Sauce Rosee
I had a craving for tortellini in rosee sauce with sausage after having it at a local restaurant. This recipe did not disappoint! I browned the sausage in the olive oil and herb mixture, then removed the sausage and added the wine to let it reduce for a bit. I then followed the recipe, adding my cut up sausage before the cream after having let them sit for a bit to let the juices settle. I used a mixture of sweet and hot italian sausage. This was the best pasta dish I've made at home ever and will be my go to meal. It's easy, not too expensive to prepare, and very tasty.

Chicken and Dumplings III
This is a good quick meal to make. Not as good as "real" chicken & dumplings of course, but definitely very tasty, especially compared to the ease of preparation. I did boil my chicken in chicken broth with poultry seasoning, a little terragon, garlic, celery, and onion and I used one can of cream of chicken & one can of cream of celery, but I think even as stated, the dish would be quite delicious. I will definitely keep this recipe for quick comfort food meals.

Awesome Slow Cooker Pot Roast
The first time I made this, I made it to the recipe and it was very good. However, the next few times I made it with some modifications that elevated it to out of this world. 1. Season your roast, but easy on the salt. I season with garlic powder, onion powder, and a bit of basil. 2. If you have time, brown the roast to sear in the flavors of the seasoning. 3. Substitute beef broth for the water. Try a low-sodium variant to go easy on the salt. 4. Try beefy onion soup mix instead of just onion soup.
