoes. Mix up the combinations and have the kids and your guests help you skewer these – it’ll give them something to do while you’re busy getting your Thanksgiving feast ready.  And if you’re still looking for a few last minute appetizer ideas, check out the Prosciutto Wrapped Goat Cheese Stuffed Dates and Roasted Shrimp Cocktail I posted the last two days.

Here’s wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy the time with your family and friends. I’m taking a few days off from the blog to hang out with my family. All three of my boys are coming home from college for the weekend, so I am really looking forward to spending some good ‘ole quality time with them and catching up.

In the meanwhile, here are some recipe ideas for any Thanksgiving leftovers you might have. Click here for the full list.
