Buffalo Chicken and Blue Cheese Mashed Potato

I am a HUGE fan of buffalo wings. Sadly, they are not the healthiest item on the menu. Every once in a while I will treat myself to 6 of them, with a salad. Long gone are my days of seeing who can eat the most wings. I can't believe I even fell into that trap to begin with. But they were so yummy and I tend to become an eater when I am drinking. 

Now you see why I was inspired to do a healthier living website!

 I am cheap. I also don't use enough butter / margarine in my cooking to justify buying/paying more than what I do for this giant tub ($2) and it last me about a month. The Franks Red Hot I got the bottles from the discount outlet we shop at once a month for $1.99, usually about $3.50 in the stores here.

Again, if you have been following along for any amount of time you may have noticed that yes, I do use recipes, but no, I don't really follow them. They tend to be more for inspiration.

Chicken breasts were on sale this week at Kroger for $5.99 3lb bag, usually $7.99. This little batch was actually a freebie from my mother-in-law.

                                                                 I did not measure.

                         The only thing I could not get on sale was the reduced fat blue cheese.

 I had some leftover Nutrisystem Cheesey Mashed Potatoes so instead of making homemade mashed potatoes I decided to use these ups. I added some extra sprinkles of cheese for flavor along with the blue cheese.

                                                This is my meal when it was finished.

My recipe was adapted from the Cooking Light Magazine and their Buffalo Chicken Thigh Recipe.
