Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

Love this recipe! Only thing I did different was I sauteed ed onion and fresh spinach with 1 tbs of vegetable oil and added garlic powder, pepper, onion powder and salt for about 3 minutes before adding the 2 jars of sauce. I also used 1 14.5oz can Heinz diced tomatos w/ mild chilies for the tomato part of the recipe. SUPER GOOD!!
