Cobb Salad with Homemade Ranch Dressing Recipe

Don’t you find it so absolutely easy to fall into a salad rut? Especially if it’s something you have basically every day for lunch. How many times can you have chicken + lettuce + some kind of veg? Too many! So, I’m working in these cobb salads to help shake things up a bit. Plus, homemade ranch dressing doesn’t hurt either.

It’s all about the toppings with a good salad, isn’t it? For these, I just went with tomatoes, bacon, gorgonzola, hard boiled eggs, marinated grilled chicken and Trader Joe’s chili corn salsa (because I’m 100% obsessed with the stuff, but also because I forgot to buy an ear of corn). I’d also recommend throwing avocado slices on this guy, too!

Pomegranate Glazed Chicken Wings

I can’t tell you how many times I’m at the gym, or in the shower, or driving or shopping or see an ingredient at the market and come up with some random idea I scribble in a notebook or drop in the notepad on my phone. These are one of those ideas that kept coming up. Honestly, walked into these pomegranate glazed chicken wings not having a damn clue how I’d make them. But they worked and we loved them!

If you have about an hour, you can totally make these on a weeknight. Join me in the anti-grilled-chicken-and-broccoli-erryday-club, won’t you? Let’s really crank up the flavor for a weeknights. Let’s have something to look forward to during the week!

Buffalo Chicken Dip with Shredded Chicken

When I think of a big football game, I think of everything Buffalo flavored – am I alone here? Buffalo wings, buffalo chicken dip, sign me up! Each year since we’ve had our house, we’ve hosted a party for the Big Game and every year I can’t skip the Buffalo Chicken Dip! It basically tastes like football to me.

I really love spicy foods, and I love that you could really make this dip with any spice level you want! You can opt for a hotter-than-buffalo flavor, if you want, or swap in absolutely any flavor wing sauce you like. You could even make two, one for the spice-haters and one for the spice-lovers! I love that a buffalo chicken dip is also just way easier to eat than regular wings, but you get all the flavor. I like to serve up this dip with celery and tortilla chips – you could even add carrots (but I’m having a carrot sensitivity all of the sudden, so I left them out!).
