Buffalo Chicken Dip

Are you gearing up for Superbowl Sunday?
This recipe is going to be your Game Day Superstar.
You know the snacks are just as important as the big game itself.
This dip is a must! 
 Husband approved, and it will be the hit of the party.
 Buffalo Chicken Dip.
The ultimate Superbowl snack food.
Cheesy, spicy and creamy.
The lineup.
{This is the very first recipe I have ever used
canned chicken.  I thought weird, gross, how will it
taste?  Turns out it tastes great and is so easy}
Cheddar cheese to sprinkle on top.
{if cutting calories you can skip this step}
Dump and mix.
{recipe to follow}
Ooey, gooey dipable goodness.
This recipe is fail-proof.
You will be lucky if you have any left.
Also great warmed up the next day.

Buffalo Chicken Dip
1 brick 8oz cream cheese softened
1/3 C blue cheese dressing
1/3 C ranch dressing
1/4 C Franks hotsauce
2 small 5 oz cans white chicken meat
{or one large one}
shredded cheddar cheese for topping

Combine first 6 in baking dish
and sprinkle cheese on top.
Bake 350 degrees 25-30 minutes.

Great served with tortilla chips
or even better serve with fritos scoopables.

This recipe can be altered to your taste.
Like it spicier?
Kick it up a notch with more, or less hot sauce.
Taste it as you are mixing, you can add more of
anything you like.  Cater it to your likings.
You can also add more cream cheese for a thicker dip.

Happy snacking!

Jello Popcorn.
We love the versatility of being able to make this popcorn
in any color, or even combination of colors.
For holidays, colored to match a birthday party,
or even your favorite team's colors. 
 We chose Strawberry Jello for Valentines Day.
There are oh so many ways to serve it.
 Air popper to pop your popcorn.
Or you can also use natural microwave popcorn.
Just do not use butter flavored popcorn.
 {recipe to follow}
You will only need a few ingredients to turn
plain boring air popped popcorn
into ooey gooey flavorful popcorn.


  We sprayed our cookie sheet with cooking spray,
but we think parchment paper would work so much better.
Less sticking.


 Don't you agree serving anything in a mini martini glass
is Just Plane Cute.

2/3 to 1 cup popping corn
{this will make a couple cups when popped}
1/2 C light Karo Syrup
1 C sugar
1 small box Jello
{any flavor, 3 oz}
2 Tbs butter
Sea salt, optional

Pop your popcorn and place in a large bowl.
On stove top melt Karo Syrup, sugar, Jello and butter together
in a sauce pan.  Make sure it is all dissolved and bubbly.
You want it to look smooth and shiny.
Pour over popcorn and quickly stir around
to coat the popcorn.
You may want to do in batches.
Lay on a cookie sheet either sprayed with cooking spray
or lined with parchment paper.
Bake 5 minutes in a 350 degree oven.

We highly recommend removing from your pan as soon as the 
popcorn starts to cool.  If your pan is not parchment lined,
like our's was not, you will have to scrape that pan for an eternity
to get it off.  It hardens fast and is super sticky.

This is not your peanuts and pretzels folks,
hope you make something Just Plane Yummy
like this.

Lemon Crinkle Cookies

After seeing a friend's Instgram who had made these
completely yummy lemon cookies we just had to
make them. They are soft, chewy and perfectly
"lemony" a sugary sweet lemon, just the perfect amount
of lemon not too overpowering.
Get ready for the ingredients....all 5 of them!
A lemon cake mix, 1/3 C vegetable oil, 2 eggs,
lemon extract and powdered sugar.
{recipe to follow}


 I sprinkled mine with more powdered sugar after baking.
It seemed to blend into the cookie while in the oven.
 
 Are you drooling yet?
Did we mention easy?  These babies can be whipped up in minutes.
Like the times you need to take dinner to a neighbor.

Lemon Crinkle Cookies

1 Lemon box cake mix
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp lemon extract
{use vanilla if don't have lemon}
2 eggs
powdered sugar to roll cookies in

Mix first 4 ingredients with mixer.
Roll into balls in the palm of your hand,
about 1 T scoop size.
Then roll ball in powdered sugar.

Drop onto cookie sprayed cooked sheet,
or parchment paper.
Bake 375 degrees for 9 minutes
No need to flatten then will do that while baking.

Enjoy!
