Pork Chile Verde
This is one of my favorite dishes! It is warm and sunny, a perfect meal for a cold winter’s day. It is also a great meal if you are feeling under the weather or depressed because eating it just feels like home and happiness.

S’mores Cookie Bars
Earlier this summer, I had a hankering for S’mores. I did a quick internet search and chose to try this recipe for Chewy S’mores Bars from the Hershey website. These were such a big hit at work I had to make them twice in two weeks!
