Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
As mentioned previously, I have a strange addiction to Pinterest. I am always pinning recipes to try. I have tried a number, but occasionally, I will pin one, then go to look at the ingredients and think they are insane. Such was the case with this sandwich recipe I pinned. I got to thinking about it and decided I could easily make my very own recipe. So this was inspired by Pinterest, but really has very few of the ingredients, if any, that were in the recipe I saw. Here is my very own recipe for 2 servings of Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese Sandwiches:
1-5oz. Can of Chicken
1 Tbsp. Light Mayonnaise
1 Tbsp. Vinegar
2 Tbsp. Frank's Red Hot Sauce
5 Sprays of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter
2 Deli Thin Slices of Cheddar Cheese
2 Tbsp. Reduced Fat Blue Cheese Dressing, I used Wish Bone.
4 Slices Sara Lee Delightful Bread
Preheat George Foreman grill or a lightly greased pan or a griddle. Toast bread on medium setting in toaster. In small bowl mix canned chicken, mayonnaise, vinegar, hot sauce, butter spray until well mixed. Spread mixture on toasted bread. Spread 1 Tbsp. of blue cheese dressing on top of each partially made sandwich. Top with a slice of cheddar cheese. Top each sandwich with remaining piece of bread. Place sandwich in grill or onto pan or griddle. Cook for just a minute or so and flip to continue cooking until cheese is starting to melt. Slice each sandwich in half and enjoy!
We served ours with no sugar added applesauce, which was delicious! The sweet apple sauce made up for the kind of spicy sandwich. If you keep track of your Weight Watchers Points, this sandwich is 6 points. You could even get creative and add some chopped up celery, which would be delicious! Also, the hubby doesn't love blue cheese, so we left that out on his sandwich. He just had some ranch on the side. We both enjoyed the sandwich so much, hope you do too!

The Confessional
A couple random thoughts of the season...
1.) I think I'm addicted to Pinterest. Why would I think that? Well, I was in church on Sunday. We were sharing the peace and one of my Pinterest friends said she was having a hard time keeping up with me, I giggled and said we'd have to catch up after the service. I turned to shake hands with another church go-er and instead of saying, "Peace be with you..." I said, "pinterest..." I'm sure I turned like 6 shades of red. Perhaps I should pin more about God? Or...I could just focus on being at church! Sheesh, lol.
2.) I drive by this one house on my way to and from work. I've been worried because I can't see baby Jesus in their nativity. I have been worried that maybe someone stole baby Jesus. Seriously...where could be baby Jesus be? It occurred to me tonight that maybe everyone, Mary, the wisemen, etc. are WAITING for Jesus to come...as in Advent. Duh...I bet they put Jesus out on Christmas eve or Christmas day. It was like a riddle in their front yard. I get it now.
3.) I was listening to that song, "A Baby Changes Everything"...I was thinking, how did Mary know when she was pregnant? Sure, she'd have the normal symptoms, but how would she know how far along she was in her pregnancy? Like was the moment she saw the angel the start of 9 months? What was her pregnancy like? Low and behold the gospel in church on Sunday said something to the effect to when Mary would be pregnant. Hmm...all very thought provoking. Also, I wonder if she wanted to have more babies or if she was content knowing she carried the Lord, Our Savior, to term?
Okay, those are my meandering thoughts of the day. Some comical, but the Mary thing is perplexing to me. I like to wonder what it'd be like to interview Mary. Anyway, hope you are enjoying the holidays!
