Slow Cooker Green Chicken Chili
I totally prefer “green” sauce to “red” any day of the week. Green salsa, green enchiladas, green taco sauce…it’s the best and packs so much flavor. I especially love working with tomatillos.

Skillet Bowtie Bacon-Cabbage-Ham-Mushroom-Leek Pasta
This dish has all the amazing flavors I grew up with in an Eastern European household. I can’t remember a time when someone wasn’t sauteing things like bacon, ham, onion, cabbage potatoes and mushrooms together. I still crave all those flavors today.

Caramel-Nut Surprise Cookies
It has been really difficult to get these cookies made. I have been hiding these caramels from my family all over the house. It has been one heck of a battle to keep them out of the bag.
