Running Mama Cooks

Every year we have a few friends over for a casual Superbowl get together. Since we had so much fun making homemade pizza last weekend, I made a few tonight for dinner. My friend Ryan's mom sent him down with "chop meat and macaroni", one of our fav dishes that she makes. Thanks Mrs. S!

We started off with a few appetiser's of course. I made a Lighter Buffalo Chicken Dip in the crock pot from Gina's Weight Watcher's Blog. It was really delicious and I am not usually much of a blue cheese fan.

Here is the recipe:

Zach put together a more indulgent dip, browning sausage and melting in velveta and rotel. YUM


For our Pizzas, I made a white pie and a meat lovers. Here I am stretching the dough. I got a few good tosses in too!
