Earlier this year, I released a Make Your Own Dip eBook with 10 dry dip mixes in it.  These were seasoning mixes that you can add to sour cream, cream cheese, yogurt, or a combination of these three and make a unique dip for a party!

Grab the eBook for now!

A secret to this book is that you use these mixes for marinades too!  Here is a prime example of the versatility of these seasoning mixes.  I used the leftover Southwest Seasoning Mix I had in my pantry for these wings, on a whim, and fell in love with it!  I might even try it on steak next.

If you haven’t had a chance to get this great eBook, click on the picture of the book and it will take you to it!

There are 10 tasty seasoning mixes to make and a few bulk recipes for my favorites like the Cajun and Ranch ones!  And these recipes are not posted on the blog.  You can only get them in the book.

With all the heat from the Southwest Spiced Wings, you have to have a way to cool down.  Forget the blue cheese and ranch, just throw it out the window!  You will never go back after making this avocado salsa verde sauce.

It is also a versatile sauce that you can certainly use for chicken, shrimp, steak, and wings.  Your kids might also use it as their new dip for their chicken nuggets!

Grab a ripe avocado, some salsa verde (I keep a jar of the organic kind in the fridge at all times to add to my eggs, chicken, and even my guacamole if I run out of chilies), and some sour cream.  This sauce comes together quickly and is so delicious!

If you want a recipe for a homemade salsa verde, check out this fabulous recipe.  It is so yummy and I was sad when I didn’t have any on hand, or all the ingredients to make it when I made this sauce the first time.  

I have since used her recipe for this sauce but don’t feel bad if you grab a jar.  I love a shortcut just like everyone else!  We are all so busy these days!

These Southwest Spiced Chicken wings are perfect for your next party, or Mexican get-together, or just late-night snacking by yourself!  I have been known to get hungry late and eat these in my PJs standing in front of the fridge.  

No judging from me if you want to do the same!
