Slow-Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup
4 stars for taste (very good) and an extra star for being so easy. I basically followed the directions but for the following: I started w/ frozen chicken breasts and just shredded it once it was done. I subbed chix broth for water (next time I will cut back on the salt to balance it). i used diced tomatoes , not whole peeled. I skipped the chile peppers b/c of the kids......but next time I will just use rotel. Added one can black beans. Next time i will also add an extra cup of broth and adjust the spices accordingly. It needs more broth.

Sweet and Sour Slaw
I loved it. I followed the directions but left out the pimento pepper. You maybe able to cut the sugar or use sweetner substitute. I mixed it up about 4 hrs. b/f serving so it could soak into the slaw. I did have a little extra dressing pooling at the bottom of the bowl...either add more slaw or drain. Again, loved it but my hubby only thought it was okay. However, when it comes to food, we have very different tastes. i like sweet and he is all about salt.

Slow Cooker Marmalade Curry Chicken
I liked it. Super easy and a lot of flavor. I used apricot preserves b/c I did not have marmalade. It was not too sweet for me, I do have a sweet tooth. I found the spices were fine but i may add a little more cayenne pepper next time. I cooked it on low for about 4 hours and than shredded it in the crockpot. i let it cook about 1 more hour at low. I always shredd crockpot chicken so it does not dry out and is not bland. I would like to try adding the coconut milk but my husband hates it and I really do not need the extra calories.
