Supreme Pizza Dip

You guys.  It is SO COLD outside right now!  It is actually -12 but feels -28 with windchill! Whaaat?  Why do I live here?! 

We all know weather that can freeze your face in one position in like 4 seconds means staying in and blogging!  I feel like I am getting my groove back!  Welcome to all of my new subscribers here AND on  YouTube!  i am grateful for each of you and can't wait to share more of everything with you!

Soooo.....the Super Bowl is this weekend.  I knew I would be keeping this post short because my precious Eagles will not be playing in it this year.  I don't want to talk about it, I don't want to accept it, but I DO want Super Bowl food.  I  mean, I might as well take away something positive from the season right?  I am.  The food.

This dip is hands down, the best hot dip of life.  There are so many ways to make it your own and I hope that you do!  If you make it tag me on Facebook or Instagram with #imachefwannabe.

Here we go.  I hope your favorite team wins.  I love you even though your favorite team is not mine.  I am not bitter, but boy am I ticked! HA!

You will need:
8 oz cream cheese
1/4 cup sour cream
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup pizza sauce
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 lb  browned Italian sausage
1/2 cup mushrooms chopped
1/4 cup green bell pepper finely chopped
Pepperoni
Red Pepper Flakes Optional
Garlic and Parmesan Pretzel Crisps, crostini, bread sticks (options for dipping)

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.  Combine cream cheese, sour cream and parm.  Spread into the bottom of a deep dish pie pan or something similar.  After you spread it evenly, add on pizza sauce.  Next comes the mozz cheese!  Let it rain!  Add on the rest of your toppings, and bake for 25-30 minutes.  Your life is about to change!

Now, I did not add a measurement of pepperoni, but just use how much you want!  These toppings can be changed to anything you want or love on your pizza!  There is going to be no bad combination!  (unless you are a pineapple on pizza person)  Sorry I just can't accept it, eat it or feel comfortable with it! HA!

ENJOY this for the big game, or anytime.  You guys, it is SO good!

ENJOY!!

Cheesy Blushed Chicken

Happy Saturday!  We got a little more snow.  I don't care how much "little" it is, I don''t want anymore!  I want about 70 degrees and sunny.  Oh my gosh, THAT is what I want!

I hope this finds you all doing well.  Everyone eating well?  I hope so and I hope this recipe will have you eating even better in the very near future!

My husband has decided in the last few years, he doesn't love red sauce anymore.  Once in awhile, but not on the regular.  I, on the other hand, could eat it daily.  He loves a good blush sauce so I decided to go this direction and holy moly was it a hit!  He has asked for it twice in one week.  All that means is next time I make a double batch for lots of leftovers AND a freezer meal too!  This recipe will get you dinner on the table in about 20-30 minutes.  You can buy chicken cutlets (thin cuts) or just cut regular boneless skinless breasts in half width wise so you get 2 thin cutlets from each piece.  My recipe will call for 3-4 boneless chicken breasts, that is a full thickness as I cut my own.

Let's get to the recipe shall we??  I made a video on this recipe as well so I will link it.  Don't forget to hit SUBSCRIBE on my YouTube Channel!

You will need:

3-4 bonless skinless chicken breasts cut into 5-8 cutlets
Olive oil
slat and pepper
23 oz jar of pasta sauce or 3-4 cups of your own homemade
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh Basil or Parsley

In a high sided skillet drizzle soe olive oil and turn on heat.  When the skillet has heated up place your well salt and peppered chicken in and brown each side.  No need to cook all the way through at this point.  Brown up all sides of all pieces and remove from the pan.

Pour in your marinara, heavy cream, and grated parm.  Stir to combine.  Place chicken back into your sauce and cover.  Simmer for 10-15 minutes until chicken is completely cooked through.

Serve over a pasta or your choice or rice and don't forget to sprinkle with basil or parsley!

Enjoy this easy, DELISH meal on a weeknight or to enterain your friends!
