My birthday is coming up very soon. I don’t usually make any big plans and don’t want anyone to make a fuss. I’ve gone from marking birth years, to acknowledging anniversaries ~ this one will be the 17th anniversary of my 29th birthday.

It’s typically a day when my family dotes on me a little more, I get some wonderful cards by snail mail ~ maybe a little check from the Grans ~ and get taken out to eat. That’s about it.

This year I want to invite my bloggy pals to celebrate with me. I’m hosting a pot luck and would love for you all to come over and bring your favorite party foods to the shindig. I’ll provide the drinks, and heat up a bowl of my famous:

Buffalo Chicken Dip

2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
1/2 cup bottled bleu cheese salad dressing*
1/2 cup hot sauce
1 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Stir together cream cheese, salad dressing and hot sauce, mixing until smooth. Add in chicken and 2/3 cup of cheddar cheese, stirring until well mixed. Pour into a lightly greased casserole dish, and top with remaining cheddar cheese. Cook 20 minutes at 350°, or until bubbly. Serve with corn chips, or celery and carrot sticks.

*Ranch dressing can be substituted for blue cheese dressing.

Here’s what I’m asking you to do ~
Please send me your favorite party food recipes by e-mail, leave it in the comment section, or if you’ve had a recipe post at your blog send me the link so I can include it later with a shout out to you. It can be your best dip, cookies or cake, soups, casseroles, barbeque, sub sandwiches, finger foods, appetizers, party drinks or whatever… it’s all welcome.

Once I compile all the recipes, I’ll include them in my birthday post for all to share. We can have a fabulous time noshing away on all the delicious food. I’ll set up a buffet.

Show me what wonderful cooks you are, and come party with me on my birthday.
