Quick Bruschetta for Two

I love this recipe. I generally quadruple it though.

1/4 c. diced tomatoes

2 T. shredded mozzarella

1 T. chopped fresh basil (1/2 t. dried)

2 t. shredded parmesan cheese

2 t. zesty Italian dressing

2 thin slices French bread (1/4 in. thick)

Combine tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, Parmesan and dressing and spoon evenly over bread. Broil until cheese is melted. Watch closely because bread burns quickly.

Chicken Queso Dip (slow cooker)

This is a crowd-pleaser! I've served this more times than I can count for parties, showers, dinner, etc. Serve with corn chips. When done in a slow-cooker, allow at least 3-4 hours to complete if meat is thawed.

Combine the following in your slow cooker:
2-3 chicken breasts
1 sm. can green chilis
1 lrg. can red enchilada sauce

Cook on low until chicken is cooked through and is easy to shred--2-6 hours, depending on if meat is thawed or frozen and on your slow cooker. Shred the chicken (as fine as you have patience for).

Add to slow cooker:
1 block cream cheese
1 (8-10 oz) bag of Cheddar Cheese
1/2 red pepper, diced small
1/2 green pepper, diced small

Stir in and mix well. Cook for 1 more hour or so on lowest heat setting, stirring occasionally. Stir and serve warm! I serve it right from the crockpot. Makes 6+ servings. I double the recipe for parties.
