Since we’ve hit May, I’m attempting to do a full Mexican theme with the food this month. Here’s a recipe for slow cooker pork chile verde. So far so good I say. And since my family loves eating this way it’s a win win for me. While this might not be the quickest recipe, it…
Best Ever Chicken Salad with Grapes
Do I have a recipe for you. The best chicken salad you have ever tasted. How many of you find yourself with left over chicken and ponder what creative dish you can make for dinner? Do you find yourself wishing there were other things you can make? Do you like me go to Costco and…
