Slow Cooked Southwest Chicken Stew

Slow Cooked Southwest Chicken StewOnly 1/2 hour of prep time and the cooking skills of opening cans gets you out of the kitchen in no time and enjoying a fantastic dinner later on. Garnish with sour creme, tortilla chips and cilantro, and no one will ever know you opened a few cans to make this dish.

I got this recipe from Valerie Magoaoy as it was passed around at Costco in 2010.

Butternut Squash Soup (with Pears and Bacon)

Butternut Squash SoupA creamy soup great for the fall when the nights first get cold.

I used to make this every year in September or October. Then I got married and had children. I still crave it every year. We served this at our pear event with Dinner Club too.

And no, that photo’s not from my recipe. But it sure looks good and it may entice you to try making mine.
