Snack time! Let's eat! Buffalo Chicken Dip.

I've made several delicious recipes lately, just am slacking on posting because my time has been slimmer than my hips. My husband travels a lot for his job and military service, so I'm a solo parent part time. It's summertime too, which means days full of pool time, river time, sprayground time, play time with friends, and pretty much whatever I have to do to keep the chirren' entertained. That leaves only a little time for ME. 

I have a few free (quiet) minutes this morning so I'm trying to play catch-up really fast!  I'll go ahead and say that while my hubby is gone, I have a much harder time sticking hard and fast to the RFL (Rapid Fat Loss) diet. On top of that, add in that special monthly gift from nature to women and you've got a dangerous combination for a woman. RFL quickly turns into eat-whatever-the-heck-you-want diet. Yeah, so I'm back to RFL today, and my digestive system is already thanking me for it. More on that later (yeah, I'm going to go there.)

Okay, so onto the yummies!  Let me take a minute to say that I LOVE my internet friends. Yes, I'm lame and have internet friends that I've never met in real life. I always say that I'd love to create an in-life community of some of these women, and then I'm sure I'd never leave the neighborhood. They are some amazing women! (Yes, you, Sandra, Krista, Christina, Sabrina, Gretchen, and a few more I'm sure I've forgotten.) Krista is doing the HCG diet, and I'll admit that I'm not incredibly familiar with what it is, but I do know that we have a lot of similarities in our diet, and she's always on top of what's cookin', so I replicate her recipes for what I can eat.  This first one is phenomenal! 

Buffalo Chicken Dip (low carb)

4 oz chicken breast, cooked and chopped or shredded

1 tbsp dijonnaise (I use a mix of dijon mustard and light mayo)

1 tbsp buffalo sauce

1/8 cup fat free shredded cheddar

Mix all of this together and nuke or bake until cheese is melty and dip is hot. Eat that junk up!  I eat it plain out of the bowl, but it would be great with celery sticks for dipping.  This makes two servings.

I love buffalo chicken dip. I love the cream cheese, full fat cheddar version. I love it with a huge french loaf cut into chunks and used to scoop up the creamy, greasy goodness. My arteries and waistline do not like it. This is a delicious, WAY lightened up version, and while you don't get the full on creaminess, you get the spicy, buffalo kick, and the texture of chicken. It actually feels good to eat it, because you can enjoy it without questioning any negative effect of each bite of the high fat/calorie stuff.

Here's hoping you have a great week!
