INSTRUCTIONS:
Combine all the ingredients into a large pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Lower the heat and let simmer for 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm with lime wedges, shredded cheese, and tortilla chips.
Instructions:
Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Salt it generously.
Zest the lemon with a Microplane grater or zester (no white pith). Squeeze the lemon and measure out 2 tablespoons of juice.
Combine the oil and lemon zest in a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring now and again, for a couple of minutes, until the zest starts to sizzle gently.
Stir in the cream and increase the heat to medium-high. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 3 minutes, until the cream is heated through. Then whisk in the lemon juice, one tablespoon at a time, to form a thickened sauce. Turn off the heat and cover to keep warm.
Finely chop the parsley and basil; you should end up with about a tablespoon of each.
Add the spaghettini to the boiling water, reduce the heat to medium-high and cook according to the package directions (for al dente). Watch closely, as this thin spaghetti cooks quickly. Drain in a colander set in the sink, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
Return the pasta to the pot, then pour the sauce over it. Toss gently to combine. Stir in the cheese, herbs and a few grindings of black pepper. Add a splash or two of cooking water, as needed, to loosen the sauce. Toss once more, then divide among individual bowls, and serve with additional cheese.

CROCKPOT CHICKEN AND STUFFING
Submitted by Trena Wallace
Serves 2-3
Instructions:
Grease the crockpot bottom with butter. Put the chicken breasts in the crockpot. Pour the entire contents of the dry stuffing mix over the chicken breasts. Mix together the broth and the soup, then pour it all over the stuffing and chicken. Give everything a stir to mix at all together.
Cook on high for 3 1/2 hours.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 325ºF (160ºC).
Microwave the potatoes for 1-1 ½ minutes, then leave in the microwave for a few minutes to cool down and soften. Insert a wooden skewer into the bottom of each potato and gently push it all the way through the top. Working in a spiral motion from one side to the other, hold a sharp, thin knife at an angle and cut in the opposite direction you are turning the skewered potato, cutting all the way down to the skewer. Take your time and work to make thin, even spiral all the way down the potato.
Gently fan out each potato down the length of the skewer, until you have even gaps between the slices. Brush the melted butter all over the potatoes.
In a medium bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Place each skewered potato over the bowl and sprinkle half of the spice mixture over each potato until they are entirely coated. Carefully set the potatoes on a baking pan, letting the skewers rest on sides of the pan so that the potatoes are suspended.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until nicely browned. Garnish with additional Parmesan and parsley. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Mix all ingredients together (except the pie crust) and whip until quite thick. Pour mix into the pie crust. Refrigerate until cold. You may also, if you wish, buy an extra tub of cool whip and spread a layer on top.
