Notes

Deviled Eggs Top Tips

  • Instead of scooping out the yolk with a spoon (which can tear the egg) gently push from the back of the egg and pop the yolk out.
  • You can certainly mix the deviled egg filling with a spoon or whisk, but a hand mixer gives you a creamy fluffy texture that pipes beautifully.
  • Use a large gallon zip-top bag and large star tip to pipe the filling into the egg white shells, it looks gorgeous and professional.
  • Make-Ahead Tip: Boil the eggs, slice in half, and keep covered on a tray. Fill your ziptop bag with a piping tip, and have your tiny sage and thyme pieces and ready to go, then assemble in minutes right before your party.

Thanksgiving Appetizer Party Tips

  1. Use serving pieces you have, look high and low for the thing you have-trust me you have great pieces to use.
  2. Plan an area for all your appetizers. A nice long table, the dinner table, or a kitchen counter space all work great. Just plan for your number of guests, and space to walk around the table.
Use what you have to create different heights and to keep people moving around trying different appetizers. 
Try to set up a scene with levels, and place things up high, low, and spilling out of baskets.
