Since it was Super Bowl Sunday, I decided to make a taco dip and wings.
I found the dip recipe on the Pinterest website. It led me to this site and I found an easy dip recipe - http://www.skinnytaste.com/2010/07/skinny-taco-dip.html
You will need: 8 oz less fat Philadelphia cream cheese, 8 oz reduced fat sour cream, 16 oz jar mild salsa, 1 packet taco seasoning, 2 cups iceberg lettuce (shredded), 2 large tomatoes (diced), 1 cup reduced fat shredded cheddar cheese and 2.25 oz black olives (I did not use olives) - I also did not use the low fat version for this recipe...so up to you what you want to do!
Then mix well with an electric mixer.
Spread on the bottom of a large shallow glass dish. Top with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and olives. I made half of what the recipe called for since there were only 2 of us. I served with scoops. It was easier to serve with a spoon!
Now I know I just made wings last week, but this week I tried a different recipe using the crockpot instead. I adapted the recipe from this site - http://southernfood.about.com/od/chickenwings/r/bl104c18.htm
Ingredients you will need include: 3 pounds chicken wings, salt and pepper to taste, 1.5 cups of bbq sauce, 1/4 cup honey, 2 teaspoons prepared mustard or spicy mustard and 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (I did not have this in the house so I did not use it for the recipe).
Combine the bbq sauce, honey and mustard and mix together well. Pour the sauce over the wings.
Let cook on high 2-2.5 hours or low for 4-5 hours. Enjoy!
I have one other recipe I'd like to share, but I do not have pictures for this recipe. In trying to be healthy, we have begun to eat tilapia and wanted to find different ways to make it in the oven. I found a recipe online that was delicious - http://www.jerseybites.com/2007/09/tilapia-with-salsa-sauce/
You will need 1/4 cup salsa, 2 tablespoons mayo, 1/4 cup shredded parmesan. Mix all ingredients and pour over the fish. Bake at 425 for 20-25 minutes. Be sure to check that the fish is cooked through. You can also use this mixture on chicken as well!
I hope everyone enjoyed my blog for football season. It was fun coming up with new/fun things to make each week.
On to the Yankees!
