Caesar Salad Cream Cheese Chicken Dip…that’s a mouthful. A mouthful of goodness! Turning Chicken Caesar Salad into a creamy dip might be the best idea I’ve ever had.
Does it count as a salad if it’s a dip? If you can eat it with pita chips and it has a layer of cream cheese? These are the things I ponder at night. The answer is no, its not actually a salad. But I’ve realized that I prefer dips to salads anyway, so that’s okay with me. This cream cheese dip tastes just like chicken caesar salad, but better! All those perfect flavors in a dippable party appetizer. YUM!
This Creamy Chicken Caesar Dip recipe is AMAZING and I crave it like crazy. It’s so tasty. Just like your favorite salad (which, let’s face it…caesar salad was never healthy to begin with) in a cheesy dip form. YES.

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
This is the perfect grocery list filled with all the basics and essentials. It should help get you going if you’re new to cooking, or if you’re just left staring helplessly at an empty pantry and don’t know how to fill it.
