Buffalo Chicken Dip
The Super Bowl might as well be renamed “National Cheat-Day” because it’s the day everyone skips out on their healthy eating, trendy diets to eat amazing, delicious, unhealthy-but-totally-worth-it food. This recipe is absolutely no exception. Delicious? Yes! Healthy? Nope! Regardless, it does a great job of mimicking the flavor of buffalo chicken wings without the hassle and mess.

It’s a good party favor and hardly involves any preparation at all. Honestly, I can’t realistically call this cooking. Ingredients: 1 can organic black beans 1/2 C…
