Holly Jacobs – Animal Communicator

Are you having problems with your pets?  Do you need someone to intercede and have that “talk” with your pet?  Holly came to my house and had a “conversation” with my cats.  She gave me some valuable tips and also gave me a better understanding of what changes I could make.  I have to to be the "Alpha Cat".  I found it to be very fascinating and some of the bad behavior has ceased.  She was referred to me by a person from one of the animal rescue groups.

RECIPES FROM FRIENDS 

Buffalo Chicken Dip – Shawn Tesmer

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup blue cheese salad dressing

1/2 cup Frank's® RedHot® Buffalo Wing Sauce

1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese or shredded mozzarella cheese

2 (9.75 ounce) cans Swanson® Premium Chunk Chicken Breast in Water, drained

This is the basic Recipe.  I used Cheddar Cheese in mine, but I think it’s whatever you have or want to use.   I would say for this recipe above, that 3 Boneless Chicken Breast Halves would work.

 

Directions:

Basically what I did was put the Wing Sauce, Cream Cheese and Blue cheese in a crock pot and turned it on high.  In the mean time I cooked the chicken breast.  You can either shred the chicken, or use a food chopper which will get it into smaller pieces chunks yet.  After it’s cooked and shredded, put the chicken into the mixture, and add the shredded cheese.  Stir it up and heat until its hot, then put it on warm.  If it is too dry, add a little more Hot Sauce and Blue cheese until it’s a consistency that you prefer. - Shawn
