Shredded Tri-Tip for Tacos in the Slow Cooker
This is a recipe I created by marrying two together. You can make it as spicy as you like by adding jalapenos or other chiles. I tried it first on my co-workers and there was nothing left! Then I made it for my family and they loved it, too. My Hispanic co-workers really liked it, so I guess I passed the 'test!'

Apple Dump Cake
This apple dump cake was one of the first things I made when I was learning to bake, and I still make it for parties. It calls for just three ingredients, is super quick and easy to make, and is a real crowd-pleaser. A dollop of vanilla ice cream tops it very well.
