Almost there- midway through February. While the winter weather still hasn’t broken (we are getting warnings about water lines to homes freezing in the area!- due to extended cold), we can have some hot cocoa to warm ourselves up in the meantime. But perhaps we can do a little better– or a lot better than Brand X Powdery Cocoa mix, and make it ourselves! It’s easy to put little twists on cocoa to make it unique- mint, marshmallows, caramel, spice… and so on!

Game Day! (Chicken Wing Dip Recipe)
Football
If you are a football fan (or a commercials fan), you might be watching a certain game today. If you are having/going to a party, it’s not too late to make a tasty snack! While this one likely won’t win any health awards, we’ve made it several times. (We received the recipe from a friend.) It’s quick too: Chicken Wing Dip! While no actual chicken wings were used in the recipe, it has the flavor.
Chicken Wing Dip
1 cup ranch dressing (or blue cheese dressing)
1 cup Red Buffalo Wing sauce (any wing sauce of your choice will do)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 bricks softened cream cheese
2 cups shredded cooked chicken (chicken breasts work well)
Bag of sturdy chips/crackers for dip (we use pita chips)
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Set a pot of water to a roiling boil and boil chicken breasts for 20 minutes. Break apart so chicken is shredded.
Mix all ingredients and put in a 13×9 pan. Sprinkle extra cheddar cheese on top. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes or until bubbly. Use chips/crackers for dipping. Enjoy!
