Cheese Fondue Dip

Cheese Fondue Dip

One of my favorite snacks is anything paired with this warm cheese fondue dip. It’s a delicious side for a charcuterie board filled with dried meat or even roasted potatoes. A common way this dip is served at Kathey Jo’s Kitchen is with cut up raw vegetables and bite sized French bread. Trust me, if you’ve never had this dip, you definitely need to try it!

Cheddar and Bean Dip

One of my favorite appetizers from Mexican restaurants is the cheesy bean dip that is brought out with the homemade tortilla chips.
