What's For Dinner??

Ok ladies and exhusbands, it's time for the recipe link up.
I'm sorry to report to you that I don't have a button.....life happens sometimes. So to participate, just include a link back to my blog in your post. And be sure you are following my blog! :)

I wanted to do a recipe for a meal that we eat often, but I haven't taken pictures of this meal and what's a blog post without pictures?!
So I'm going to tell you about the buffalo chicken dip that I made yesterday for our work potluck.
It is super yummy, really easy, but not healthy at all.
You have been warned.

What you will need:
2 (10 oz) cans of chicken
2 (8 oz) pkgs of cream cheese {I used the 1/3 less fat kind, don't use fat free, I've been told it doesn't melt well}
3/4 cups hot sauce
1 cup ranch dressing
2 cups mild cheddar cheese

Directions:
Drain chicken and put in medium sauce pan.
Add hot sauce and cook until heated throughout.
Add cream cheese and stir until blended.

Add ranch dressing.
Add 1&1/2 cups cheese and stir until blended.

Pour dip in crock pot and sprinkle remaining cheese on top.

Now dunk those chips and stuff your face.
If you take this dip to work, be sure to slap a sticky note on the crockpot to warn the old folks that it's hot.

And if you resist eating it all day, then the following may or may not happen on the way home from work. {Don't judge me. It was only a taste!}

Wash out empty crockpot and repeat.

Yum!

Now that you have your appetizer recipe with pictures, let me write out a good one that I have no pictures for. I can't remember where I found this recipe, but I altered it a little by adding chicken because my man has to have meat.

Pasta Bake

You will need:
1 box penne pasta
1 (15 oz) jar Alfredo sauce
1 (24 oz) jar Marinara sauce
2 cups shredded cheese
1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
2 cans chicken

Cook pasta according to directions and drain.
Mix sauces together in a large bowl.
Add mozz cheese to sauces, stir and combine.
Add pasta.
Add drained chicken and toss.

Add mix to a baking dish and cook for 20-25 minutes on 350 degrees. Remove from oven, sprinkle parm cheese on top, and put back in oven for another 5 minutes.

Serve with garlic bread so that it's good and fattening.
And there you got, dinner's ready!!!

I can't wait to read everyone's recipes today...hopefully at least a few of you link up. We can all use new ideas for the dreaded question:
What's for dinner, Mom?!
