Keto Spinach Dip is Appetizer Perfection!

As long as I can remember, I have been obsessed with appetizers. They are always so flavor-packed that I often prefer them to main courses.

In the past, when we would eat out, I would often try to talk the family into forgoing entrees and ordering a lot of appetizers instead.

Of course, this is a bit of a challenge now that I am on a low carb diet since most of the time, appetizers involve lots of carbs.

These days, I am enjoying appetizers at home. I love the cheesy goodness of this Low Carb Spinach Dip, and I think you will too!
