Buffalo (Spicy) Chicken Dip

Since it's fall and football time, I thought I'd share this recipe I got from a good friend of mine. I can't take credit for it, but it's so good I have to share it.

Here is what you will need to do:

Boil 3-4 chicken breasts, then either cube or shred them

Place said chicken in a crock pot and combine the following:

Frank's Original Hot Sauce 23oz
2 packages cream cheese
1 cup ranch dressing or bleu cheese dressing

Stir every so often and allow to cook for about an hour to an hour and a half.

Grate sharp cheddar cheese over top and stir in just before serving.

Serve with your favorite tortilla chips.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

Ok, this recipe is super, super easy!

1 - Spice Cake Mix* (Duncan Hines is the best one I've found)
1- 15 oz Can of Pumpkin Puree
2 - Large Eggs
1/3 ish cup of water
half bag of mini semi sweet chocolate chips

Beat your eggs together seperate for about 30 -45 seconds, add in the water and beat another 30 - 45 seconds. Then add the cake mix and mix until smooth. Once your batter is smooth, add in pumpkin puree. Mix until evenly distributed. Hand mix in the chocolate chips. At that point, spoon into muffin tin, cupcake liners or mini-cupcakes for lunch time snacks.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.

I then frost mine with premade cream cheese frosting. It's super delish. We eat the big ones for breakfast. I made mini ones this time around for Libbi to take in her school lunch.

**If all you have is pumpkin pie mix, change your cake mix to either a yellow or white cake mix. That way you don't double up on the spices!**
