Appetizers are a theme today, maybe it’s because it’s New Year’s Eve, and maybe it’s me just putting off having to actually cook today.  Either way, here’s another appetizer recipe and a giveaway! Frito-Lay wants you to have some fun with your family and not bust your diet in doing so, so they’ve shared these great recipes that are lower in calories.
