My Favorite Chip Dip

See what happens when you watch food history shows, the other day Mr. was watching some channel and they were talking about chips and dip. Of course this came to mind and I craved it since!

My Dad used to make this dip, so this is where I got it from. It's not really even a recipe, it's just 2 things thrown together, easy!! It's just equal parts mixed together! Feel free to use the lite versions of ingredients too.

I HAVE to eat this with plain old Ruffles chips, nothing else (ok maybe sometimes Doritos). I love it and so do the kids (Mr. won't touch cottage cheese)!

Cottage Cheese & Sour Cream Dip
16 oz Cottage cheese
16 oz Sour cream (this time I used a sour cream with chives)

Combine together and serve with chips.

enjoy,

Review and Giveaway: Swanson Premium Chunk Chicken: Buffalo Chicken Dip

Get ready for game day with Swanson Premium Chunk Chicken! It makes for quick, easy and great recipes. I was sent some coupons and decided to try this great dip myself. It was really easy to put together and tasted great! Since I am not a fan of spicy, I was a little scared this would be hot. NOPE! With the blue cheese dressing and cream cheese in this, it cools it way down. It was great with the celery and crackers as a little snack.

Think about adding the recipe to your game day foods! Who could resist a hot cheesy buffalo chicken dip?

Panko-Crusted Fish Sticks with Herb Dipping Sauce

From Mommy I'm Hungry

Here's a great recipe for easy "fish sticks" that are actually real flaky fish pieces, not minced airy-empty fish sticks you could go and spend for an arm and a leg for! This is a simple basic recipe for the fish and the sauce is really great too. I used the samples from my Spice It Now review to season it.

Panko-Crusted Fish Sticks with Herb Dipping Sauce
Recipe adapted from Martha Stewart here.

3 large eggs, lightly beaten
coarse salt and ground pepper, to taste
2 cups panko
1 tablespoon lemon pepper
1 Cup Flour for dusting
1 pound Tilapia fillets, cut into wide strips (or other favorite white fish, thawed if frozen)

Sauce:
1/2 cup light mayonnaise
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (or ground mustard)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus lemon wedges for serving
2 teaspoons prepared white horseradish

Preheat oven to 475.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; set aside.
Place eggs in a wide shallow bowl; season with salt and pepper. In another bowl, add about flour, and in another bowl combine panko, lemon pepper. Dip tilapia into flour, then egg, shaking off excess, then into panko mixture, pressing to adhere. Place on prepared baking sheets.
Bake until lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes, rotating sheets from top to bottom halfway through.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, parsley, mustard, lemon juice, and horseradish; season with salt and pepper. Serve fish sticks with sauce and lemon wedges on the side.

My Contribution to the Super Bowl XLIII

You know, you can still get your tickets (cough)! Or you can just stay home, make some good food and watch from your comfy couch.

We're not huge sports fans (well the Mr. does watch Nascar -he does race at a circle track, you know how our local boy, Jimmie Johnson got started, anyways...). We will probably turn the game on to check it out, but we're not all gung-ho about it. Which means I won't be in the kitchen! But if you will be, here are some recipe ideas to check out!
