Caprese Wreath and Keto-Friendly Appetizer

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about splurging on the cals during the holidays…. but every so often I like to offer healthier appetizers for my guests as well.

I made these for my family last week while we took Eden to the Nutcracker. By the time we returned, they were almost gone! I also made my Devils on Horseback, an appetizer that my dad constantly requests.

Trust me… these apps won’t last at your upcoming holiday gathering!
