March Madness is gearing up and I don't have a team in the running this year.

​

So for me, the next few days are all about enjoying snacks while my husband and son watch the games.

​

I decided to do something new this month and asked some of my foodie friends for their FAVORITE appetizer recipes to share with you.

​

And boy, did they deliver! I know that these easy, crowd-pleasing bites will keep you fueled through the buzzer.

​

🔥 Spicy & Cheesy Dips

• ​Baked Jalapeno Artichoke Dip from Molly – Creamy, cheesy, and just the right amount of heat! Perfect for dunking chips or bread.
• ​Jalapeno Popper Dip from Tammy – All the flavors of your favorite poppers, minus work of stuffing the jalapenos.

​

🥓 Handheld MVPs

• ​Crack Chicken Pinwheels with Bacon from Lori – Cream cheese, bacon, and ranch? These will disappear fast!
• ​Pulled Pork Sliders from me (had to sneak one in) – Topped with tangy slaw and barbecue sauce, these sliders are always a hit.

​

🌱 A Fresh Timeout

• ​Blood Orange Salad from Jennifer – Bright, citrusy, and refreshing—a perfect palate cleanser to all the cheesy, salty goodness.

​

🍟 Crispy Air-Fried Favorites

• ​Air Fryer Shishito Peppers from Kristen – Lightly blistered and sprinkled with flaky salt, they’re a simple yet addicting snack.
• ​Air Fried Cheese Curds from Ksenia – Gooey on the inside, crispy on the outside—Wisconsin-style game-day perfection!

​

Which one are you making first? Hit reply and let me know your go-to March Madness snack! 🏀🎉

​

Happy snacking,
Michelle
