These are great appetizers to have anytime. They are also a very healthy snack. I thought the combination would be weird at first, but it was actually really good.

Potato Skins
I love potato skins. They are one of my favorite go to recipes for game days at home too. That are usually fairly easy, very filling, and super yummy. I mean who doesn't like them?!? Well one thing I do dislike is I feel like I waste so much of the potato when I do full potato skins. I also go through so many potatoes too. Well one day while flipping through Pinterest, I saw where people were using sliced potatoes instead of full potato skins. So I decided to try it out. Not only do you go through less potatoes, I actually like it much better. You don't have quite as much skin, but you still get some on the edges. You should give this a try if you love traditional ones!
Sausage and Cheese
Sausage and cheese seems like an easy enough recipe that a recipe really isn't necessary, right? Well it probably isn't, but this is one I have only made twice, and I love it. I was introduced to this about 4 or 5 years ago at a restaurant called Champy's. It is back in Muscle Shoals, AL, and my family all went there for dinner one night. We ordered a smoked sausage, cheese, and pickle plate. It was so good, my mom would recreate it on occasion for holiday gatherings or just as a snack. Huey's in Memphis also has a similar appetizer. It is just called a cheese and sausage plate there, but it contains similar items as Champy's...sausage, cheese, pickles, pepperoncini pepper, crackers, and dipping sauce. Well one weekend when we smoked ribs, we wanted a light lunch. We decided to make this as a snack that day. See how we made it below!
Quick and Easy Cheese Dip
Not long ago, we had hamburgers for dinner, and Brad wanted the shoe string french fries. I am not a huge fan of those, so I decided to come up with another side for me. We had some chips laying around, so I googled until I found an easy cheese dip recipe. I actually cut this recipe in half, and it was still too much. Mine wasn't as runny as theirs, but that was ok. Check out how I made it below!
