Can you imagine how m...

Slow-cooker meals begin to top the dinner menu lists in many area kitchens. Lise’s Salsa Chicken, a recipe I received from Lise Ott in Irby, is super easy, and depending on the chicken cuts you use, and the size of your family, you will have planned-overs for additional meals. Enchilada’s, Posole Soup and chimichangas are just a few of the...
