Also, I like to have a good mix of quick to grab convenience foods and fast prep meals interwoven into my week. I have lots of recipes that are consistently in our diet, but I also like to try new recipes. Next week I will be trying a couple of new recipes that get pretty high ratings on other cooking sites.

Anyway, happy cooking everyone!

Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip

Well it is Super Bowl time and living in the Bay Area, the airports, traffic and transit have all been affected. My husband and I decided to hunker down at home and made a recipe that we actually were given by our 13 year old niece a few years back.

She was so ecstatic about her love for the dip and it is a play on Buffalo chicken wings. Something that both my husband and I love, so we gave it a shot a few years ago.

I mean what is not to like, chicken, cheese, cream cheese, ranch dressing, yum, yum yum! This has become a special occasion party dip and we get so excited about eating it that we always seem to dip a corn chip in it before I get a chance to take a picture of the finished product.

Not this time though. Gotcha!

Let me tell you, this dip lives up to the hype and it is super easy. Enjoy everyone.
