Low Carb Pizza Bites
These are sort of pizza-flavored mini-quiches using pepperoni as the crust in a mini-muffin pan. They also can be made without the pepperoni. You can use small amounts of whatever pizza ingredients you like.
Four Red Pepper Dip
This dip combines sweet, piquant, smoky, and hot chile peppers. It can be low fat as well as low carb.

Chicken Wings with Spicy Peach Dipping Sauce
The chicken wings can be grilled or fried, and the sauce spicy and sweet at the same time.

This can be a spread, a dip, or even as sauce. You can make it with regular or low fat cream cheese.
Homemade Cheese Spread
Do you tend to collect dribs and drabs of cheese in your refrigerator? This is a great way to use it all up! I have suggestions for making it different every time.
Easy Bean Dip
This easy dip can be made super-low carb by using black soy beans, but many low carb diets include some other beans as well.
