Heather's Cilantro, Black Bean, and Corn Salsa
Incredible! The only thing I would probably change is to use real diced tomatoes and another avocado. The canned tomatoes were just weird. I found myself trying to avoid them. Other than that, it is a really filling dip and great for parties! It's easy, cheap, awesome, and different from the usual party dips (cheese dip, guacamole, etc.)

Barbeque Beef Casserole
I've never enjoyed BBQ sauce so much! Fantastic recipe! Of course I used garlic in the meat, beans, juice from the tomatoes, one box of cornbread, doubled the BBQ sauce, basically all the suggestions everyone else wrote. But I thickened it all up with a flour and water mixture before I layered it in my baking dish. I put cheese on top of that, but wish I had used more. I used half a can of corn with the meat and veggies, and used the other half in the cornbread. The one box was just enough to bake up to about a half inch on top. If I had another box of cornbread mix I would have liked to use it. In the end I served it with a nice salad and it was an incredible meal!

Easy Slow Cooker Chicken
Ok, this recipe is easy, and it has potential, but it must be adjusted. First, I don't think it matters what cream of _____ soups you put in, it comes out creamy and flavorful. But I do think adding more spices is necessary. So garlic salt, onion salt, paprika, salt and fresh ground pepper all made a big difference. Second, just cook the rice separately in a rice cooker. After reading the reviews about the rice issues people were having, I still decided to put my rice in and just cook it longer. Nope, five hours later some of the rice was cooked, and some of it was super hard. Third, adding some fresh veggies like onions and celery ( others suggest peas or broccoli) really give it some texture. The chicken came out fantastic, but I had to scrap off the inconsistent rice and do without. I was bummed, but I learned my lesson.
