Slow Cooker Frittata
This slow cooker frittata is a great breakfast or brunch. I make my own Italian seasoning, but you can use store-bought. This is a vegetarian frittata, but add sausage, if you like.
Grilled Chicken Street Tacos
These chicken street tacos are easy to make with minimal cleanup. Grilling both the chicken and tortillas gives these tacos a nice, subtle smokiness. I like to double up the tortillas to make them easier to eat.
Cranberry Walnut Relish I
This is delicious yet easy to make. Best of all, it can be made several days ahead since it will keep for 3 weeks refrigerated or up to 3 months frozen.
