Now that the holidays are over we can get back to focusing on football. The first playoff games in college football were played yesterday. There is one more game to determine the champion. The NFL is getting ready for the playoffs. There is still a lot of tailgating to be done!

If you are like me, you probably overindulged during the holidays. I am looking for simple swaps to help keep me on track in the new year. I know I can’t make drastic changes to our diet and stay focused. I have to be somewhat sneaky. šŸ˜‰

I made a few swaps for this dip, and I really couldn’t tell a difference. I swapped the regular cream cheese for Greek cream cheese. I used some reduced-fat cheese, and turkey sausage instead of regular sausage. If you aren’t sure about the swaps, you can always use the regular products. But honestly, we really couldn’t tell a difference.

We loved this dip. We also loved that it was a bit healthier for us. Yay! for Little Victories! A word of warning about this dip. It does have a kick from the wing sauce. Make sure to adjust the amount to your personal preference. We like it spicy, so we went all-in!

  1. My little victory for today is accepting my body the way it is right now and not feeling bad about myself anymore.

  2. My little victory for today was when I got all 4 of my little ones to take a nap at the same time which means I get to take a shower while the sun is up. Victory dance!

  3. My little victory today is that I logged all my food intake. Despite being over my goal, I made better decisions and holding myself accountable. šŸ™‚

  4. My little victory today was finally getting a lot of paper work put away that has been piling up ever since I had a terrible kidney stone problem in November. YAY

  5. I plan on making this tomorrow for Sunday afternoon football! Thank you for the yummy (and healthy) recipe!

  6. This dip looks and sounds amazing. I am going to try replacing the sausage with diced Rotisserie chicken (don't eat sausage) and see how it goes – should be awesome ! Thank you for sharing this recipe !

  7. I LOVE dips but usually HATE "healthy food". This looks like it could be the best of both worlds! Im so excited to try it!

  8. I sat down and made a chart for the "spring" cleaning I'm going to tackle during my week off of work next week!

  9. My little victory today was making a batch of flu tonic that I've had pinned for weeks. I'm determined not to catch this nasty flu going around.

  10. My small victory today: NOT sitting on the couch all day watching the Walking Dead Marathon like I wanted to! šŸ™‚

  11. My little victory for today….I've been up since 4:30 with my toddler and still managed to get to work on time. Now if I can only get rid of this stuffy nose and cough……

  12. Would low-fat cream cheese work in place of the Greek cream cheese? I've never seen that. This looks yummy.

  13. My little victory for today is packing my lunch. Starting the new year off right by not eating out and hopefully I will stick to it! I packed leftovers of the Black Eyed Pea and Smoked Sausage Soup! Can't wait for lunch.

  14. My little victory for today is that I know what I'll be making for dinner tonight. (And trust me- that's actually a HUGE victory here lately!) And FOR ONCE, my Razorbacks did what most others in the SEC West couldn't do this year- won a bowl game! WPS! šŸ˜‰
