Better Bakery Cheese & Pepperoni Pizza Melts with a Garlic Butter Dipping Sauce

*Disclosure: This is a sponsored post from Better Bakery. I have been compensated however; all thoughts and opinions are my own! In our family my kids are more likely to eat something when there is a dipping sauce involved. I don’t think it is because the food they eat actually needs sauce to make it taste better but more of the fact that it is more fun to eat when you get to dip it! When I order pizza for our family my oldest son always wants some sort of sauce to dip his pizza or breadsticks in. So when …

Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Dip

by madeitateitlovediton October 29, 2015October 29, 2015Leave a Comment

I am a sucker for dips. If I am at a party or going to a party the first thing that I do is head straight for the dips. I fill my plate with dip and chips and then hit up everything else after that. This dip is also a slow cooker recipe which makes it even better in my opinion. My family and I enjoyed this on Sunday while my husband and boys watched football. But with upcoming holidays this would be the perfect unique dip recipe for any family gathering or holiday party. It is more unique then …

Crockpot Chili Con Queso

I have made my fair share of queso dips. I love try new ones with different types of cheese. I think queso dips should be easy. Except for the fact that 95% of the queso dips that I make are not easy. Until I made this one. It was my dad’s birthday dinner and my mom asked me to make queso for the meal. I looked through the 5 queso dip recipes that I have made recently. Then my mom gave me this recipe. It is a “dump recipe” and sometimes I feel like thats what simple recipes should be! …

One of my favorite things that I get to do as a food blogger is to work with brands and collaborate to make fun recipes. I love being able to experiment with new products that I have not yet tried before! Some times products work for my family and sometimes they do not. And I will have to admit when I do work with brands most of the time my 1st recipe that I create is not the recipe that I end up sharing with you all. I try a couple and share my favorite! Lots of experimenting, tweaking and …

Easy Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Tacos

Buffalo Sauce is my weakness. I love it so so much. Whenever I order wings or chicken strips anywhere I have to ask for an extra side of buffalo sauce. I am also pretty picky when it comes to the flavor of different buffalo sauces. I have tried quite the variety of different brands. I would have to say that franks is my favorite brand for buffalo sauce….for now that is! My little girl and my boys even love to just eat this chicken plain. I try not to make it too spicy so that the whole family can …
