"You can season them any which way, makes them a perfect pairing for just about any dish you can come up with. I’m a super huge fan of tossing them with taco seasoning and serving them on top of tacos/tostadas and though I always intend on topping leafy green salads with these crunchy little nuggets, but I often wind up eating the tray by the handful as a wildly addictive snack! They’re even great with soup! "  Comment from Peas and Crayons

I've been meaning to make these roasted chickpeas!

"I’ve always loved the flavors of a classic Boston cream pie, but I don’t love the fussy assembly. This Boston cream poke cake is the perfect compromise. By using a yellow cake mix for a foolproof base, I can put all my love into the silky, homemade pastry cream and rich chocolate ganache. It’s an easy, crowd-pleasing dessert that delivers those flavors I love without the stress."  Comment from Easy Dessert Recipes

Boston Cream pie is a long-time favorite and this version sounds as good as the original without having to make the cake from scratch.  Love it!

"One of Molly’s all-time-favorite dinners, this comforting hotdish is filled with tender veggies, chewy wild rice and savory shredded chicken — all topped with crunchy, buttery crackers. She uses a rotisserie chicken as a time-saving hack, making this a perfect meal for busy weeknights."  Comment from the Food Network

I love the use of wild rice in this recipe and that this can be a quick semi-homemade meal by using rotisserie chicken.

Cannoli Rangoons

"Crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, these cannoli rangoons are the most decadent cross between two of our favorite deep-fried dishes. "I could eat 57 of these," said recipe tester Craig Ruff.

While traditional Italian cannolis require homemade dough and metal molds, these short-cut treats use wonton wrappers for a shell that's extra crispy and easy-to-handle. The filling is creamy, sweet, and tangy—just like the classic cannoli flavors you love, but with a fun and delicious twist.

Best of all, this reinvented dessert is totally customizable to your cannoli preferences. "Pistachios lend a toothsome crunch, while chocolate chips are melty, cocoa-y, and sweet," said recipe creator Catherine Jessee."  Comment from All Recipes

These cannoli rangoons are a must try in my opinion!

Slow Cooker Creamed Corn

"Classic creamed corn can require a lot of work—removing kernels, extracting all the "milk" from the corn cobs, stirring and stirring some more to get that delicate, silky texture. You can get the same satisfaction with this slow-cooker creamed corn recipe, and you won't have to put in nearly as much effort. Creamy and buttery, this corn has a great balance of sweetness and salt, with a hint of tang from cream cheese.

Creamed corn works great in a slow cooker, as we aren’t looking for browning or evaporation. The low, slow method helps draw out the corn's natural juices and flavor. The sweetness of the corn really comes through, so you get that summery flavor but in a recipe that's made for the table year-round."  Comment from Southern Living

The addition of cream cheese convinced me I need to try this creamed corn which is one of my favorite foods.  And the slow cooking drawing out the natural sugar in corn is perfect.  I have made creamed corn from scratch many times and it is a lot of work.  This seems to be much easier.
