Buffalo Chicken Dip

Happy New Year!  Now is the time to hang with family and friends - while you snack. 

This dip is a staple at our family events, so good and yet so easy.  Leftovers are good too, just heat them back up in the microwave and stir.

Buffalo Chicken Dip


1 8 oz package cream cheese
1 c Ranch Dressing
1 small can of chicken (or 1/2 c chopped chicken or turkey)
1/2 c (or to taste) Frank's Red Hot (Regular or Buffalo)
1/2 c shredded cheddar





Mix all the ingredients except the cheddar in a small sauce pan.  Melt while stirring and break up the chicken pieces.  Pour into a serving dish that can be baked, I usually use an 8x8 pyrex dish.  Cover with the shredded cheddar.  Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the dip is bubbling.


This dip is easy to double, no problems.  Just use a larger dish to bake it in.

NOTE: If you like blue cheese better, a friend of mine substitutes the Ranch for Blue Cheese dressing.  She also sautees some onions and celery chopped fine and adds extra blue cheese to the whole thing.  It is good, but I like mine better. Ha!

Serve with tortilla chips, fritos or crackers.  Get some before it disappears!

This dip is also perfect for Super Bowl parties.

Christmas Morning Traditions

My family used to always have pecan rolls every morning on Christmas...until the bakery closed.  Now my husband and I drink mimosas, open presents and make "something fun" for breakfast.  This year is it going to be the Raspberry Stuffed French Toast.  We have had a few of our customers mention that they want this to be a tradition for Christmas morning and to "please, please offer it".  That sounds like an endorsement to me, and I wanted to let you know that we are offering it through the Ventura store this year.  It is BACK!!

6 servings = $25.  It is a made for you item so you can pick it up from our freezer, even if you have already made or picked up your items.  It is also available through the online order form (though it was NOT available if you filled out your order during November in the store! because we weren't sure we were going to be offering it at the time.)

Start a new family tradition and try the Raspberry Stuffed French Toast!  See you soon
