What's your Favorite??

I made a lower fat version of buffalo chicken dip today and portioned it out with veggies to take with me this week. The dip is soooooooooo good. I used to make the full fat version and eat way too much, the lower fat version tastes exactly the same, but I can only get about 4 tablespoons in and I'm stuffed, so it's about 150 calories snack.

Hi Alex,

I would love your recipe for the buffalo chicken dip!

Grab a ready made rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. They tell you to use 1 cup of meat... I use almost the entire chicken, shred or dice it up.

Add: 8 oz low fat or fat free cream cheese

1/4 to 1/2 cup franks hot sauce ( I like the franks wing hot sauce... Amount varies on your level of spicy. I do a lot!)

1 cup low fat shredded cheddar cheese.

Mix all in a bowl, put in casorole dish or oven safe dish. Bake on 400 degrees, about 15-20 minutes. Until all bubbly and slightly browned on top.

Scoop and enjoy!!!! Yum!!!!

Sounds delicious! Thanks!

This is BY FAR my favorite thing too. When I first made the dip (last week), I ate it for breakfast, lunch and dinner...no joke!!

Most of the time, I bring leftovers and 2-3 snacks. Snacks are usually an ounce of beef jerkey or a 1/2 ounce of pork rinds, a hard boiled egg or a light baby bel cheese. On the way home, I may have one of the snacks I didn't eat or 5-10 almonds & some celery or carrot sticks. If there aren't any leftovers (or I'm just tired of them) I'll weigh out 3 oz of deli (either roast beef, ham, corned beef or pastrami). Or I make 1-2 of my "reuben-roll ups" which are a slice of corned beef rolled around a 1/2 slice of 2% reduced fat cheese & a tsp of sauerkraut, zapped just long enough to soften the cheese, and dipped in some deli mustard (I'm from NY where using yellow mustard is a sin!). My favorite lunch is leftover salmon on salad (romaine, tomato, red cabbage, shredded carrot, sliced scallion) with 2 pieces of marinated mushrooms that have been chopped up and mixed in No need for salad dressing, just salt & pepper.

left overs - tomorrow I will bring low carb chicken parm and green beans. I like to bring yogurt - I can eat that fast and then walk on the treadmill over lunch and get some exercise in. I also bring 1/2 C cottage cheese and 1/2 C pineapple chunks mixed together.

I just tried Perdue's Short Cuts Carved Chicken Breast. They are roasted, seasoned, unbreaded strips in the refrigerated section in the store. They come in about 6 different flavors. I had the herb and lemon flavor -- very tasty even cold. I don't remember all the flavors, but there was a roasted flavor. The one drawback is that they're very high in sodium.

If I'm not eating leftovers from a previous dinner, I love pre-seasoned baked tofu squares by Nasoya. They're delicious, have great stats, and easy to take in my lunch box. Yum.
