Notes

Buffalo Chicken Tenders are also great for Meal Prep Sunday to enjoy for lunch or dinner during the week tucked into wraps or to top salads. Feel free to use different flavors of glaze if Buffalo isn’t your thing

Non-fat Greek yogurt is one of my favorite ingredient-tricks! Here it lightens up typically heavy Blue Cheese and Ranch Dips so you get all the flavor you love for a fraction of the calories and fat.

These dips can be made up to 4 days before and are also excellent salad dressings or sandwich toppings.
