Paella

 My wife tried a new Paella recipe yesterday and it was really good. The peas did a surprisingly amount of brightness.

Beef Dip

 This was very good. We didn't go full Philly cheesesteak but just a basic but really good beef dip. Jenn used the recipe below which is a keeper.

Creamy Garlic Bacon Chicken Thighs

 My wife successfully tried another recipe this past week. It was good enough to make it to the blog. The flavor that is developed in the sauce had a nice depth. We did not use chicken thighs as they were too expensive shockingly so we used some chicken breast we already had in the freezer.

Slow Cooker Minestrone Soup

 I have been wanting to make a minestrone soup all winter long. I finally was organized enough come grocery shopping day to get all the ingredients. I did not use the vegetables that I did not like from the following recipe but it turned out pretty good. I used a few too many crushed tomatoes, otherwise I would use this recipe again: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/230298/slow-cooker-vegetarian-minestrone/

Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff

 My wife has been experimenting with some new recipes to try during the cold Calgary months. This one is a winner! The cremini mushrooms hold up their firm texture in the crockpot and the Greek yogurt gives it an unexpected acidic/sour note that I enjoy. Give this one a try: https://www.wellplated.com/slow-cooker-beef-stroganoff/
