Creamy Onion Dip Recipe + Buffalo Chicken Bites

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. I pinky promise. #MomsWingMan #CollectiveBias #FarmRichSnacks

Well now that Halloween has passed, the weeks are going to just start flying by with the holidays being here before we even know it. That means lots of Christmas parties, shopping, gift wrapping, baking, cooking, and anything else you can probably think of.

That’s why it’s important to have dinner ideas and meals on hand to feed your family even during the most hectic times. Don’t always run for takeout when your family can have a wholesome, feel-good meal at home.

You will be happy knowing too that you have tackled the day and just added dinner to that same list. When I’m looking for easy dinner solutions, I don’t always think to go straight for the frozen pizza and neither should you.

Farm Rich has a variety of meal solutions that I just love to have on hand. One of my favorites is the Buffalo Style Boneless Chicken Bites. This is also a great game day food that is simple to prepare as well.

Pair it with the Farm Rich Loaded Potato Skins and my creamy multipurpose dip recipe for a delicious dinner or snack that anyone would love.

This dip recipe is one that you can enjoy with chicken, top on loaded potato skins, eat with potato chips, etc. The good news too is that it takes less than a minute to make.

INGREDIENTS:

¼ cup Mayonnaise
¼ cup Sour cream
½ tsp Onion powder
½ tsp Garlic powder
½ tsp Black pepper
½ tsp Salt
½ tsp Dried parsley
Green onion, for garnish

Mix all ingredients together until well combined and garnish with green onion.

Serve with the Buffalo style boneless chicken bites for dipping or top off your loaded potato skins to take them over the top.

I can buy Farm Rich products at Kroger and know that my family will be happy. Especially because the chicken is all 100% real white meat. The loaded potato skins are also made from Idaho potatoes and 100% cheddar cheese.

Plus if you love saving money, Kroger has a Mega-Event going on Nov 5-18 when you buy 10, you save $5. The offer is valid 11/4/15 – 11/17/15 in most areas, please check your local circular for dates in your area. If Kroger is not your grocer, please go to MomsWingman.com to find your neighborhood retailer for specific ad dates and other featured products.

Don’t ever worry any more that you can’t have a delicious meal at night for your family even when things become hectic. Give yourself some “me time” by not standing over the stove all night preparing dinner but instead sitting in a hot bubble bath.

Check out your local Kroger and see what varieties of Farm Rich you find. Let me know in the comments below too what flavor is your favorite so I can pick up something new the next time I go grocery shopping.

Also if you have not already, please join me on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and Twitter. I would love to hear from you with any comments, suggestions, or ideas you may have.

Roasted Buffalo Wings with Sweet N’ Spicy Dry Rub

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #GameTimeClean #CollectiveBias

Fall means football which means tailgating!

Whether you are tailgating before the game, or “homegating” as I like to call it, delicious food is a must. You just can’t watch football without food. They are basically the same word.

Football + Food = Buffalo Wings

Buffalo wings are one of my most favorite foods to eat especially during football season which you can probably already tell from just the first few sentences of this post. Did I mention I love wings?

Okay but seriously, I have a delicious recipe to share with y’all today for roasted chicken wings. You can place them in the oven and basically just set a timer and forget about them until they’re done.

They are still crispy, but you don’t have to stand over hot oil the whole time flipping and watching them.

Plus if you are trying to be more health conscious, roasting the wings keeps you from using all that oil and frying them.

Now wings may be delicious, but they are equally just as messy! When me and Mark are eating buffalo wings, we have to have a paper towel that we know will work good and last.

That is why we depend on Viva® Vantage® paper towels to do the job. Make sure to stop by Walmart and stock up before your big game next weekend.

Let’s get those wings cooking…

Ingredients:

Chicken wings
Olive Oil
2 tbsp Brown Sugar
1/2 tbsp Paprika
1/2 tbsp Cayenne Pepper
1/2 tbsp Cumin
1/4 tbsp Garlic Powder
1/4 tbsp Black Pepper
1/4 tbsp Salt
Ranch or Blue Cheese Dressing
Hot sauce
Celery sticks

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with spray oil.

Coat the chicken wings in olive oil evenly by using a brush.

Whisk the brown sugar, paprika, cayenne pepper, cumin, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt together in a bowl.

Cover the chicken wings in the spice mixture.

Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes turning half way through.

Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.

For a buffalo style sauce, combine ranch dressing and hot sauce together in a bowl.

Now you just need to enjoy some good eatin’.

While you are enjoying your wings, be sure to keep Viva® Vantage® paper towels nearby to wipe your hands. We all know how messy wings can be which is why Viva® Vantage® is perfect to use.

I am loving these wings while I watch football. You can tell a few others would like to steal a wing right out of my hand.

They are soft like cloth but also strong so they clean those fingers right up, unless you prefer lickin’ your fingers.

After your belly is full, there is always the clean-up part that we usually dread having to even deal with. But I have good news today! Viva® Vantage® towels are stretchy and strong making clean-up a breeze. They don’t even rip or tear even when they’re wet.

I know that makes my life much easier which gives me more time to get back to watching the game.

Make sure to put chicken wings and Viva® Vantage® towels on your grocery list now so this weekend tailgating will be even more delicious.

Enjoy your football weekend with buffalo wings!

Let me know what tailgate food you like to enjoy in the comments below. Plus you can also get a coupon for $1 off any ONE Viva paper towel.

Time Out. Relax. Eat a SNICKERS®.

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. I promise. #EatASNICKERS #CollectiveBias

We all have experienced that afternoon slump where our bellies are full from lunch and we just want to veg out on the couch. I’m sure we have all fell victim to those afternoon naps.

Perhaps you are one of those that becomes “hangry” when you haven’t ate and are exhausted. I know I can be for sure. My Mom always teased me when I was younger because she could tell when I needed to eat.

I have the perfect solution for you now which is also a great idea to surprise your husband at work. I nice little surprise is never a bad thing to show that you are thinking of him. You may even want to make one for yourself too.

This mini “care package” is all centered around chocolate. One of my husband’s favorite candy bars is SNICKERS®. While I was shopping at Walmart, I knew just the perfect treat that was sure to please him. He loves the flavor of the roasted peanuts with the caramel. I couldn’t wait to surprise him. Just place one in your husband’s work bag or lunchbox and you are all set.

I typed a little note that was simple that read, “Time Out. Relax. Eat a SNICKERS®,” and attached it to the candy bar using bakers twine. Then all you need to do is pack it for him.

I also thought of placing it in a gift bag with a new pair of headphones so while he is enjoying his SNICKERS®, he can also relax by listening to his favorite music and taking a break from work.

If you were to give it to a fellow Mom or girlfriend, consider adding an eye mask so they can get a little shut eye for themselves.

After lunch I know I tend to need a little “pick me up”. In fact I took the SNICKERS® quiz to see who I am when I’m hangry. I am very surprised to see that I am a Princess. I think my husband would disagree when it comes to me getting hungry.

Take the quiz to find out what your personality is too.

Also be sure to check out other fun ways that you can enjoy your SNICKERS® HERE. Let me know in the comments below what you personality is once you take the quiz.

Also if you have not already, please join me on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and Twitter. I would love to hear from you with any comments, suggestions, or ideas you may have.

Caramel Apple Pecan Pie Cookies

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone I promise. #BakeInTheFun #Collective Bias

Football season has started and in full swing now. I actually do love watching football with my husband. This year is the first year that I also have a fantasy football team which makes watching football even more fun. After church on Sundays at our house consists of football and lots of it. So I thought we need a new and fun treat to enjoy while watching the game.

Plus keep reading for a fun giveaway for a KitchenAid mixer. I have one that is hot pink and absolutely love it. It would be perfect to use when baking these cookies.

That’s when the idea for this caramel apple pecan pie cookie came from. With football that means Fall too which leads to stores having special seasonal items. I was in Walmart and found these Pillsbury™ Moist Supreme® caramel apple cookie mix and Pillsbury™ Supreme Creamy® caramel apple frosting.

It seemed like the perfect idea to me for fall and football, but they were needing something extra to make them even more special. I also ran upon these M&M’s® Pecan Pie in the picture above and thought how unique. I had never even seen them before must less try them.

The creative juices are really flowing now at this point while I walk the aisles at Walmart. Thankfully no one can see inside my head, or they might have been freaked out just a little bit. But now to keep the apple flavor, I love using apple juice in baking recipes to make them more moist. So over to grab some Mott’s® apple juice. While I was there, I had to try the Snapple® apple single serve glass to drink while baking or even during the game. It just looks so tasty and really is.

Enter to win your KitchenAid mixer now so you can make baking this recipe even easier.

MARS Bake In The Fun Sweepstakes

Now let’s get to baking so you can relax and watch the big game this weekend.

Ingredients:

M&M’s® Pecan Pie
Pillsbury™ Moist Supreme® caramel apple cookie mix
Pillsbury™ Supreme Creamy® caramel apple frosting
Mott’s® apple juice
Granny smith apples- About 2-3 slices per cookie. Depends on the number of cookies you make.
Brown sugar
Butter
Crushed pecans

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Start by coring the apples and cutting out a small hole in the middle of each apple.

Place a spoonful of brown sugar in the middle of each apple and then top with a small slice of butter.

Place on a greased baking sheet and place in the oven to bake for about 30 minutes or until tender.

While the apples are baking, start preparing the cookie mix according to the box directions.

Crush some of the M&M’s® Pecan Pie in a plastic storage bag.

Fold the crushed pieces into the cookie mix.

Scoop the cookies onto a greased baking sheet and place the cookies in the oven to bake for about 8-10 minutes at 375 degrees.

While the cookies are cooling, you can prepare the brown sugar crumble that will go on top of the apples. Combine crushed pecans or M&M’s® Pecan Pie with Mott’s® apple juice and brown sugar. *I usually just add enough of each until I have the right consistency to be able to crumble it on top. It will also depend on how many cookies you are planning on baking.

Once the cookies have cooled, it is time for the fun part. Ice the cookies with the Pillsbury™ Supreme Creamy® caramel apple frosting. Place several apple slices on each cookie and top with the brown sugar crumble.

You now have the perfect combination of apple pie and pecan pie all mixed in one decadent dessert. Sit down, relax, and enjoy all the football you can this weekend! I enjoyed mine with the Snapple® apple single serve, and it was delicious.

{Ad} Smokin’ Buffalo Burger Topped with Jalapeno Potato Chips

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #BPPatties #CollectiveBias

Who loves spicy food with a kick? I know I do and so does my husband. Anything with Buffalo flavor is just divine in my opinion so why not take the spicy and bring it to a burger which happens to be another favorite in our house.

For some reason, burgers and grilling tend to be a “guy” thing. My husband loves to use the grill and is quite good at it that he has become known as the “Grill Master” in my house. I on the other hand not so much. I really don’t even know where to get started with it as sad as that sounds because he has always used the grill.

Now when I want to surprise him with dinner and need the grill, I don’t have to worry anymore. I discovered these Ball Park® Flame Grilled Patties at Publix in the frozen section. They don’t require any grilling and are ready right out of the microwave in about a minute. Plus they are already fully cooked with a flame-grilled taste.

I couldn’t believe that they actually tasted grilled and took no time to make. I knew he would love it and would think I actually grilled them.

To make this dinner even better, I wanted to make a Smokin’ Buffalo Burger that I knew he would love. Plus it’s different from just the same ordinary burger all the time.

Ingredients:

Ball Park® Flame Grilled Patties

Hamburger buns
Hot sauce
Ranch dressing
Lettuce
Tomato
Blue cheese or feta cheese crumbles
Jalapeno flavored potato chips

First start by heating your Ball Park® Patties in the microwave according the instructions on the bag.

Take it out and start assembling your burger. I spread ranch dressing on the buns and then topped the Ball Park® Patties with lettuce, tomato, hot sauce, and feta cheese crumbles.

Now for the best part that really takes this burger over the top is the jalapeno potato chips. Place a few on the top and then hear them crunch as you push the bun down. That is one of my favorite sounds. Weird right?

If your husband is needing a quick meal to take on the road then this burger is absolutely perfect. The fact that you can microwave it shortens the cook time tremendously. Wrap it up in some parchment paper and he has the perfect lunch to go.

Now that you have enjoyed a delicious burger, head over to enter a giveaway for a Publix gift card HERE and keep enjoying these Ball Park® Patties. It takes only a minute to cook them and about the same time to enter the giveaway. Best of luck!

Let me know what flavor of Ball Park® Patties you try as they come in different varieties and even chicken too. I would love to know in the comments below.

The Most Moist Blueberry Muffins Ever

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #SilkDairyFree #CollectiveBias

Now that school is back in session, some mornings can get hectic that it seems like you are barely running out of the door clothed not even giving a thought of anything for breakfast? Well your busy mornings are now taken care of with a delicious and moist blueberry muffin.

Bake a batch of these on Sunday night and enjoy them throughout the week. You can’t have an excuse anymore to not eat breakfast which is the most important meal of the day.

I have dealt with a nut allergy for many years which makes it hard for me to usually grab just any granola or breakfast bar. Many of them have nuts in them or have been made on equipment with nuts. These blueberry muffins are the perfect on-the-go breakfast solution for me because I know exactly what is going in them.

For those that are lactose intolerant or have to eat a gluten free diet, I completely understand how hard that can be to find foods that are still safe to eat. That’s why I was so excited when I saw that Silk now has a dairy-free yogurt that you can find at Walmart. They also have blueberry, strawberry, vanilla, peach mango, and even pineapple.

Because it’s gluten-free and low in saturated fat, I don’t feel so guilty enjoying myself to a delicious cup of yogurt. It is also free of cholesterol and any artificial flavors and colors. I couldn’t wait to use the yogurt as a substitute to cut back on the butter and oil in my muffin recipe.

I can’t wait to share my muffin recipe with y’all. But before I do, I want to mention one little disclaimer. This recipe is not using all gluten-free ingredients, but could easily be done if needed. I really do just love the moistness that the yogurt gives the muffins.

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup sugar
½ tsp salt
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
1 container of Silk Dairy-Free yogurt- I used blueberry but would also be delicious with other flavors depending on what fruit you choose.
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup blueberries

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a bowl sift the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda together.

Stir in the Silk Dairy-Free yogurt and oil until flour mixture is moistened.

Fold in blueberries.

Line muffin tins with cupcake liners or grease the muffin tins to keep the muffins from sticking. I also spray a little non-stick cooking spray inside the cupcake liners as well.

Fill the tins about ¾ full and bake for about 17-20 minutes.

I always check that their done by placing a toothpick in the middle of one and if it is dry then they are done.

Allow them to cool and then remove storing in an air tight container to keep them fresh.

Now your breakfast for the week is prepared and ready to go. No more worrying about running late and starving later. These delicious muffins have got you covered.

Let me know if you try the recipe in the comments below and what fruit is your favorite to add to muffins. Plus you can also check out other ways to use Silk Dairy-Free yogurt in your recipes HERE.

Gluten Free Pizza and Italian Inspired Salad with Homemade Dressing

Gluten Free Pizza + Italian Inspired Salad

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #GFreePizzaNight #CollectiveBias

If there is one thing I look forward to after a long work week, it would have to be having a Friday night pizza night followed by the viewing of several insanely good movies. There is something about preparing a meal for my family that requires little work but is still well-rounded that makes me happy. Plus it has something to do with cuddling up to my husband on the couch.

Because I love pizza so much and even frozen pizza, I was so excited when I came across the Freschetta Gluten Free Thin & Crispy Four Cheese Pizza at Publix.

I have been a food allergy sufferer for many years and have a sensitive stomach. Well I am not alone apparently. About 15 million other Americans suffer from food allergies too. I was surprised to find that 1 in 13 children are affected as well. Because so many are also noticing that they have problems after eating food with gluten, people are trying to eliminate it from their diet completely.

Well Freschetta’s gluten free pizza is certainly good news for all those people. It’s good to know you can still enjoy a pizza without missing out. Plus they even have the gluten free version in a single serve pizza that would be great to take to work for lunch.

My four cheese pizza was just begging me for more cheese because you can never get enough cheese. So I crumbled some feta cheese on top to make it a 5 cheese pizza.

I wanted to also be sure to get our veggies in somehow, so I made a delicious Italian inspired salad with a homemade dressing. It was such a big hit and was even delicious the next day for lunch with any leftovers.

Ingredients:

Lettuce of your choice- I used spinach and butter lettuce.
Banana peppers
Red onion diced
Croutons
Feta cheese crumbled
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
Little less than 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 Tbsp Lemon juice
3 Garlic cloves minced

Combine the lettuce, banana peppers, red onion, croutons, and feta cheese in a large bowl until well incorporated together. Set aside to make the dressing.

I use a dressing bottle that has a metal whisk in the middle to mix all my ingredients together. I love this thing. It works wonders because I can store it in the refrigerator and then remix it the next time I am having a salad.

Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic. Add salt and pepper to taste. Now all you need to do is pour it over the top of the salad, give it a good toss, and then sprinkle a little more salt and pepper on top.

Let the movie night and relaxation begin. Enjoy a little cuddle time, or maybe a lot.

Also, get a digital coupon HERE through September 6 for $1.50 off 2 Freschetta’s Gluten Free Pizzas.
