Buffalo Chicken & Celery Bites

Serve arranged on celery slices on a platter.

INGREDIENTS FOR 16

2 chicken breasts cooked and shredded
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup Frank's Red Hot Sauce
1 bunch of celery
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese

INSTRUCTIONS

In a small saucepan, heat the butter and Frank's Red Hot sauce together, whisking frequently until butter melts.
Pour buffalo sauce over shredded chicken and toss to coat.
Slice celery into 3 inch pieces.
Stuff celery with chicken mixture.
Top with blue cheese crumbles and serve.

Slow Cooker Boiled Peanuts

Serve in bowls.

INGREDIENTS FOR 12 SERVINGS

2 pounds green peanuts
½ cup kosher salt
½ cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes

INSTRUCTIONS

Using the lid of a 6+ quart slow cooker as a stencil, trace the outline onto a piece of parchment paper with a pencil. Cut out the shape with scissors and set it aside.
Place the peanuts, salt, vinegar, and red pepper flakes in a slow cooker and add 4 quarts of water.
Cover with the lid and cook on the high setting for 1 hour.
Place the piece of parchment directly on the peanuts, reduce the setting to low, and cook for 11 hours, or until the peanuts are tender, like well-cooked beans.
Serve them warm, or cool the peanuts in their cooking liquid and store them in it too.
They will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Caramelized Onion Dip

Serve in a bowl with potato chips, a starchy vegetable, or carrots and celery to dip.

INGREDIENTS FOR 12

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 yellow onions, sliced
1 (8 oz.) pckg. cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt

INSTRUCTIONS

Place oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally until onions are soft and translucent, about 7 minutes.
Continue cooking over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the translucent onions become brown, 10-15 minutes. (Note: The onions should not be crispy or have dark brown spots from contact with the pan, but instead the onions should be soft, semi-translucent, and brown.)
With a mixer, beat together cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise on medium-high until smooth.
Add Worcestershire sauce and salt and stir to combine.
Add caramelized onion and incorporate with a spatula until evenly distributed.
