appetizers

Appetizers are my favorite. From cheesy dips and homemade egg rolls to bacon wrapped smokies and deviled strawberries. This category could easily be re-named football food. But don't worry, there's plenty to love even if you aren't a Cincinnati Bengals fan like me.

Cold or hot, baked in the oven or air fried, both sweet and savory. I love a good appetizer situation for dinner. Some of my all-time favorites include Bacon Tomato Artichoke Dip, Meatloaf Sliders and my reader-favorite Pizza Dip.
