Thanksgiving is a special holiday that symbolizes a union of excellent food and quality time with loved ones. This Thanksgiving, the Silver Spurs Riding Club reflects on what they’re most thankful for, including these favorite recipes straight from the ladies of the Silver Spurs. On the blog, we’ll share a few of our Spurs’ members’ favorite Thanksgiving recipes to serve at your table this holiday season.

The following recipe was sent in by the Silver Spurs Rodeo’s Special Rodeo Chairperson, Sara Berlinsky. Before every great holiday dinner, there’s a need for a great holiday appetizer.
