Quick and Easy Buffalo Chicken Dip

 2 10 oz cans of chicken

1 cup Hellman's Mayonnaise 

1 cup shredded cheese (I used a Mexican blend)

1/2 onion diced

1 teaspoon lime juice (lemon will also work)

1/3 cup Frank's Hot Sauce (use your favorite)

1/4 cup ranch dressing (blue cheese if you'd rather.  Use what ever you normally dip your hot wings in)

Drain the chicken and break it up into shreds. 

Add all other ingredients, mix and pour into an oven safe dish you have sprayed with PAM.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. 

I cut the recipe in half and it works great for just two people.

FYI...Publix frequently has the chicken BOGO. 

I keep it I'm my pantry.  Works great for when I make chicken and dumplings and things like that.

Tortellini with Alfredo Sauce

 This is another one of my own creations.  It turned out so tasty I just had to share. 

1 pound Italian sausage 

2 10oz.  packs of Rana cheese lovers tortellini from the refrigerated section

8 oz cream cheese 

3/4 cup grated parmesean cheese 

1/2 cup milk

1 stick of butter 

Brown the Italian sausage.  Drain and set aside. 

Prepare the tortellini according to package directions.   Drain and set aside. 

In a sauce pan melt the butter over low heat.   Dice up the cream cheese and add to  butter.  Stir to blend as the butter and cream cheese melt.  Add the the Italian sausage and parmesean cheese and continue to stir until its smooth and well blended.  Carefully fold in to avoid breaking up the tortellini.  Ready to eat!
