Buffalo Chicken Dip

My sister, Kylie, is the one who got me to first try Buffalo Chicken Dip. I must admit, I didn't like it at first...I think it was actually the canned chicken she used. Now I ONLY use chicken that I have cooked myself...maybe it's just me, but it tastes soooo much better. But it's up to you really...

The recipe I am posting is from a friend of mine at church, Kelly and she got it from a friend of hers at church. This is my favorite recipe for Buffalo Chicken Dip that I have found so far. Maybe it's because you keep it in the crock pot and it stays nice and warm that way....cold buffalo chicken dip....not so good! Enjoy!

This dip is soooo good! Totally addicting too! You CANNOT have just one cracker with dip on it, you will have to have maybe 10 or 20... Seriously, so yummy! Right up there on my list with my grandma's Cheese Ball! I love them both! I found this recipe on the Kraft Foods website and that is where the beautiful picture is from!! :)

Refrigerator Donuts

These are quick and easy and my kids love them! I usually make the sugar/cinnamon ones because we all like those the best! To punch the hole in mine, I use the lid from our vinegar bottle - it makes the perfect size hole! You can also save the cinnamon sugar to be used again! Enjoy!

Thank you and more to come!

This is an inexpensive meal that is so good! I actually make it without the garlic, so I don't know how it tastes with that. Without it, it is delicious!

Pork Chops Yum-Yum

2008-02-06T04:52:00.001-08:00

I LOVE this pork chop recipe! I could have eaten more if I had more, but everyone ate these up! So yummy! My only change would be to add a little more of the sauce - I think I will double it next time! I made 4 chops, though. I think this amount would be fine for just 2 chops.

1/4 cup chicken broth
1/8 cup honey
1/8 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon ketchup
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/8 teaspoon garlic salt

1. Brown chops on both sides.
2. Place in greased casserole dish.
3. Mix all remaining ingredients and pour over pork chops.
4. Bake, uncovered, at 350 for one hour.
