Buffalo Chicken Dip

Here is another simple, but yummy, appetizer recipe!

1 brick cream cheese
1/3 to 1/2 cup hot sauce (more if you want it super hot!)
1 cup ranch or blue cheese salad dressing
1 can chicken breast meat, drained
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Melt the first 4 ingredients over medium heat on stove. After 5-10 minutes, I add half of the cheddar cheese, then let that melt. Remove from stove, and put in a crock pot. I then add the remaining cheese for the top of the dip. The longer this cooks in the crockpot, the better! I serve this dip with tortilla chips. My in-laws just love this dip!

Appetizers: My Fav Guacomole

INGREDIENTS

2 avocados
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil (Extra virgin)

(I like to add a few tablespoons of salsa or diced fresh tomatoes too)

DIRECTIONS

Cut the avocados into halves. Remove the seeds, and scoop out the pulp into a small bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocado. Stir in lemon juice, onion, salt, and olive oil. Cover the bowl, and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.

The real trick to great guacamole is to use good avocados. Make sure your avocados are quite ripe and use the Haas variety when possible. Serve this dip with corn chips, or an array of fresh vegetables.

Original recipe yield: 2 cups
It takes about 5 minutes to make, and is ready in an hour or so.

Also, I have this recipe for Guac, but I haven't tried it yet. Those that have rave about it, so it will be at my next party. It looks about as easy a recipe as I've ever seen!

INGREDIENTS
4 (6 ounce) avocados, pitted peeled and mashed
1/2 teaspoon coarse garlic salt

DIRECTIONS
Stir together avocado and garlic salt until smooth and evenly combined. To keep guacamole from turning brown, leave one of the avocado pits in until ready to serve.

Makes about 2 cups, or 16 servings Ready when the ingredients are mixed!
