The holidays are coming! The holidays are coming!

That’s how I have been feeling this past week once I realized that Thanksgiving is just a few days away.  How does that happen?  When did my life become so busy that I didn’t even realize that?

It’s all good, though. I love the holidays and I am ecstatic that they are approaching.  I just wish time would slooooooooow down, just a bit.

So if you are like me and Thanksgiving totally snuck up on you, I bet you have no idea what you are making either.  These little bites are perfect for you because you can prepare them ahead of time. As most of you know I am all about simplifying (especially when I am a little stressed) so these apps are just what I needed to calm me down a bit.  Just a tiny bit.

The filling takes about 20 minutes to prepare and I just mixed it together in a bowl the night before and refrigerated it until I was ready to scoop in to the phyllo.

Side note: If you are lucky enough to get some of the filling left over, it makes a super delicious lunch.  It is incredible just the way it is, over a bed of green salad or in a wrap.  It’s phenomenal.
