Heather’s Buffalo Chicken Dip

Buffalo Chicken Dip in a dish

Today marks my and Heather’s 7th anniversary and as usual it will come and go with little fanfare.  When we planned our wedding, we chose the holidays because it is our favorite time of year.  We also honeymooned in New York City for New Year’s Eve, so there’s that.  In hindsight, it’s kinda hard to really celebrate anything around the holidays and make it feel special. 

It all gets caught it in the hustle and bustle and rarely is there much money left after Christmas to really celebrate.  But we’re okay with that.  It seems senseless to save all that for just one day anyway.  We share our love for one another in the little things we do… it might be Heather warming up my car for me in the morning or sweet texts throughout the day. 

Our love is real.  It’s not overbearing or pushy; we’re not trying to convince anyone else of our love.  It just is.  We were talking to one of our friends the other day who will be getting married soon and she asked if we had any advice.  For us, it was simple.  Marriage is not easy.  Sure there will be time where it seems that way, but it’s not.  You have to work at it every single day.  But the most important thing to remember is that whatever you put into it, that’s exactly what you’ll get out.  You must make time for one another.  Even with kids, there still needs to be time each day for one another.  Sure it’s important to have regular date nights and such, but sometimes those quiet moments over coffee in the early morning or those conversations laying in bed late at night mean even more.  Rough patches will happen, that’s guaranteed.  But you must make sure you build a marriage that’s worth having in the end.  The kids will grow up, the careers will end.  One day, that marriage and its memories will be all that is left.

Buffalo Chicken Dip

My family loves Buffalo Chicken Dip. This is Heather’s adaptation of the recipe.  We like this one a lot because it’s not all mixed together.  Drizzling the ranch and buffalo sauce on the top allows you to get a taste of each without them being all combined.  It’s also great because you can control the heat level by adding more or less buffalo wing sauce.

    Congratulations! Before you know it, you will be celebrating your 50th!! We were married on June 30th – last day to be a June bride. Our daughter and son-in-law chose New Year’s Eve for their wedding. It seems to be a family tradition because my husband’s parents also chose New Year’s Eve.

    Happy 7th Anniversary Stacey & Heather!! :()
    Know exactly how y’all feel. Hubs and I got married on 12/21, 18 years ago. Our youngest son was born on a 12/20 a few years after marriage and of course there’s always Christmas Eve 24th with family and Christmas Day 25th with family and well, you get the picture. Most of the time we look at each other a few days PAST our anniversary and say, “We had an anniversary, didn’t we?”
    Marriage is definitely give and take but more giving than taking, for sure. Several years ago we stared a new thing for our anniversary. Our first date was on Jan 19th so we now celebrate our anniversary on that day instead. The delay gives us a little time to recoup from the holidays, stash a little cash for celebrating and no hustle and bustle. My husband has a motto for married folks that goes like this “You can be right or stay married.” All the little petty things will be just that, “petty”, once we look back and examine whether its really so important to always be right.
    Love all your recipes and of course the stories too!
