Cream Cheese Rotel Dip

"This cream cheese Rotel dip is a classic Rotel dip made in a slow cooker to keep it warm and scoopable for hours. It’s my go-to for game day, potlucks, and last-minute guests because it’s dump-and-melt easy."  Comment from The Shortcut Kitchen

Looks like an awesome dip that I can't wait to try!

Company Chicken

"It's hard to believe this cozy, flavorful company chicken recipe calls for just 10 ingredients. A little pouch of Italian dressing mix coats the chicken in flavor, while tender mushrooms absorb the flavors of a well-balanced, aromatic, slightly tangy wine sauce.

The piece de resistance is heavy cream, which adds a velvety texture to the simple wine sauce, making for a company-pleasing dish every time."  Comment from Southern Living

I'm glad to have another chicken recipe that looks like a winner!

"Perfectly seasoned with some hearty veggies to beef it up (pun intended), these steak carnitas bring some serious flavor to all your favorite Tex-Mex dishes, including tacos as well as quesadillas, nachos, and big-as-your-face burritos. Plus, this recipe is flexible. For real — I’ve used this method and spice rub on elk steaks, pork chops, and lamb, and it goes well on all the things. Just give it a try for yourself to see what I mean!"  Comment from Bless This Mess Please

This recipe sounds delicious!  I have not made Tex-Mex dishes in a long time, but I'd love to try this recipe out for something different.

"If you typically buy bagged greens, you've probably had the unfortunate experience of finding wilted, slimy leaves in the bag just a few days after purchasing. We consulted food professionals to find out how to keep the bagged leaves fresh long enough to reach your plate."  Comment from Martha Stewart.com

While I understand that buying bagged greens don't stay fresh, I buy enough to know when I will be consuming them.  But I will take some of the advise in the article.  I must admit that it is a very frustrating thing.
