Todays post is dedicated to Sunday Game Day crowd pleasers! I, however, am not watching a game - so the good news is you can enjoy these dips with or without the games!!!
What you see here is 2 dips - buffalo chicken & jalapeno popper!!
I can only take credit for MAKING the dip, but here is where you can find the recipe I used. Jalapeno Popper Dip
The buffalo chicken dip, I never fully measure, I make to taste, so here is a great recipe that everyone loves - Buffalo Chicken Dip (I use the ranch dressing and blue cheese crumbles combo)
I know what you're thinking at this point, HOW IS THIS HEALTHY?!?!?
There are ways to enjoy these dips with a little less guilt. Use reduced fat or fat free products if the option is available with the specific ingredient. Be sure to read and compare your labels and make sure you are not eliminating fat but significantly increasing calories or sodium content. Also know your ingredient, some fats are good fats (for example, with the popper dip, try using a mayonaise made with olive oil).
Another great tip is to eat dips with veggies!! Grabbing the chips or crackers are easy and tempting. Both of these dips are amazing with celery (which is how I had it today!).
Dont forget, my last and final tip, PORTION CONTROL. Try and avoid sitting in front of the dip. Once its out of the oven, grab a plate and just grab a couple scoops! Once its on your plate and you load up with veggies, you will have enjoyed the dips and be full before you know it!!
Happy Sunday to you all. Cant wait to share more this week!
