If you are trying to decide what to make for Thanksgiving this year and are looking for some new ideas, have a look at some of my favorite Thanksgiving appetizers and cocktails recipes from my blog.
In Colombia we don't celebrate Thanksgiving, but since I moved to the United States 25 years ago every year we celebrate it. I love this American tradition, because brings people together.
If you want to make a Thanksgiving dinner with a Latin twist all the recipes on this list are perfect for you. Today I am sharing some cocktails and appetizers to share with your guests when they arrive to your home and they are waiting for the meal to be served.
If you need more ideas for appetizers I posted my 12 Colombian appetizers and snacks you must try before.

Look at you on the ball with the holidays already. I'm sure glad somebody is! These are all very tempting but give me those meatballs and the white bean dip. Now! Thanks for sharing!

Great ideas, Erica!!! I love the humus so that a must do for me, and the meatball looks delicious with that dip.
Un saludo

I love appetizers, but have to exercise some restraint or I'll be stuck with 25 pounds of turkey! I could make a meal out of your starters.
Danielle

Top notch collection here, Erica. The bean and roasted pepper crostini really caught my eye.

If I can get a hold of some serrano ham! By all means, this is a fabulous appetizer; I also like the hummus, of course and the tortellini on skewers idea and the tuna dip and all the others, thanks!

Hi Erica. My husband is Colombian. His family lives here close to mine. I am bringing dessert to his mothers tonight. She typically makes flan, so I told her I would make the flan. I used your flan recipt and made a few modification. Mi invento es flan de calabaza! I stuck with all ingredients minus the 1 cup of whole milk. I used 1/2 cup of 100% calabaza pura, 1/4 tsp canela, 1/4 tsp ginger y 1/4 tsp of nutmeg. I followed your instructions listed. Ahorra los están en la nevera. Solamente quería competir ese con usted. Feliz Día de Acción de Gracias!

I grew up in Cali as a teen and my wife is Colombian from Bogotá. I love your site because I get so many great new ideas from it and it’s always my go-to refuge for finding classic traditional Colombian recipes that we all love. We decided to depart from U.S. Thanksgiving tradition this year and do various Colombian-style “Tapas” evening along with wines and spiced cider (and a nice fire in the fireplace). We think our family and friends will enjoy it.
