Slower cooker pulled chicken
Place skinless, bone-in chicken pieces over bed of sliced sweet or white onions in slow cooker. Salt and pepper chicken and add one bottle of your favorite barbecue sauce. Cook for 6-8 hours on low. Shred chicken with a fork and discard bones. Top with additional barbecue sauce. Serve on biscuits or buns. This also makes a great pizza topping, quesadilla add-in or nacho topping and freezes well.
Tip: You can use any white or dark meat. The barbecue sauce makes it. So pick one that you love or make your own.

Oven-baked meatballs in mini muffin tins keep their shape. This method was new to me, but the meatballs turned out really well. 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through.

Insalata di frutti di mare
Italian seafood salad with shrimp, calamari (squid), and baby octopus. The court bouillon is for poaching the shrimp and squid. A mixture of dry white wine, water, peppercorn, bay leaf, carrots and celery, the shrimp is simmered until opaque (4 minutes) and the squid for 3 minutes. The octopus is boiled separately for 40 minutes until fork tender. Everything is dressed with minced garlic, salt, red wine vinegar, and olive oil. Fresh chopped parsley, black olives julienned bell pepper, red onion and celery make this salad colorful and crunchy.

My favorite place: Fairway Market. There is something about a wall of honey and olives that makes me giddy. I picked up octopus, shrimp, squid and mussels for my frutti di mare (seafood) salad for Christmas Eve dinner.
