Low-carb Chocolate Peanut Butter Treat

I have no idea what this recipe is really called.  I got it from my friend Jamie Duncan.  It saves me when I'm eating more low-carb and really need a filling treat.

1 cup cottage cheese
1 tsp. creamy peanut butter
1 tsp. cocoa powder
3 pkg. stevia
1/2-1 tsp. vanilla

Mix all ingredients together well and your done.  :)

Buffalo Chicken Dip

I got this recipe from dealstomealsblog.com I made it one time for a football snack and it was a hit.  Now it is a major part of the fall football season for our family.   

Buffalo Chicken Dip

8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/2 c. mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 c. blue cheese or feta (If you don't like blue cheese use feta..it is delicious with both types of cheese)
1/2 c. ranch dressing
1/2 c. franks hot sauce
1/2 c. green onions, sliced
1/4 c. cheddar cheese, shredded
2 cans Costco canned chicken, drained
Crackers, chips 

In a microwave safe bowl, heat the cream cheese in the microwave until soft. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until combined. Place the dip in a 8x8 or 9x13 pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes, or until the dip is slightly golden brown. If you don't have a lot of time you can also broil the dip for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully that the dip doesn't burn. Serve the warm dip with crackers, celery sticks or tortilla chips.
