Dinner Party Diaries – Volume 2 Issue 3 – Small Bites and Creamy Cheesy Delights

I love many foods and many genres of food, so it should come as no surprise that the menu I would select for my birthday would be on the eclectic side.  These 10 Small Bites and Creamy Cheesy Delights are right up my alley.  While this might seem like a lot, I’ve got some of my easiest recipes included in here as well as some of my favorite “make ahead” ones.

I know that this menu is light on veggies, so if you’re feeling so inclined, you could always add in a Tossed Salad or my Broccoli Caesar Salad for some easy wins.  If not, just go ahead and dive in.  Of course, the idea here is that you could easily mix and match any subset of these recipes to suit your dinner party needs.  

For some grazing, we’ve got three appetizer options: 

  • Keto Almond Flour Corn Dog Bites
  • Keto Buffalo Chicken Puffs
  • Mediterranean Stuffed Mushrooms
  • Whipped Pesto with Veggie Dippers

I went fairly heavy on the creaminess and cheesiness for the entrées with my Keto Pizza Casserole and Easy Low Carb Lasagna.  

The sides are also on the more “graze-y” side of things with my Simple Caprese Salad and my Keto Garlic and Roasted Red Pepper Scones.  

Finally, there’s dessert.  Nothing particularly light in this bunch either.  I went for a bit of decadence with my Espresso Mousse, Keto Peanut Butter Cookie Cups, and Keto Cake Batter Dip (served with some Keto Cinnamon Chips if you’re not into just eating it with a spoon).  

Like I said, this is all my kind of menu.
