Wine and cheese seems to be a staple among my group of friends during parties. It’s hard to go wrong and requires little to no preparation in advance.
Party after party though, I like to switch things up and surprise the guests. I also use this opportunity to sneak it healthier version of traditional favorites. However, great tasting slimmed down versions of cheese appetizers are hard to find. I just stumbled on this protein packed dip recipe from The Laughing Cow that I had to share with you. Double, triple or quadruple it for a crowd.
