Yummy Buffalo Chicken Lasagna Recipe

Saw this recipe on another blog and had to share...such a cool idea that I plan on making this for our next neighborhood pot luck!  Dont' forget to visit her blog for more information. The link can be found at:  http://www.carissashaw.com/2014/08/buffalo-chicken-lasagna.html?m=0

Buffalo Chicken Lasagna

BUFFALO CHICKEN LASAGNA! Excuse my excitement... but this is awesome! I'm actually new to buffalo wings. I ate my first wing at thirty years old. Yep, it's true. Wings never seemed like "my thing." But I was wrong... oh so wrong. I loveeee Buffalo wings now!

When I saw a recipe for Buffalo chicken lasagna I was really excited! But once I read the recipes I found online I felt like none were what I really wanted. As I usually do, I took the idea and made my own unique version. And it rocks. And because I'm awesome I share my recipes.

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
8 ounce cream cheese
1 cup buffalo wing sauce
Hot pepper sauce such as Franks Red Hot or Tabasco (amount based on your own preference)
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (I baked chicken tenders in the oven covered with foil at 350 for 25 minutes for this recipe, but a rotisserie chicken would work very well too)
1/2 cup ranch dressing
8 ounce package of shredded mozzarella cheese
Lasagna noodles, cooked according to package directions (do not use "no cook" noodles; they must be boiled and fully-cooked before building the lasagna)

Directions:
In a medium pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until butter is melted. Add the onions and cook until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Cut the cream cheese into cubes and add to the pot. Stir well until completely melted then add in the buffalo sauce and a few dashes of hot pepper sauce to taste. Spoon a small amount of the buffalo and cream cheese sauce into the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish and spread it around to cover the bottom of the dish. Stir the chicken into the sauce in the pot.
Place one layer of lasagna noodles in the bottom of the dish. Spread half of the chicken mixture over the noodles then drizzle with half of the ranch dressing. Add another layer of noodles and then the remaining chicken and ranch dressing. Place a final layer of lasagna noodles and then spread the cheese over the top.
Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes. Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing and maybe some carrot and celery sticks.

Tip: Not everyone likes blue cheese. I hateeeeee it! So I really recommend using ranch in the recipe unless you're 100% sure that everyone who will be eating this lasagna likes blue cheese. The blue cheese lovers can use the dressing on their lasagna and even top it with blue cheese crumbles.

Enjoy!

I stumbled upon this yummy Iced Green Tea with Lime drink at fitsugar.com  It reminds me a lot of the lime cooler you can get at Starbucks.   It calls for agave nectar, but I used organic sugar instead.

Interesting article about shopping on Amazon.com

saw this interesting article at http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/upgrade-your-life/amazon-shopping-secrets-152023509.html?vp=1...  thought I would share it with you

Amazon Shopping Secrets

When you shop online, you use coupon codes for almost every site EXCEPT Amazon. Do those codes exist? And how can you get even better prices at the web’s biggest superstore?

Secret Coupon Codes?

Every time I buy something at Amazon, there’s this little box that comes up during the checkout process that says, “Add coupon code for discount.” But no matter how many times I’ve looked, I’ve never found a percentage-off code on any of the good coupon sites like RetailMeNot or CouponCabin. Sure, it looks like they have those secret codes, but when you actually click on “Get Deal,” a new window pops up stating “No Coupon Required!” So I called the folks at Amazon and asked where to get one of these mythical codes. It turns out that while they do offer them, they are incredibly rare, and usually product-specific. For example, they recently offered $35 off Quicken – if you have the code – and the code was right there on the same page.

So don’t beat yourself up the next time you see the code box and you don’t have one; the Amazon code it is a unicorn. Of course, if you’ve seen a unicorn yourself, please share it on our Facebook page.

That said, there are some other, excellent ways to save:

Regular Discounts

One of the best ways to get discounts on items you frequently buy is to subscribe to it, which can save you up to 15% and get you free shipping. Not all products are available for this deal, but with tens of thousands of items listed, from diapers, to shampoo, to pet food, it’s definitely worth browsing Amazon’s Subscribe& Save page.

Secrets of Free Shipping

· You’ve probably seen the pitch to join Amazon Prime. Membership costs $79 a year for free two-day shipping, but depending on how often you shop, this mayor may not be a deal. On the other hand, you can share a membership with up to four family members or co-workers, and if you can split the cost, this can really be a huge savings. Plus, there’s nothing to keep you from signing up for a free, one-month trial when you have a bunch of purchases to make – like around the holidays.

· Amazon Student gets you the same deal – free 2-day shipping – with no annual fee, as long as you have an email address that ends in .edu.

· Amazon Mom offers the same free 2-day shipping, plus extra discounts on baby and toddler items like diapers and wipes. Despite the rather sexist title, you can even join as a dad. This membership is currently available as a free, three-month trial, after which you can expect to pay the same $79 a year as Amazon Prime members.

Timing

It’s no secret that prices fluctuate like crazy online.Tracking sites like CamelCamelCamel will show you the trends, and they’ll track prices and alert you to drops, or you can just put an item in your cart and save for later. Every time you log in from then on, you’ll get a notification about the price changes. Or, if you like window-shopping, you’ll often get the best deals by becoming a frequent browser. Within every category on Amazon (Clothing, Electronics, Grocery, etc.), search for “Deal of the Day.” There are also sites that curate the best deals.They are a little fly-by-night, but one I saw recently is called promocodes9.

Bonus Tip: Finding Really Cheap E-Books

Search “Kindle Books Under $2,” and you’ll often find a curated list of the best cheap and sometimes free reads. You don’t even have to have a Kindle to read their books; if you have a smartphone, use the Kindle app– or you can just read the e-books on your computer.
