This slow cooker pork, apples, and sauerkraut dish is traditionally served on New Year's Day in central Pennsylvania. The apple and onion in this recipe are surprisingly good and work magic together.

Tuna Fish Patties
This is a great recipe I came up with to get rid of leftover bread. I generally use the contents of my vegetable drawer here so I kind of throw in whatever I have at the time, so you can use your own judgment. They taste really nice when eaten with sour cream or low-fat mayo or even on their own - though my husband prefers ketchup. I generally use this recipe as a guideline, so have fun with it!
