MinnesotaWife rated and reviewed the recipe Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Fajitas

"These have been a regular in our rotation for years. It is so easy to throw together before work. I use homemade taco seasoning instead of packaged fajita seasoning--it's more cost effective and cuts down on the sodium. I also use mango peach salsa. Yum! I recently made this for my sister, who didn't even sit at the dining table: she stood at the kitchen counter right next to the slow cooker, and kept re-filling her plate until she ate 4 helpings!"

MinnesotaWife rated and reviewed the recipe Oreo Balls

"These are my favorite no-bake treats. They are very tasty, and always seem to disappear when I bring them to parties. However, I think this recipe asks you to jump through some unnecessary hoops. I just crush the whole package of oreos (outside and filling together), then mix the crumbs with the cream cheese. Don't worry about seperating the filling from the outside of the cookies--they'll taste just as good, and you'll save yourself some hassel."

MinnesotaWife rated and reviewed the recipe Black-and-White Truffles

"This is my favorite no-bake recipe. Like kallen, I omit the almond bark from the inner mixture. Also, one package of almond bark is MORE than enough for the whole batch, no need to buy two. I prefer chocolate almond bark, then swirling the tops with melted white chocolate chips. If I don't have the chips to decorate the truffles, I reserve a small amount of Oreo crumbs before adding the cream cheese, and sprinkle the crumbs on top of the truffles after rolling them in the almond bark. These are easy to make, and ideal for cookies exchanges because they can be divided up and transported easily!"

MinnesotaWife rated and reviewed the recipe Thai-Style Coconut Chicken

"I have made this recipe for years, and it's wonderful. It's fresh and fragrant, and unlike anything else I make. I love to make it for guests. My tip: do not use lite or low-fat coconut milk. It makes the dish watery. Regular coconut milk makes the sauce creamier and more flavorful."

MinnesotaWife rated and reviewed the recipe Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili with Hominy

"This is our favorite chili in my house. We make it at least once every few weeks. We love it with a dollop of sour cream, or sprinkled with cheese. And, as with most chilies, it's even better the next day!"
