Slow Cooker Beef Stew I
What I liked best about this recipe is that it's simple. Just throw everything into the slow cooker and let it do its thing. I did not follow the more advanced recipe, and it came out excellent. Made a few tiny changes, I used 2 cups of beef broth, and one packet of McCormick's Slow Cooker Hearty Beef Stew seasoning instead of having to add all the individual spices. Left out the bay leaf. Towards the end of cooking, I stirred in 1/4 cup of garlic mashed potato flakes, which helped thicken the sauce and give it a "kick." Delicious, will make again.

Chicken Marsala
This dish came out really great, just like restaurant quality. One thing I did that made the chicken turn out AWESOME was use a package of "Perdue Perfect Portions - Italian style." You get 6 filets, each one is about 1/4" thick, and they are PRE seasoned with italian herbs, so all you have to do really is coat each one with flour, you dont need to add additional oregano or other herbs. I took suggestions from other reviewers and added a tsp of minced garlic to the butter/oil (really added to the flavor), used sliced baby portabella mushrooms, added some onion slices, used double the amount of marsala wine (NOT marsala cooking wine, sweet marsala wine), added a splash of cream to the sauce, and added about 2 tsp of cornstarch to thicken it up a little. Served it all over garlic mashed potatoes, and it was really good! Everyone was impressed.

Easy OREO Truffles
These are AMAZING, and they are sooo easy to make. They honestly look professional. I used a box of Trader Joe's Candy Cane "Joe Joes" (which you can only buy around the holidays) instead of Oreos - they have crushed bits of candy cane in them, they made the recipe PERFECT. I used Ghiradelli milk chocolate to coat them, and drizzled white chocolate (same brand) over them. Wonderful!!! Updated: I have also made these with Double Stuffed Peanut butter creme oreos, and those are to-die-for good!! Super!
