Korean Beef Tacos with Cucumber Slaw

How often do you use your crockpot? A while back, mine actually broke.

Marinated Artichokes

We’re big artichoke fans. Whether we’re eating them in pasta, a warm bubbly dip, straight out of the colander while draining, or picked off the salad on my plate when I’m not looking (Don’t think I don’t notice!). Big fans.
