Poblano Chicken Alfredo Dip

June 4, 2023 Amanda Plott

Sometimes in my house we just like to have what we call ‘snacky dinner’, which usually means finger foods of one kind or another. This time around I was feeling chips and dip, but I wanted something with a little bit of a twist to it. That’s where this Poblano Chicken Alfredo Dip comes in. This Poblano Chicken Alfredo Dip is super easy to make and it’s tasty too. It’s where Italian alfredo comes together with the spice of a poblano pepper.

The spice level on this dip varies, depending a lot on how spicy your pepper ends up being. Mine was really tame which is why I ended up also using a little bit of pepper jack cheese too. And even then, it was still pretty mild…

Skinny Creamy Jalapeño Ranch

September 22, 2022 Amanda Plott

This is another fun one that I absolutely had to update with some new pictures.

If you've ever been to Texas... you may have heard of a little place called Chuy's Mexican Restaurant. Mhn, the mere thought that place makes my mouth water. Seriously. They have some amazing Tex-mex. One of my most favorite things at Chuy's is their Creamy Jalapeño Ranch. It's something that they will serve along side chips, but... you have to ask for it! It's also used as a salad dressing option.

I've been trying for years now to find a recipe that's even remotely close to the infamous dip that Chuy's serves. There's a lot of options out there, but none of them can hold a candle to the original, especially when making any healthy substitutions…

Pumpkin & Sausage Queso

September 12, 2021 Amanda Plott

Not all queso is created equal. Although, I don’t think that I could ever turn a queso away. This Pumpkin & Sausage Queso is PERFECT for Fall. It’s loaded with a little bit of pumpkin flavor and a lot of warm spices and a real kick-in-the pants! Naturally, while it’s hatch chile season in Texas, I served mine with some green chile hatch tortilla chips and YUM.

This queso is a bit more on the extra spicy side, what with the added chipotle, spicy sausage, and of course peppers as far as the eye can see…
