Instant Pistachio Salad
Just how it should be. I used sugar free pudding mix and it was fine. I also used non-gelatin marshmallows, which tasted amazing, but got a little mushy in the leftovers. Next time, I will mix up the rest of the dessert, and then just sprinkle the marshmallows on top of each serving as it's dished up.

Restaurant-Style Coleslaw I
This was just okay. I guess it does taste kind of like the chicken place, but it was kind of weird and lemony and too sweet. I'll keep looking for a keeper.

Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup
One bite in to this delicious soup, my husband declared it "a keeper." I subbed 12 oz of vegetable stock for the beer, just in the interests of keeping calories down. I also only had one can of Rotel, so I added about half a can of extra water. To reduce the sodium content, I drained and rinsed the beans, then dumped them back into the can and filled with water to get the proportions right. We also used Bill's Taco Seasoning as recommended (it's on this site as Taco Seasoning I), but cut the salt in half. To make this meatless, we used about half a bag of Quorn chicken-style chunks instead of the chicken. I made the soup a day ahead and added the Quorn when I reheated on the stovetop, but I'm sure you could add it a couple of hours before serving. I loved this with crushed tortilla chips on top. It was plenty spicy for my tastes, but my husband added hot sauce. We're already looking forward to the leftovers!
