I'm bad, I'm Bad...

Wow, has it really been since May that I haven't posted?

Kind of what my blog has looked like.. Nothing for miles and miles

I told you guys, I am a bad, bad blogger.  I could say, once again, that I will be better, but really, who would believe me?  So instead I will say this...

You should never, EVER come here again.  

Why, you ask?

Because I am unpredictable and bad at this.  And really who need more unpredictability in their lives right?

But, if you don't ever come back you may very well miss one of my most delicious recipes (should I ever post one again), and who could ever forgive themselves for that??

With that said, no there really isn't a recipe to post today, at least not a truly paleo one.  But... I will let you in on a umber delicious, always requested, scarf up the leftover really not very paleo receipe.

Why am I publishing a nonpaleo recipe on my paleo blog?  Well, for some of you, you might just decide this is close enough to try.  And for those of you who still scoff and say, yeah, not even close, well maybe you will have the forbidden "cheat" day and give this a whirl.

Besides, Superbowl is coming up and who doesn't need some awesomness to chow down on at 3 am (yes that is the time it comes on tv here in Abu Dhabi) while watching the game?

*This recipe has been adapted from one seen at Skinnytaste.com.

Nonpaleo Buffalo Wing Chicken Dip
Please ignore the non skills of the photographer


2 whole chicken (about 1 kg or 2.2lbs for you non metric people)
2 cup sour cream
8 oz chive and onion cream cheese, softened (for those of you in Abu Dhabi make sure NOT to use spreadable cheese)
1 cup Hot Sauce (make sure it only has peppers and vinegar in the ingredients)
1 cup cheddar cheese

Cook the chicken
  • Take that big bad bird and throw it in a pot big enough to hold it and water that will almost cover it
  • If your bird is frozen no big deal, just throw it in the pot with the water as is.
  • Boil for about 1 hour if the bird wasn't frozen or about 1.5 hours if it was.
  • Remove from the water, being sure to drain water from the cavities and place on plate to cool
  • Once cool enough to handle, remove skin, and separate the meat from the bones and other ickiness
  • Take two forks and shred the meat.  The finer it is the easier it is to mix.
Putting it together
  • Add everything except the cheddar and the chicken in a large bowl and mix until mostly smooth.  
  • Throw the shredded chicken into your crockpot 
  • Pour the sauce over the chicken 
  • Add the cheddar on top
  • Mix everything together until it is well distributed.
  • Turn crockpot to low and heat for 3-4 hours. 
  • If your dip is still a little "loose" or runny take the top off your crockpot, turn to high and cook another 30-45 mins.


So here is where I am suppose to tell you that this will serve about 15 people at 1/3 cup a serving... but lets get real here.
As soon as you take a bite of this stuff you are going to turn to your friends, tell them it was an utter failure and it is no good to eat, and then you will take the crockpot and sneak into your room and snarf it all by yourself.  It's that good!

Ok, if you really want the break down then, from experience, I would say this will serve about 15 people.  It is always the thing that goes the fastest and it will leave your friends thinking you are amazing and they will all want the recipe.  So save it in word and start an email list...

No, I'm serious.  Start a list.  Otherwise you will get sick of people asking you for it.
