Buffalo Chicken Dip

March is here! You know what that means? Tis the season for College Basketball...Rock Chalk Jayhawk! This Buffalo Chicken Dip will be perfect for your March Madness party. 

Warning: This creamy, buffalo goodness is addicting and I'd recommend whipping out your stretchy pants for consumption. Also, send all leftovers home with guests, or you may find yourself snacking on it before dinner, after dinner and for breakfast.

Chef Keck brought this to our Super Bowl Party, and let's just say the popular seats were directly around this vat of dip. It is perfect for a crowd...delicious and easy to whip together.

Pizza Hummus

I had my 12 Beers of Christmas taste testing this weekend, and on top of all of the unhealthy appetizers I was trying to brainstorm something a little more healthy for the spread. Veggies and hummus is always a good option, but I wanted to get a little bit creative with the type of hummus. I ended up getting inspired by some pasta sauce I had in the pantry and went with pizza hummus. Pizza and beer go together REALLY WELL!

Pumpkin Hummus

Hayley's pumpkin cupcakes inspired me to throw together a Gameday recipe that would also work for your Halloween parties this weekend. If you are trying to figure out something you can pull together quickly at the last minute this recipes is for you , it literally took me 5 minutes to make. This pumpkin hummus is not on the sweet side, it's definitely a savory appetizer or snack. Serve it with pita chips or veggies for dipping, or spread it on a sandwich.

2 tablespoons tahini
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cloves garlic

2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more for serving
2-3 tablespoons parsley
pita chips, for dipping 

Directions
Combine pumpkin puree, tahihi, lemon juice,garlic, olive oil, cayenne pepper, cumin, salt, and cinnamon in a food proccesor and process until smooth. Add parsley and process until well combined. Sprinkle with cinnamon for serving and enjoy!

Chili con Queso

Well nothing like following up a Broccoli and Cheese Soup post with another vat of cheese, please don't judge me. This week's Gameday post is Chili con Queso and it reminds me of my childhood, physical restraint could not stop me from devouring this stuff. I'm not exaggerating, I'm pretty sure my brothers tried to physically restrain me, but we won't get into issues from my childhood. I guarantee you that this easy Chili con Queso will be a hit at any party. I'm sure many of you have heard of the standard block of Velveeta and Rotel mixed together which is the base, but I would like to encourage you to mix it up. Add some diced green chilles, ground turkey (chicken or beef for that matter), chorizo, sausage, diced jalepenos, or sauteed onions. It's so easy, whip some up some for a football game or the World Series this weekend!
