What's For Dinner? Buffalo Chicken Salad

I don't know about you but I love hot wings and hot wings are just not healthy. I finally came up with my version of a healthy take on those delicious little devils and made a complete meal out of it. I use boneless skinless chicken breasts for this recipe and the wing sauce isn't full of butter. It is one of the best I have found that is actually healthy.

Buffalo Chicken Salad

3 Boneless skinless chicken breasts (rinsed and tenderized)

1 bottle Heritage Fare Buffalo Style Wing Sauce

1 16oz. Low fat cottage cheese (small curd)

1 packet ranch dressing mix

Your favorite Salad ingredients

(I kept mine simple with what I had on hand. Romain lettuce,tomatoes,green onions,carrots,mozzarella cheese, and cucumbers)

I used the grill for my chicken but I think it would be great cooked in a skillet too.


Use a small amount of wing sauce to cover the chicken breasts and let them marinate in it for about 30 minutes. Prepare your salad and refrigerate. For the dressing I love to use ranch with my wings but of course it isn't all that healthy either so here is my version.


In a blender or food processor add the cottage cheese and ranch mix. Add about 3 tbs. water and blend until smooth and creamy. Keep refrigerated.


Grill your chicken and then slice it into strips. Toss it in more of the wing sauce and plate it up.
This is so gooooood!


Note: The wing sauce is a bit hot so the more you add the hotter it will be.

Last Call~Stubb's Style BBQ Giveaway

If you haven't entered yet, today is the last call for entries into my Stubb's Style Giveaway.

Entry deadline is at midnight tonight. Good luck Y'all!

Whats for Dinner?

I love Summer time and all the good food that goes along with the season. Fresh vegetables from the garden, grilling, and fresh fruit desserts. My mouth waters just thinking about it. So from time to time I will be posting "What's for dinner", starting tonight.

A great light and healthy Summer time fare is what I choose for meals these days. Keeping it light and healthy during this hot season is my goal. Tonight we had grilled BBQ chicken breast "Stubb's Style" of course, grilled asparagus tossed in olive oil and sea salt, and a healthy squash casserole. Would you like my squash casserole recipe? Well here you go!

Healthy Squash Casserole

6 -7 crook neck squash

1/2 medium sweet onion-chopped

1/2 cup Olive Oil Mayonnaise

1 egg slightly beaten

1 cup Low fat Mozzarella

3 Tbs. I can't believe it's not butter spray

Pepper & Salt to taste

Wash and slice squash and place in a microwave safe dish with lid. Add a little water to the dish.Salt and pepper the squash generously. Microwave on high for 10 minutes or until tender.

In a large bowl, combine the chopped sweet onion, mayonnaise,egg,mozzarella,and butter spray. Blend well. Drain and add the squash and mix gently.

Using the same casserole dish, spray with non stick spray and add the squash mixture.

Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Turn on broiler and place under broiler until lightly browned on top.

***You can add a cracker crumb topping if you like. It just keeps it a little healthier without it.***

So tell me, What's for dinner at your house?

Summer BBQ Stubbs Style and Giveaway

Alright Y'all ! Just what you've been waiting for. My first review and giveaway and man it's a good one.

Have you ever heard of Stubb's BBQ? Well let me tell ya. Stubb's makes some of the best rubs, marinade and BBQ sauce around. I have had the privilege of trying the Moppin' sauce (not to be confused with barbecue sauce) and the flavor it adds to your grilled meats is simply mouth watering.

Stubb's words,"A zesty blend of vinegar and spices that sharpens up your favorite marinade or basting sauce.

Instructions: Use as a Bar-B-Q baste during the first ten minutes on the grill to add flavor and prevent dryness.

My words,"It will have your mouth screamin' for more!"

For those of you dieting or simply watching your weight, Stubb's products are perfect for you. They only use the finest all natural ingredients and are low in sugar and calories. Trust me here, they definitely did not compromise the flavor one bit.

A little bit on how C.B.Stubbfield feels about barbecue in his own words..."I found nowhere did they have the kind of barbecue I could cook. I guess [what was lacking] was spirit and love and happiness and smiles. When I smell barbecue . . . I want to smell something that makes me feel better than I already feel."

To sum it up "Stubb's knows Barbecue"!

Now for the giveaway!

Stubb's not only makes great products, they are nice enough to share it with you folks who haven't tried it. They are so graciously giving a CASE of mixed sauces away to the winner. Yep...you heard me right, a CASE of 6 bottles! You will not only get their fabulous Moppin' sauce, but they are including their Original Barbecue sauce and Marinade too. Hot Dog! This is enough sauce to be grilling and BBQing all Summer long. You'll be the most famous neighbor out there!
