Light, fluffy and stuffed with cheese, what more can you ask for in an appetizer? Bread and cheese might just be the world’s perfect match. These Cheesy Pull Apart Breads are so delicious; warm from the oven, dipped in pizza sauce with gooey cheese. They are so fun because you can form them into whatever shape you want. For football season make a football, Christmas make a tree or Halloween and make a pumpkin.

More cheesy must make appetizers: Ranch Cheese Ball, Turkey and Cheese Pull Apart Sliders and Cheesy Garlic Bread sticks.

My main goal is to bring families back to the kitchen table enjoying homemade meals. I don’t want it to feel overwhelming or like it has to be these extravagant meals that use every dish that you own.

Easy dinner recipes for the family: Sloppy Joe Pasta Casserole, Coconut Chicken, One Pot Chicken Parmesan and Creamy Ranch Chicken.

Tips

The easiest way to cut your cheese sticks is to use scissors. Be sure all your dough balls are touching before baking them. Also, you can draw the shape you want to make on the parchment paper before placing them on the parchment paper i.e. a football or tree.
