Chunks of juicy chicken, crisp romaine, plenty of creamy Caesar Dressing, and sun-dried tomatoes all wrapped up in a fluffy large flour tortilla, it will breathe new life into your mid-day meal. While I do a decent job planning our dinners, lunch goes something like this: open fridge. Dig around in fridge. Sigh and eat the same meal I’ve had for the last month straight. That’s not so bad if it’s something yummy and interesting (Roasted Vegetable Salad; Asian Chicken Wraps), but more often than not, I’m in a rut....

Stir in the sour cream, cumin, salt, garlic powder and pepper, whisking if necessary to remove any lumps....

I love cooking Asian and Asian inspired cuisines at home. A few of my favorites are my Short Rib Ramen Soup, Bo Luc Lac and Chicken Stir-Fry with Peanuts. A teppanyaki-style chicken fried rice recipe! Growing up, I wasn’t very adventurous where food was concerned.

Not only is stuffing made in a slow cooker more low maintenance than traditional stuffing cooked in the oven (the same can be said for Crockpot Mashed Potatoes), there’s a strong argument that it actually tastes better. Crock pot stuffing stays more moist in the center and has more surface area for the delightfully crispy, golden edges. Plus, outsourcing the stuffing to the slow cooker means your coveted oven space will be free for other endeavors on Thanksgiving and beyond....

Growing up, I had a master Easter egg hunt strategy: hoard the plastic, candy-filled eggs (a.k.a. the “good” eggs) and avoid the real, hard-boiled (“bad”) eggs. An egg without snickers inside simply had no place in my Easter basket’s limited real estate. Had these curried deviled eggs been a part of my childhood egg hunt, however, they would have been worth every inch of basket space. Gone are my childhood days when I dreamed of Triple Chocolate Easter Cake....

While I like to assume that my husband married me for my irresistible charm, girlish good looks, and sparkling personality, I know better: he married me for my easy baked beans (and this Jalapeno Cornbread).
