Blue Cheese Buffalo Wing Chicken Dip

Need something to make for your next get together watching a sport's event? This is the one you gotta make! This recipe was given to me by my leader:)
You can make it spicy by adding 2 recipe mixes of Epicure's Buffalo Wing Dip mix or make it mild. If you like strong taste of Blue Cheese add more of  Epicure's Blue Cheese Dip mix.
When I make it at home we do a 1 1/2 the Buffalo Wing Dip Mix and half the Blue Cheese dip mix.




These Bakers are AWESOME for dips! They can go in the oven or in the fridge. A full size baker fit's a recipe of any of our Epicure hot dip recipes or a Mini Baker fit's a half recipe of Epicure hot dips.



Blue Cheese Buffalo Wing Chicken Dip:

1-2 cooked chicken breast (You can use the Steamer for this!)
1 brick cream cheese
1 recipe "Epicure Wing Sauce" from package instructions of Buffalo Wings
1 prepared recipe of Epicure Blue Cheese Dip (following the recipe on jar with 3 TBSP with or without blue cheese added)
1 cup grated cheddar
Break apart cooked chicken.
Mix it all together and bake just like the Extra ordinary Cheese dip.

Honey Sesame Ginger Pork Tenderloin

I am sorry I don't have a picture of this one! But it sure is DELICIOUS! We had a group of friends over for supper the other night and I made a this pork tenderloin and it got gobbled right up! Actually this was a left over one from a two pack I had a while back that I had popped in the freezer with the marinade so all I had to do was thaw in the fridge and throw it in the oven for about 45 minutes.
When pork tenderloin is on sale stock up! Prepare some marinade and pop them in bags into the freezer so easy and makes a delicious meal.


Honey Sesame Ginger Pork Tenderloin:

1or2 Pork Tenderloin
1 recipe prepared Sesame Ginger dressing
2 tbsp Honey

Mix dressing and honey and throw it in a ziplock bag along with the tenderloin.
If you are wanting to use the tenderloin for the same day marinade for about 6 hours before baking. When baking do not pour the marinade on top, discard the leftover.



AND.....
I suggest this handy little tool for when you are mixing up your dressings and marinades! Get a few and prepare your dressings in advance so they are always on hand!
