Chicken and Waffle Sliders
frozen mini waffles, toasted
chicken tenders, cooked
maple syrup
toothpicks
Slice your cooked chicken fingers into 3-4 pieces each. Break your toasted mini waffles apart.
Sandwich 1 piece of chicken between 2 mini waffles. Secure with a toothpick. Drizzle with maple syrup and serve warm.
Cook up as many waffles and chicken fingers as needed. As a rule of thumb, 1 chicken finger will get you about 3-4 sliders.

Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Dip
2 packages of cream cheese
2-3 cans of chicken breast in water (the larger, 12-13 oz sized can–or for a less processed version, shred about 2 – 3 chicken breasts and add the meat from that)
10 oz ranch dressing
approx. 1/2 bottle Franks “Red Hot” Buffalo Sauce (12 oz bottle)
1 scant cup shredded cheddar cheese
Combine all the ingredients, except for the shredded cheddar cheese, in a lightly sprayed crock pot. Put crock pot on High setting for approximately 45 minutes. Stir the mixture occasionally to help the cream cheese melt and to help break up the larger chunks of chicken breast. After the 45 minutes is up, reduce the heat setting to Low and continue to heat until the mixture is fully melted and warm enough to eat. Immediately before serving, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese. Serve with tortilla chips. (Note: I prefer to serve this by having folks take portions right out of the crock pot. Once the heat is turned off, it solidifies pretty quickly, so if it’s going to be out for a bit it’s best to keep it on the Low setting.)

Slow Cooker Spinach and Artichoke Dip
9 oz frozen spinach, thawed and drained
1 (14 oz) can quartered artichoke hearts, drained
8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 clove minced garlic
1/4 cup milk
Black pepper
Open a 2.5 quart slow cooker and place a Reynold’s Slow Cooker Liner inside, fitting snugly against the bottom and sides of the slow cooker. Place all ingredients in the lined slow cooker and stir gently to combine. Place lid on slow cooker. Cook on high for 2 hours, or until cheeses are melted. Stir to make sure everything is completely combined.
Tips:
Dip can easily be doubled and cooked in a 4 to 6 quart slow cooker.
If the dip is too thick, add more milk, a tablespoon at a time until you have your desired consistency.

Pizza Pretzels
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon cornmeal
1 tablespoon All Purpose Flour
1 can (13.8 oz) refrigerated classic pizza crust
28 slices (1 1/2-inch size) pepperoni
8 pieces (1 oz each) mozzarella string cheese
4 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup tomato pasta sauce, heated
Heat oven to 425°F. Brush large cookie sheet with 1/2 tablespoon of the oil. Sprinkle cookie sheet with cornmeal. Sprinkle flour over work surface. On floured surface, unroll pizza crust dough; starting at center, press dough into 16×10-inch rectangle. With pizza cutter or knife, cut dough lengthwise into 4 (2 1/2-inch-wide) strips. Evenly place 7 pepperoni slices on each dough strip, leaving 1/2 inch on each end uncovered. Cut each string cheese in half lengthwise. Place 4 cheese halves on pepperoni on each dough strip, overlapping ends to fit. Bring up sides of each dough strip over pepperoni and cheese, and tightly pinch together, stretching dough as necessary to fully enclose cheese and pepperoni; pinch ends to seal. Lightly roll and shape into 16-inch logs. To make pretzel shape, form each log into U-shape, then cross the ends and fold dough over so ends rest on bottom of U-shape. Place pretzels on cookie sheet. Brush pretzels with remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake 13 to 17 minutes or until pretzels are golden brown. Serve warm with pasta sauce for dipping.
