Add cabbage, carrot, and onion. Cover and refrigerate for a day before use. You could also transfer to mason jars. Slaw will last refrigerated up to a week.

Chicken breasts, which I cut in half to make them less thick Softened cream cheese Crumbled feta Chopped spinach, sauteed in olive oil with minced garlic and diced red onion Salt and pepper Diced squash Chimichurri seasoning Puff pastry cut into squares and scored, not all the way through!

Place the scored puff pastry squares on the sheet pan. Back together in the oven about 12 minutes.  The ...
