Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.

Only complaint is with amounts listed. I notice this a lot and wish recipes would reflect how the product is marketed, i.e. spaghetti sauce doesn't come in quarts. It comes as 24 oz jars. Shredded cheese is in 8 oz pkgs, not 12. Small ricotta cartons are 15 oz, not 16. I make this quite often and it always gets rave reviews...even tho I probably don't have the amounts exactly as noted!

This is a super easy recipe. I gave it 3 stars only because I did feel it tasted average. Little flavor, but not bad.
