Recipe - Buffalo Ranch Chicken Wraps

Since the move...and well me no longer working...we have been eating at home A LOT more.  One of our favorite places back in Virginia to eat at was Buffalo Wild Wings.  I ALWAYS ordered the buffalo ranch chicken wrap.  Tonight I set out to recreate it...and it turned out fabulous.  Being the great bad recipe blogger I am... the only great photo I have is over the final product... but I swear it's easy and tasty.  I sort of winged it... as I do with most things I make for dinner.

*This made 8 wrap halves.  My husband and I each ate 2 halves, plus we have leftovers for tomorrow's lunches*

Ingredients -

3- boneless skinless chicken breasts
4- large wraps - any flavor
1- cup shredded cheddar cheese
1- bunch of romaine lettuce
1- small bottle of ranch dressing
1/2 - bottle of buffalo wing sauce

You could also add diced celery or tomatoes to your wrap if you like those things...we don't.

Directions -

1. Cut up the chicken into bit sized pieces. Cook over medium high heat in a skillet until cooked all the way through.  {I sprayed my pan with Pam cooking spray before hand).

2. While you chicken is cooking, chop up one bunch of romaine lettuce.  Heat your tortillas for 30 seconds in the microwave.

3. When the chicken is done, leave it in the pan, and coat it with the sauce.  I used about 1/2 a bottle...but you can use as much or as little as you would like.

4. Divide the chicken into the 4 tortillas, top with the lettuce, cheese, and ranch dressing to taste.

5. Roll like a burrito... if you aren't sure how to do that, check out this little handy how to.

6. Cut each wrap in 1/2 and serve.

These were excellent.  They tasted just like my favorite wrap at Buffalo Wild Wings.  We will definitely be having these again very soon.

Yummy Dinner Recipe - Lasagna Roll-Ups

I love to cook.  Lately we have been eating out way too much.  It's easy and there are no dishes.  I am trying to cook more at home.  My Aunt Kris gave me a Quick Cooking cookbook for Christmas.  The Lasagna Roll-Ups were the first recipe I tried.

Here is the original recipe -

I tweaked it though.  This is what I used-

10 uncooked lasagna noodles

1 package ground spicy Italian sausage* (I used this because it was on sale at the grocery store)

1 package (8 ounces) of chive and onion cream cheese **(I thought this would give it a better flavor)

1 jar (26 ounces) Vodka sauce ***(I picked this up at Trader Joe's last week and thought it would be good in this recipe)

1 bag shredded Italian mixed cheese

*You can use hamburger, ground turkey, or turkey sausage

**You could probably also use veggie cream cheese

***Your favorite pasta sauce will work

Cook the noodles according to package directions.  Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain.  Stir in softened cream cheese and 1/3 cup of the pasta sauce.  Drain noodles; spread 1/4 cup of the meat mixture on each noddle.  Sprinkle each with 2 tablespoons cheese; carefully roll up.

Spread 2/3 cup of pasta sauce into an ungreased 13in x 9in baking dish.  Place roll-ups seam side down over the sauce.  Top with remaining sauce and cheese.  Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.  Uncover; bake 150-20 additional minutes longer or until bubbly. 

Note - I struggled with rolling them.  It was pretty messy.  In the end it was worth it.  Both my husband and I really enjoyed this meal.
