Hi Reader,
Happy Weekend friend!
I think it’s cold everywhere and that includes here in Florida. They are even calling for snow (again). I know for sure, the panhandle and north Jacksonville will probably see snow. We’re up at our Georgia property. That’s where the snowy photo was taken above. It’s supposed to snow near here too so I’ll try to grab some pics.
Whether you watch football or not, I have some yummy appetizers coming at you today. They are great for game nights or anytime really.
My Hot Bacon Dip went viral last year. It’s the most simple and silliest dip that only has four ingredients but it makes such an impact in your mouth. It’s demanded that I bring it with me anytime I go somewhere haha.
My newest one is Slow-Cooker Hot Chicken Dip. It’s my take on the popular “buffalo chicken dip” but I think mine is yummier and much healthier. Try dipping these Sweet Potato Fries in the dip!
As much as I love my homemade hot cocoa I shared last week, this one is my go to, especially, if I’m traveling.
Hot Bacon Dip
This dip is what made me famous at my family gatherings. One year I brought it and it just disappeared. Ever since, I’ve been demanded to bring it to every gathering. Be famous at your parties too!
This dip is so creamy and has the perfect amount of Buffalo sauce. If you like it a little spicier, just add more sauce. Extra crunch, add bacon and chives.
TIP: If you have a small family or just want to make a smaller batch of this dip, just half my recipe. I also found this cute 3.5 qt slow-cooker (PFAS free/no chemicals) instead of pulling out my big 6 or 8 qt one. They have some pretty colors too. It fits great in our camper!
