Rachel’s Buffalo Chicken Dip

Who doesn’t CRAVE a hot creamy buffalo chicken dip?! My family certainly does!
Let’s dive in!
Our dip is completely packed with protein and made using “cleaner” ingredients to serve up a nutritious snack to those we love!

But don’t worry…they won’t even know that this homemade version is better for them, they’ll be too busy eating the dip!

This is SUCH a great party food to bring to your next get-together! You can prepare and mix everything up, then simply pop it in the oven right before serving.

And the leftovers scooped onto fresh vegetables make for an EXCELLENT snack idea the next day!

I think many people don’t give “healthier” foods a real chance with themselves and ESPECIALLY with their family at home.

We often simply ASSUME that our family, kids, teenagers, partners, spouses, etc. won’t like the “healthier stuff” so many don’t even give it a chance.

If you’re telling your family you’re on a “special diet” so you’ll be making different “diet food” – in my opinion, you’re setting yourself up to fail long-term AND you’re not doing your family any favors as far as their relationship with food goes either.

May I make a suggestion? Don’t tell them you’re making “diet food” instead say that you have a new recipe “that looks really good and that you’re excited to try” (see the difference?)

Husband/partner not on board? (I hear this one A LOT which is why I use the reference!) That’s FINE! Simply make clean recipes that they WILL like!

I have not met any person who TRULY wants to survive on processed foods.

Most people WILL enjoy a home-cooked dish as long as it’s something that typically appeals to them. Think of things they like then go in that direction with your meal planning.

NORMALIZE REAL FOOD in YOUR HOME (don’t put weird energy on it…your family can sense your weirdness if you’re making it out to be weird)

Be excited! Speak of deliciousness!

Don’t just assume your family won’t eat certain vegetables…most actually will when prepared nicely like this.
Try some new recipes here on the website and get excited about them!
Your family is paying more attention to YOUR attitude than you think!

🐄On occasion we do enjoy a creamy baked dish using real cream cheese at our house.
This might only happen a handful of times each year…but we sure do enjoy it!
My favorite brand of cream cheese is pasture-raised “Organic Valley.”

➡️ Question: Is rotisserie chicken healthy?

➡️ Answer: Well, compared with most drive thru foods…in my opinion, yes, but there are some important things to keep in mind when shopping for rotisserie chicken.

Many rotisserie chickens are injected with seasonings that contain sodium phosphate, modified food starches, potato dextrin, carrageenan, and sugars.

I highly suggest that you read the ingredient labels, and do some research if you’re concerned about preservatives in your diet.

Whole Foods grocery store offers an organic, hormone-free, and no added salt, rotisserie chicken that is wonderful.

🌶Oh yes… one more thing! If you’re purchasing All Natural Buffalo Style Sauce at the grocery store, check out those ingredients!

We want it to only contain the basics like; water, vinegar, and spices.

I use Tabasco Buffalo sauce because there are only 5 REAL ingredients in Tabasco.

Siete brand currently offers a good product as well.
