Recipe-Buffalo Chicken Dip

I'm sure everyone has either heard or has already had this amazeballs recipe, & if you haven't go make it right now! I will be making this as an appetizer for Thanksgiving!

What You'll Need-

Two 10 ounce cans chunk chicken (I use Tyson)

Two 8 ounce packages cream cheese

1 cup ranch dressing

3/4 cup hot sauce


Directions-

Heat chicken and hot sauce in a skillet over medium heat, until heated through. Stir in cream cheese and ranch dressing. Cook, stirring until well blended and warm. Mix in half of the shredded cheese, and transfer the mixture to a slow cooker.( I do not transfer to a slow cooker, I just transfer to a serving bowl & it's good to go. If it needs to be heated I heat in the microwave.) Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top, cover, and cook on Low setting until hot and bubbly. Serve with celery sticks and crackers. I serve this will the King Hawaiian bread and it's delish!!

Oh & if you seen my previous post on the Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecake & wrote down the recipe please go back to that post and write down unflavored gelatin, you will need this for the pumpkin mixture I somehow forget it, I'm sorry!


 Happy Day Before Thanksgiving Ladies!! :)

Blog Makeover!

I've been pretty quiet around here lately, for a good reason! My blog got a make over!! I originally thought I could design it myself, but I'll be honest I'm pretty dumb when it comes to designing a blog haha.
That's where Stephanie comes in!!
I had originally seen Stephanie's amazing work on Holly's blog. I had fallen in love with the design she created for her & knew I had to have her design one for me! I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Stephanie! She is super sweet & so easy to talk to. She listened to everything I wanted in my design & created something even better than I had imagined!
If you are looking for a new look, I highly recommend Stephanie! You will not be disappointed, I promise! Head on over to her site & check out her amazing work!
& A little shout out to Stephanie! I'm in love with the design, thank you so so much!! :)
