Spicy [Chicken] Tortilla Roll Ups

 I was really excited about this pin for Spicy Chicken Roll Ups found on this blog. I literally had pin-nesia and pinned it four different times because every time I saw it, I wanted to eat my screen. As the resident Vegetarian of our board, I knew I was going to have to make a few changes to the recipe.

The first time I made it, I subbed a can of drained black beans for the chicken. It made my wraps watery and they were difficult to roll up but they were still delicious. The second time I made them with refried beans and they were a thousand million times better! They rolled up nicely, they stuck together well, and they were like crack. I made them for a game night and every single roll up was gone by the end of the night. Even our non-vegetarian friends were obsessed with them. They are just the right kind of spicy. Not burn-your-mouth-hot, but completely flavorful. They are so easy to make, even my husband can do it!

Super Delicious Spicy Roll Ups
Verdict: Super Pintastic and a hit with everyone.

Copycat Chick-Fil-A Nuggets

So...all this Chick-Fil-A controversy lately has had me craving nuggets! I know my husband wouldn't appreciate me picking up fast food for dinner every day, so when I saw the copycat nugget recipe, you can bet I pinned it just as fast as my chubby little fingers would let me!

The original pin:

I am NOT good at frying things. At all. Which is a shame because I'm Southern. But thanks to the picture tutorial found in the blog linked to the pin, they turned out great! I did not make the dipping sauce, so I don't know how it tasted, but the nuggets were pretty spot on. 10/10 will cook again!

My attempt: Success!
Final Verdict: Pintastic!!

Cheddar Bacon Dip

This dip takes about 30 seconds to make and it always gets great reviews.



You need:

16oz sour cream
1 packet Ranch dressing mix
3oz bacon bits (use ones that come in a bag)
1 cup shredded cheddar

Mix all together and refrigerate. The actual recipe says to refrigerate for 24 hours but you don't really have to. We eat it within hours of making it. It's just better once it thickens up.

We also use cheddar potato chips because it makes the dip taste just like a baked potato. Any chip will do but make sure they have ridges because the dip gets pretty thick.

Texas Trash (Warm Bean Dip)


The discriminatory pin description notwithstanding (texas trash), this recipe was delicious. I actually did mine in a crockpot instead, since I brought it to a house party, and it worked fabulously. http://www.life-as-a-lofthouse.blogspot.ca/2012/02/warm-bean-dip.html
