Thanksgiving Sliders.

I ate three for breakfast.

Literally.

These bite size sandwiches make the most perfect appetizer or easy Friendsgiving dinner. They are also quite delicious if you use day after Thanksgiving leftovers! I used carved turkey, but you can get creative and also layer ham or stuffing inside the sweet Hawaiian rolls.

As for the Nakanko Knife that many of you have asked about, I now have a discount code for you! This knife is sharp, sexy, and made in my favorite country, Japan. They have so many beautiful collections online, and any of their knives would certainly make for an incredible Christmas gift. See below for the link and my 20% off discount code they gave me just for Thanksgiving. Scroll down for the recipe.
