Buffalo Dip

This is a great, simple recipe for a Superbowl Party, or just entertaining some guests (especially if you know they like something spicy). It tastes just like eating hot wings, without the mess. I unfortunately rarely measure, but this is a very close estimate of how I would usually make it.

2 cooked chicken breasts, cubed (or, a 10 oz. can of chicken, but I prefer to cook it)
1 - 8 oz. package of cream cheese
3/4 cup of ranch dressing (or more to taste)
1/2 cup of Frank's Buffalo Sauce (or more to taste)

Cook all of the ingredients together over the stove until all melted. Serve warm, with celery sticks, crackers, or tortilla chips.

Hot Spinach Dip

Here's a recipe for a lower fat version of everyone's favorite spinach dip. Great on breads, crackers, tortilla chips, or veggies. I like to spread it on bread and add chicken and roasted red peppers and eat it as a sandwich. Yum!

Hot Spinach Dip

10 oz frozen spinach, thawed and well drained

1 medium zucchini, grated

1/2 green bell pepper, diced fine

8 oz reduced fat cream cheese

2 tbsp plain nonfat yogurt

2 tbsp lowfat mayo

1/2-2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup grated pepperjack cheese

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp onion powder

1/4 tsp black pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients well. Spray an 8x8 baking pan with cooking spray. Spread the mixture into the pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until heated through. Enjoy!
