My Buffalo Chicken Dip

 With Super Bowl LII coming into town, I thought now would be the prefect time to share my own twist on a game day staple, buffalo chicken dip!

Ingredients:
  • 1 pound of shredded chicken breasts (or two 10 oz cans if you're looking for a major time saver)
  • 1 cup of chicken stock (for boiling chicken breasts)
  • 1 8oz package of cream cheese cut into cubes
  • 1 cup of hot sauce (I use Frank's RedHot sauce)
  • 1 cup of blue cheese dressing (I use Marzetti's)
  • 1 1/2  cups shredded cheddar cheese (I use sharp)
  • chips (or your preferred vessel for dipping) 
  • green onions (chopped) and blue cheese crumbles for garnish                                         
Cook your chicken in the stock. The stock helps lock in the flavor, but you can use water if you like. Cook the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165° F. The best way to boil chicken, is low and slow. Set your crock pot on low, and let simmer for 5-6 hours. If you don't have that kind of time, cook on high for 2-3 hours.

Once the chicken is fully cooked, set the chicken breasts on a cutting board for shredding. If you cooked the chicken on high, it may be a bit dry. To bring some moisture back into the chicken, reserve some of the cooking liquid to add, after it's shredded. I use two forks to shred the chicken, as it will be extremely hot. At this time, you'll want to dump out the stock from the crock pot and give it a quick wipe down.



Add the shredded chicken back into the crock pot (and cooking liquid, if reserved),
along with the hot sauce, cream cheese, and blue cheese dressing. Keep the crock pot on low for 1-2 hours, or until the cream cheese is completely melted. Last, you'll add the cheddar cheese, cook on low for an additional 20-30 minutes. You can leave the dip in the crock pot set on warm, or put it in a serving bowl and garnish. Enjoy with your favorite veggies, chips, and bread (celery is one of my favorite, but I didn't have any) and try not to eat the whole thing. Enjoy!

Winter Haircare Empties Review

*I do earn a small commission when you shop through the links in this post. That does not affect my opinion on these products, thank you for your support!* You know how we all have a thing , that's probably been our thing since we were little? Well, that thing has always been my hair. Probably hard for you to believe since I tend to focus on makeup, and don't even get me started on losing a good chunk of my hair after having Vela that never seemed to grow back the same. I was born with a full head of dark hair, no scalp in sight much like Vela. I've taken pride in my locks and do my best to keep it looking it's best. To say I'm picky when it comes to hair care products would be correct. Because my hair has changed soo much over the past few years, I've branched out into trying different products and brands in hopes to up my hair game. These empties are a mix of holy grails, new favorites, and thanks, but no thanks(s)! For reference, I have lots of hai...

Cut Crease for Hooded Eyes

I'll admit, I found eyeshadow to be intimidating ever since I've started playing around with makeup. It wasn't until Jaclyn Hill announced her eyeshadow palette collab with Morphe last spring, did I get excited about eyeshadow again. I bought the palette, along with her Morphe favorites brush set and I was determined to learn how to do good eye looks. I watch countless tutorials, read articles and even practiced with friends. I did get more comfortable with my blending ability, but my eye makeup never looked like the makeup gurus I see all over social media. It wasn't until I starting taking eye look photos of my own, did I realize the problem. I have hooded eyes, with tons of landscape above my brow bone. Whenever I wore eyeshadow, it'd look nice, but you could barely see it with my eyes open. Whenever I felt adventurous and added color above my brow bone, I looked like Mimi from the Drew Carey Show. My eyeshadow was either very subtle or very bold, w...
