Tilapia and Rice

 From my good friend Kyle Riley

1-2 frozen tilapia fillet
soy sauce
black pepper to taste
cayenne pepper to taste
1 C rice

Thaw the tilapia fillet (if it individually raped fill the bag with hot water).  Start cooking the rice.  In a microwave safe bowl add the tilapia, soy sauce to half cover, black and cayenne pepper to taste.  Cover the bowl with a plate and microwave 2.5 to 4 minutes depending on size of the fillet and microwave (the fish should flak with a fork when cooked).  Remove the fish and set aside.  Add the rice to the soy sauce, mix and serve with the fish.

Buffalo Chicken Dip

Addapted form my good find Michael Fay

1 large can chicken
1 8oz bag of shredded cheddar cheese
1 block low fat cream cheese
1 12ox bottle Franks Red Hot (cayenne hot sauce)
Ranch dressing to taste
BBQ sauce to taste

Combine everything in a crock pot and melt.  It will talk several hours to melt and you will need to stir often.  Serve hot with chips or celery.
