Moroccan Chicken Burgers with Feta and Carrot Slaw

These were pretty good.  Easy to make with a food processor.  I honestly don't know what I'd do without it.

Chicken Salad with Carrots, based on this

So I simplified this a lot and then instead of grating new carrots, I added the leftover slaw and a few other things.  It was not the best I've done, but wasn't bad.

Golden Onion burgers, based on this

I added the last of the Harissa that was in the cupboard to the meat to spice it up and some salt and pepper.  it made for a good quick dinner.  Had the onions going in one pan, put fries in the oven and prepped the beef before cooking it off.  With the timing everything came together at almost exactly the same time.

Mac & Cheese with Ham & Peas

So with the free ham (certificate) from work that I already broke down into usable pieces, I took out a bag of 3 hunks and chopped up 2 of the hunks added some peas to the doubled mildly modified Alton Brown baked mac and cheese recipe.  I swapped the paprika, which I didn't happen to have on hand for some reason.  I added about the same amount of the jalapeno powder.

Pork Belly Tacos

These didn't turn out how I envisioned.  Still good, though.  The Pork Belly / Fresh Side was already sliced and so I couldn't get the size of the lardons that I wanted, because I was already limited by the slices.  That being said, it still cooked up well and tasted pretty good.  I had mine with some of the normal toppings and some of the Harry Hotter sauce from Juan's which perked everything right up.  On a side note, the Kalona's sour cream is amazing.

For New Years I also broke out the Goat Cheese Brie and made some Cheddar and Horseradish spread (using Prairie Breeze)
