Buffalo Ranch Chicken Quesadillas Recipe
(Pin Pinterest)

A delicious twist on two favorites: hot wings and quesadillas that will bring a smile to every face around the table. Adjust the temperature by adding a little less hot sauce and a bit more ranch if you need to. This recipe is a great freezer item, make a double batch and you will have two meals ready to go in no more time than it takes for one. Using chicken, whole wheat tortillas and ranch from scratch makes it a tasty but healthier alternative to the traditional versions of these popular appetizers.

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground chicken
½ cup buffalo flavored hot sauce
¼ cup homemade ranch dressing
1 8 oz. bag shredded mozzarella cheese
1 Package of tortillas (I like to use whole wheat to up the healthy factor)

Prep:

Brown ground chicken in nonstick pan with a little oil until cooked through. Turn off burner, add buffalo sauce, and ranch. Stir until well combined. Set aside to cool.
Spread out tortillas. Spoon mixture evenly among all tortilla. This recipe will fill about 8 folded in half.
Top with shredded mozzarella and fold over in half to close.
If you are prepping to cook later in the week-place each prepared quesadilla in a freezer bag.

To cook:

In a nonstick pan over medium, heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil. Place tortillas in pan and cook on each side for 3-4 minutes until browned. If you want to make prepping easier and even healthier, lay filled, and folded quesadilla on a baking sheet sprayed with non-stick spray and place in an oven preheated to 400° for 3-4 minutes, flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until brown and crisped.

Use the same dressing, Homemade Greek Yogurt Ranch Dressing from night one, BLT Avocado Chop Salad. These go great with these quesadillas. If desired, drizzle tops with sauce and serve with celery sticks for dipping.

Hard Boiled Egg Snowman
Pin to Pinterest

Just because Christmas is over, doesn’t mean the baking needs to stop. In fact, if you are tired off all the sugar and stuff, try this fun Boiled Egg Snowman Kid’s Food Craft with the kids. They are great for parties, home, or even an afternoon activity for those hiding from the cold. Easy step-by-step tutorial is below.

Ingredients:

6 Boiled Jumbo Eggs
6 Boiled Medium Eggs
2 Carrots
Peppercorns
Pretzel Sticks
Green onion stems

Directions:

Slice off a small section from top and bottom of each egg to allow them to stand and stack neatly.
If you are going to serve soon, you can use pretzel sticks to join each piece and they will be completely edible. If they need to sit for a while, the prezels will become to soggy, so you will have to use wooden skewers.
Even if you are using pretzels, you will need to pierce the egg and carrot before pushing pretzels through.
Push a pretzel stick down into large egg to make body and place smaller egg on top.
Peel carrots.
Slice the thick end of carrot into six 1/8″ slices to use as hat brims.
Slice middle of carrot (or smaller carrot) into six 3/4-1″ slices for top of hat.
Use skewer to “pre-drill” hole in carrots to allow pretzel to connect them with remainder of stick extendeding below brim.
Push assembled hat down onto head.
Take the small end of a carrot (about 1/2″) and cut lenghtwise into six sections to use as noses.
Using a toothpick, pierce “face” egg in the middle and insert the nose.
Pierce for the two eyes and four spots to make a mouth and press in peppercorns.
Pierce the “body” egg three spots to make buttons and press in peppercorns.
Break a pretzel in half and insert a piece in each side of the body to make arms.
You can optionally use green onion stems to make a hat band and scarf.
Split the green tube and open it up.
Gently scrape the blade along the inside of the opened stem to remov stiffness.
Trim the softened piece to make scarf or hatband and wrap in place.
