Buffalo Hummus Dip

June 4, 2013 Nicole

I am in love with this recipe. I didn’t have any idea I would care a thing in the world for it but it’s so delicious. It’s spicy, tangy, creamy and simple the best. Not only is it good with chips but it’s also great on a wrap. It’s a great dip for a party or just for a simple snack. I can’t say it enough, but this is awesome!

3 cups canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed, 1/2 cup liquid reserved
3 cloves garlic
1/4 cup tahini

3 tablespoons Franks Red Hot Sauce (Add more to increase the heat)
Salt (as needed)

Directions:

Put the chickpeas, chickpea liquid, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, paprika, barbecue sauce, hot sauce, vinegar and salt in a food processor.

Cream Cheese Corn

May 31, 2013 Nicole

When I first tried this (right out of the pan) I wasn’t a big fan it really didn’t have any flavor to me. I decided to add a little garlic powder to it which seemed to do the trick. Once the red peppers and the garlic mixed in with the cream cheese it actually had a nice different flavor that was subtle but great.

This is not something I would make too often because of the calories in the cream cheese but it’s something that would make a nice side dish with any meal.

Ingredients:

1 pound of corn ( fresh or thawed)
½ tsp. garlic powder
1 Tablespoon of butter
3 oz of cream cheese ( low fat)
Red Pepper Flakes (as desired)
Salt/Pepper (as desired)

Directions:

In a medium saucepan combine corn, butter, pepers and cream cheese.
When it is heated through and cream cheese is melted season with salts and pepper.

Breaded Parmesan Ranch Chicken

May 30, 2013 Nicole

This recipe was delicious! We all absolutely loved it. In truth I could have eaten another piece that’s how good it was. I never had a clue that corn flakes could taste so good.

The only problem I had with this recipe was getting the breading to stay on. When I tried to turn over the chicken the breading on one side came off, then when I took it out of the pan the remaining breading came off. Ugh! That’s the best part. I truly loved this recipe. We all gobbled it down fast! Love it! I can’t wait to make it again. The next time I make this recipe I will try lining the pan with parchment paper.

Ingredients:

3-4 Boneless Chicken Breast
1 cup Corn Flakes (Crushed)
1 cup Shredded Parmesan
½ tbsp. garlic powder
3-5 tbsps. butter (melted)
1 packet of Ranch Dressing Mix

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350.
Place corn flakes in a zip bag and give me a few rolls with the rolling pin to break them up a bit.
Mix together Corn Flakes, Parmesan and Ranch packet.
Dip the chicken in the melted butter then in the corn flake mixture and place into baking dish.
Pour the remaining butter on top and bake for 35-50 minutes. I personally didn’t have any butter left over. The cooking time with vary depending on how thick your chicken is.
This should be cooked uncovered.

Mushroom Canapes

May 29, 2013 Nicole

I really wanted to love this recipe but I wasn’t a fan. At first the mixture tasted just like mayo, but once the onions softened up the mayo flavor turned into a nice onion flavor. All in all I didn’t find this recipe to be anything special. My family on the other hand really liked it and enjoyed having it with dinner. I suppose it’s just a personal choice.

I think this recipe has potential but it’s just finding a good combination of all the ingredients to make it work. Honestly I think it could have used a lot roasted garlic and leaving out the mushrooms. Honestly the mushrooms added nothing to the recipe.
