Buffalo Chicken Dip is my favorite party and holiday dip recipe! Loaded with chicken, Franks hot sauce and ranch or blue cheese dressing for the perfect protein packed treat.

Last week, I was hit with a quite a sucker punch. I was diagnosed with a gluten intolerance. Um….excuse me??!?!

I am still in the mourning stage right now. All I can think about are the endless amazing foods I will never again be able to eat. Sure, I could sneak a taste here and there, but the extreme pain that lasts for days just isn’t worth it.

I’m not sure where I am going from here, but I am grateful that after 5 years, I finally have an answer to my misery.

I’ve already had a few people ask me if I was going to switch my whole family to a gluten-free diet. Nope! So don’t unsubscribe because I promise to post those gluten-loaded recipes, but the reviews will have to come second-hand 🙂

I have already gone through my previous posts and labeled those that are gluten-free and will continue to do so. There are a lot of great recipes out there, both with and without gluten, and I hope to find a great balance for everyone involved!

There are so many different versions of this recipe out there, but I adore my version the best. I think it is the perfect proportion of all five ingredients. Not too heavy on any one. Perfectly balanced. Yes, you can substitute out the blue cheese for a ranch, but the blue cheese really is quite subtle (again, that perfect balance!) so don’t dismiss it before you try it. I think it is considerably better with the blue cheese than the ranch and I don’t like blue cheese 🙂
