I know I am making Rotel Cheese Dip. I am not sure what else.

I am off to the store in a few hours to buy stuff to make for Alabama's kick off at 630!

I am thinking of making Hot Wings. I thought about Touchdown Taco Dip. Of course it will only be the three of us, so, I may have way too much food if I keepo going......
 
I would definately do the touch down taco dip as everyone probably already knows I LOVE THAT RECIPE...I like it in the oval bakers and then you put the sour cream in the decorator bottle with the weave tip and make it look like the stitching on a football. I did that and everyone thought that that was the coolest idea.
 
There is a buffalo chicken dip that is awesome!

shredded chicken (you can use the canned chicken)
ranch dressing
hot sauce

I don't know the amounts, and I can't find my recipe for you! Ugh!
Anyone know what I am talking about? I DON'T think it's a PC recipe...but you warm it in our stone!
 
Here it is!!

BTW~ I had it with regular crackers...not chicken flavored ones. Go with whatever kind sounds good to you...the chicken flavored ones don't sound good to me to go with this dip!
 
That sounds really good Kelly!

Kelly,

I am going to have to try that dip soon! It sounds great. For some reason I have been eating hot wings like crazy for the last few months.

I had already went to the store when I logged back on or I would have tried it today.

Now I have a head start on next weekend's game!!!

Go Big Red!!
