Happy first day of Winter! My favorite day of the year. Each day from now until June the days will get slowly longer. Ah…. I have hope.

Now that both kids are home our eating and cooking has changed. I don’t think my grocery budget doubles but rather triples when every one is home. We eat larger meals and with it being the Christmas season there is quite a bit of baking going on. We do eat appetizers for dinner once or twice a week because it is fun to eat things with your hands and dip. My kids have always loved foods you can dip.

Verdict: These are crispy but not soggy from oil. Usually we deep fry them but using the air fryer makes them crispy and not heavy. We added a bit of Parmesan over the top and used jarred pesto for dipping. If you have homemade pesto or marinara for dipping even better!
