Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup
I guess I am just a wuss. This was waaaaaaay too hot for my taste. I used Bill Echols Taco Seasoning from this site like others suggested. I loved the flavor and textures, but can't enjoy it because of the heat. I will make this again, but I will leave out the red pepper flakes from the taco seasoning and only use one can of diced tomatoes with green chiles.

Spaghetti Carbonara II
WOW! What a great alternative to your typical spaghetti. My very picky husband gobbled it up. Mine was not dry though, like other people mentioned. But I made a couple changes, so not sure if that is why it didn't dry out. Since I was only cooking for two, I only used half a box of spagheetti. I also tempered my egg by bringing them to room temperature before beating and slowly adding bacon grease to the eggs. I also did not add the eggs to the noodles in a hot pan, so my eggs did not scramble. I also added frozen petite peas. Good luck, as there is a little bit of technique required for this so as not to scramble your sauce.

Buffalo Chicken Chili
This is a good alternative to beef chili, but needs some work. I just won best overall at a chili cookoff at work, which surprised me a little. Next time, I will use shredded chicken as well for a different texture and thicken it a bit. This was a bit runny. Plus, it is a little too tomatoey. I also added more heat by adding diced jalapenos. I will make it again, but work with it to try to make it taste more like buffalo chicken.
