Everyone shows up hungry, and dinner is never on time. Put out a snack and nobody notices. My Traeger Smoked Cream Cheese is the one I'd make first. Smoke a block of cream cheese on the pellet grill and set it out with crackers.

It's one of the most-visited recipes on the blog every Thanksgiving, so plenty of you are already making it.

Pick one or two appetizers, not five. You want people hungry when the turkey comes out.
