    1. The best thing about that stew is that it uses just 2 ingredients- chicken and onions! The onions turn into a delicious sauce after simmering in a slow cooker – will satisfy your onion freak side for sure!

  1. Oh my gosh…bagel sandwiches! I used to live off of bagel sandwiches when I was in college. I kid you not. Twice a day…and sometimes another for a snack. Haha! I totally need to make these bagel sandwiches and have a trip down memory lane!
