Once Upon a Plate: Olive Penguins! The Famous “Crack Dip” I had heard of this dip about a thousand times – originally called Buffalo Chicken Dip, it’s been nicknamed “crack dip” because its supposedly quite addicting.

The Famous “Crack Dip”

I thought, “hmm, anything with that title must be good!” , and then I read the ingredient list – canned chicken, buffalo sauce, blue cheese, ranch dressing….? BLECH! I’m sorry but that does NOT sound like something I would want to put in my mouth. So I never made it. Buffalo Chicken Dip (AKA: Crack Dip) 8 ounce package of cream cheese, softened 1/4 cup ranch salad dressing 1/4 cup blue cheese salad dressing 1/2 cup buffalo sauce or buffalo style barbecue sauce 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (shredded mozzarella cheese can be substituted) 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. NOTE: Depending on your tastes and the ingredients on hand, you can use 1/2 cup ranch or blue cheese salad dressing rather than 1/4 cup of each. *I used sliced baguettes and celery for dipping…mmm, MMMM!

The Lovely Cupboard: 5 Layer Greek Dip

It's a great, healthy dip, but sometimes it needs to be dressed up for a night out on the town. (AKA: I need something to take to a party and usually have these ingredients at home already.) Enter, 5 layer Greek dip... Start with hummus. I've got a simple recipe for homemade hummus below. -Hummus (homemade or store bought) -red bell pepper -kalamata olives -cucumber -feta cheese -fresh dill. Homemade cheez-it crackers. Hot Artichoke and Spinach Dip. Everyone has a staple dish that they bring to get-togethers.

Hot Artichoke and Spinach Dip

This is my staple. This dip is so good that even stands up to John Beck’s refined palate. Seriously, I always make this when he comes over because I know he will at least eat THIS if I make it. My mom wanted to make this for a family get together and called me for the recipe. I called her after to ask if it turned out. She said, “It was really good, but I’ve never made a dip with 4 cups of mayo in it.” I said, “Uh mom, I told you 1/4 cup mayo.” Mom said in her sweet voice, “Oh…well, it was still really good!” Here’s your new staple thanks to Pampered Chef for the recipe.
