Crispy, crunchy and oh, so delicious, breaded chicken tenders are paired with two sauces: a Southwest-inspired dip and a sweet and spicy sauce flavored with peach preserves. Serve these at your next sports party or casual gathering of friends and family.

Inspired by an Epicurious.com recipe for short ribs, this dish features a complex flavor profile — spiciness from chiles, bitterness from coffee, slight sweetness from maple syrup and acidity from lime juice. Flavors blend together in a warming and delicious symphony of taste. The slow cooking brings the brisket to the peak of tenderness. Serve brisket over a bed of mashed potatoes or polenta, and it's also good with crispy smashed potatoes on the side. Shred leftovers for taco filling or add to mac and cheese for a second tasty meal.

This hearty wintertime soup is flavored with cumin and your favorite salsa. Kielbasa sausage adds a hint of spice and the addition of black beans gives this soup a chili-like consistency. Enjoy with a dollop of sour cream on top.
