Two-Ingredient "I Have No Time for Dinner" Green Enchilada Chicken
I feel slightly naughty putting 'this' type of recipe on here. Seriously? Two ingredients? From a CAN!?! I feel like I should turn in my foodie card (along with my Aleppo pepper, microplane grater and my great-grandmother's brisket roasting pan). I feel like the Canal House will call me up and cancel my subscription on principle. But I'm doing it anyway. This is seriously the easiest and best tasting chicken recipe that I've ever made that can be executed flawlessly every time AND can be done during soccer season. On a Tuesday. When one child has strep. And the husband is TDY. Born of desperation, a lack of anything resembling fresh ingredients in my fridge and an alarming lack of pride on my part. High gourmet food this is not. But it tastes great and is a snap to slap together. And if your life is anything like my life it will quickly turn into a mid-week staple.

No Knife Necessary Brisket
My mom's best friends came up with this recipe and it was passed to me when I moved away for college. This brisket is tender and juicy that it falls apart with a fork.

Very Slow Roasted Pork Shoulder
One of the least safe things you can do is leave your oven on overnight. But doing so makes for an amazing pulled pork. Plus you awake to the wondrous aroma of slow roasted pork. (Alternatively, you can put it in the oven in the morning and eat it for dinner.) This can be eaten on its own, or as a sandwich with barbecue sauce, or in stir fry. Be creative!

Slow-Cooker Cassoulet
Many look down their noses at the slow cooker, but it's perfect for some dishes. Stews, for one. This sausage, duck and white bean stew is rich and hearty, and you can leave the dish wholly unattended for five to seven hours as it cooks. Brown the meat before you put it in the pot or not.

Crock Pot Vegetable Stock
In an effort to eat better, and maybe stock up on some winter soups, I present to you this vegetable stock. It’s made in a crock pot, and it couldn’t be easier. I always keep a sealable baggie full of vegetable scraps in my freezer, and recently my brother, Dane, called me to ask how to make vegetable stock from a similar baggie of vegetables that he had in his freezer. This reminded me that my bag was pretty much full, from carrot peels, onion butts and leftover pieces of zucchini, broccoli, garlic and whatever else I happened to throw in there, so it was time for me to make stock, too. It really doesn’t matter what vegetables you have, as long as you can fill up a 1 gallon baggie of whatever it is. Just toss it all in the crock pot (no need to thaw it out), add a bay leaf and 8 to 10 cups of water, then let it simmer on low for 8-10 hours (or on high for 4-5 hours, but I prefer the flavors of a low, slow stock). The color and texture of your stock will vary depending on what you have in your crock pot. For example, I had a few leftover bits of purple carrot in my stock, so it was a lovely dark brown color. The longer you let your stock bubble away for, the darker it will be, so consider that when you make yours. You can certainly make this in a stock pot on the stove, if you like – just bring it to a simmer, cover and allow it to cook for 3 hours or so. I do think that the crock pot is the best way to go about it, though, and considering how easy and waste-free the method is, I don’t see why everyone wouldn’t try it!
