Buffalo Chicken Dip

January 30, 2015 By Jackie Fo Leave a Comment

What’s a Superbowl Party without a dip? The answer is nothing. If you walk into a Super Bowl party this weekend and don’t see a dip on the table, you have the right, frankly the OBLIGATION, to walk right out that door. Blasphemy I tell you.
So, clearly I feel strongly about dips. Always have. There will be two kinds of dips at my Super Bowl party this weekend – one classic onion dip, and one Buffalo Chicken Dip. That’s where this blog post comes in, so sit back and start dreaming about blue cheese, hot sauce and more cheese.

My good friend’s mom Cathryn had the 411 on party planning before the Internet, Pinterest and Etsy ever thought about existing. When we were in high school, Cathryn would send my friend to school with holiday themed lunches – I’m talking Poland Spring bottles of green-tinted water for St. Patrick’s Day. She didn’t need Pinterest. She IS Pinterest. So, I’m honored to bring you her Super Bowl-worthy Buffalo Chicken Dip.

Cathryn’s Buffalo Chicken Dip 
Ingredients:
1 8oz package cream cheese
2 cups of cooked chicken, shredded (I use a rotisserie chicken)
1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
2 TBS butter, melted
1/2 cup blue cheese salad dressing
1/4 to 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Dash or 2 of hot sauce
Directions:
Cover the bottom of an 8×8 dish or pie plate with softened cream cheese.
In a bowl mix all of the other ingredients and add to dish.
Heat in 300* oven for 25-30 minutes.
Serve with chips of your choosing and dip until your little heart’s content.

So come on. Make Cathryn proud. Make your guests proud. Make YOURSELF proud and serve this dip on Sunday. At least if your team loses you’ll be a winner in the eyes of your party guests – Holla!

A skinny Tex-Mex Caviar that uses fresh and healthy ingredients and is pure perfection for Superbowl Sunday. Because let’s face it, deflated balls or not, the Superbowl is all about the food. Get my recipe from Homes.com HERE!

I’ll be back later this week with an equally delicious but slightly less healthy Superbowl recipe for those of you that want to indulge!

Easy Shamrock Garland

March 12, 2012 By Jackie Fo Leave a Comment

Hello and I hope everyone had a nice Monday. Well, an okay Monday… or maybe, just a Monday. Ugh…Monday.
With St. Patty’s Day coming up, I thought I’d share a super easy DIY project that would be fun for a St. Patty’s day celebration. To hear my general thoughts on St. Patrick’s Day, check out my post from 2 years ago where I miserably failed at making Irish Soda Bread (damn you caraway seeds) and had to give it a re-do. It’s a hoot, I must admit, and there is a great recipe for not-so-Irish Soda Bread that is awesome and has an utter lack of caraway seeds.
To make your easy-peasy Shamrock Garland, you’ll need foam shamrock shapes (found at Michaels), a hole punch and some string. Ta-da! That’s it – told you it was easy 🙂
Directions: Punch a hole on both sides of the shamrock and start stringing them along! Find a nice place to hang in your home, or over a dessert table if you’re having a party, and BAM – you’ve got yourself a one of a kind garland that cost literally $5 and 5 minutes of your time. Plus you can do it while drinking green beer and watching traditional Irish movies like…. are there any traditional Irish movies?
Maybe that scary one, Leprechaun, with a pre-Friends Jen Aniston.
Many of you have asked how my 5K went, since my last post was a slightly psychotic rant concerning my fears about running 3.1 miles. Wellllllllllllllllllll………….
That was me the morning of my race after I completed my goal of running the entire time 🙂 I was super pumped and I have to say I worried for zero reason (as is the case with most of my worries). The event was super charged with thousands of people, music blasting at 7:30 a.m., and in general, a fabulous way to start a Saturday morning. I’m signing up for another one in April – I might be hooked!
On the Debbie Downer side, I think the run in the 30 degree slightly windy weather gave me a cold/allergy attack so now I’m under the weather and can’t run without wheezing. It looks like I’ll be taking a few days off from pounding the pavement, which believe it or not makes me sad. Who am I?
Hope everyone has a happy week 🙂
