Come on, who doesn't like to sit around and pick corn out of their teeth on Labor Day?
Okay admittedly I don't do that but I always picture everyone else doing that.
In honor of your lounging around today, I am going to do a quick, food post of some of my not so healthy and healthy favorites that are picnic friendly.
We aren't doing much today because the hubs worked all weekend so this will be our first full day together. We wanted to cuddle up on this chilly day and just enjoy everyone.
Without further ado, here are some simple, yummy recipes for the day.
Karin's spicy buffalo chicken dip
1 lb organic chicken breasts shredded
1 bottle of ranch dressing (ah yea its the Southern girl in me)
1 bag of four cheese mexican shredded cheese
1/2 cup or to taste Pete's hot wing sauce
2 8 oz reduced fat cream cheese
1 bag of baked tortilla chips
Directions:
Shred the chicken and mix it with the above ingredients
Put in a 13 X 9 pan
Cook on 350 for about an hour
(I told you it was easy-healthy maybe not but oh so good)
