Sunday's Made Simple: Four 3-Ingredient Appetizers
Afternoon friends! How was your weekend? I flew in and out of Nashville for a social media speaking engagement with my partner for Oak St. Social. Whew! It was a whirlwind weekend but so much fun!
Today I am resurrecting my series for two reasons:
- I've been meaning to and I'm back in the kitchen
- It's Fall and what's better than cozy, comfort food?
I grabbed these recipes off of Buzzfeed and they could not be easier. Perfect for Sunday Football. I whipped these up on the eve of my husband's birthday and they were a hit. So easy! Who doesn't love cheese? Enjoy!
