Slow Cooker Spicy Black-Eyed Peas
OUTSTANDING!!! This was the BEST tasting "beans" I've ever eaten, with just a touch of spicy! I made it for New Years Day (for good luck & wealth) - made a 1/2 batch. I've already eaten 3 small bowls. I made this exactly as the recipe said and would not change a thing. Mmmmm.... going for another bowl!!!

Bolognese Sauce
I made this tonight and did not change a thing. I thought it was great. I cut the recipe in half (it's just me & my husband), and there's still plenty for another leftover dinner for us both. Surprisingly... my husband said he did NOT like the bacon!!! Whaaat??? I disagree and will make it again WITH the bacon. I used baby bow-tie pasta (Barilla Piccolini). Great recipe. Would have been better with some grated parmesan!

Stuffed Cabbage Rolls
I kicked it up a bit by adding a little Italian sausage to the ground beef, and extra seasonings. I also cooked them in the slow cooker (great). They were a little "loose" right from the crock, but the left overs -- after being refrigerated -- WOW! They were much much better the second night -- they firmed up very nicely and stayed more together after reheating in the microwave. Huge sucess - can't wait to make them again. Also used 2 cans of tomato soup like several recommended.
