Buffalo Chicken Potato Skins

With Football, Hockey and Basketball back in full swing it is the perfect time for some game day food. I found a recipe on SkinnyTaste that has all the flavor of buffalo chicken and packages it in an easy to eat potato skin! When I saw this I had to try them right away because I love potato skins and buffalo chicken and the thought of combining the two makes them even better.

Cold Corn Soup w/ Queso Fresco

I ran across this recipe on Skinny Taste and it was a warm soup but that seemed like too much with the heat wave we had been going through. I decided to chill it and see if it was good cold... it was great! Make sure to use fresh corn because it will give a much better corn flavor. To make it easier/cleaner there are two different methods that you can use. 1) OXO makes a corn stripper that catches all the corn. 2) Place a small bowl upside down inside of a large bowl and place the end of the corn on the smaller bowl. now when you cut the corn it will fall into the larger bowl eliminating the majority of the mess.

Enjoy this soup this weekend it is supposed to get into the eightys here so it will be the perfect temperature for a picnic and the next recipe i post will be the perfect compliment for this soup. I will post it today as well.
