Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

1 small red bell pepper, chopped

4 c. chicken stock
4 c. whole milk whole milk
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 small head broccoli, cut into small florets (about 4 cups)
8 oz. extra-sharp cheddar cheese, grated (about 2 cups)
Sliced fresh chives, for garnish
DIRECTIONS
Cook pasta according to package directions; set aside.
Season chicken with salt and pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through, 6 to 9 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate.
Reduce heat to medium. Add onion, bell pepper, and remaining 3 tablespoons butter to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Slowly stir in stock, then milk and mustard. Simmer until thickened, about 7 to 8 minutes.

December: Cornflake Wreath Christmas Cookies Recipe
Wreath Cookie
Ingredients
4 cups marshmallows
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon green food coloring
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
4 cups cornflake cereal
2 ¼ ounces red hot candy
Directions:
Step 1: Place the marshmallows and butter in a large bowl. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Remove from microwave and stir. Microwave on high for two minutes or until completely melted.
Step 2: Add the green food coloring, vanilla, and almond extract; stir until the marshmallow mixture is smooth.
Step 3: Add the cornflakes to the bowl and gently stir to coat the cereal evenly with the marshmallow mixture.
Step 4: Shape the Christmas Cookie Wreaths around a round cutter on a baking sheet. Remove round cutter, and place red hot candy. Let cool.
Tips for Making Cornflake Wreath Christmas Cookies with Kids: To successfully make Cornflake Wreath Cookies with kids, use mini marshmallows, which will melt faster than the jet-puffed variety. Add small amounts of cereal to the marshmallow mixture at a time to ensure an even coating. Your kids can do the mixing—just be sure they stir gently to avoid breaking up the cereal too much. To keep the gooey cornflake mixture from sticking to the cookie cutter, spray the exterior of the cookie cutter with a non-stick cooking spray, such as PAM. Learn more.

With just a little bit of initial effort you can leave the pork shoulder to slowly and gently cook throughout the day. Then, you'll come home to the most fragrant and tender piece of meat all with very little effort. The spiced garlicky herb sauce is absolutely heavenly and will make this the best pork shoulder of your life. Is there a better self gift out there!?
For serving, we'd recommend some crispy roast potatoes and a bright, leafy sautéed green like Swiss chard. Or you could just stand in front of the fridge at midnight and eat this delicious roast cold out of the tupperware.
YIELDS: 10 - 12 SERVINGS, PREP TIME: 0 HOURS 20 MINS, TOTAL TIME: 8 HOURS 20 MINS
INGREDIENTS
1 boneless, skinless pork shoulder, Boston butt about 6lbs
20 cloves garlic
1/2 c. olive oil, divided
2 tsp. cumin
2 tbsp. salt
1 tbsp. black pepper
3 tbsp. oregano leaves
1/2 c. fresh squeezed orange juice

1 serrano, seeded, and diced
1/4 c. freshly chopped fresh cilantro
White rice, for serving, optional
DIRECTIONS: Dry pork shoulder with a paper towel and make 1” incisions with a knife all over.
Pulse garlic, ¼ cup oil, cumin, salt, pepper, and oregano in a food processor until a paste is formed. Remove 2 tablespoons of the paste and set aside.
Rub pork shoulder all over with remaining paste, pushing some of it into the incisions.
Place pork in slow cooker, cover, and cook on low until meat is fork-tender but not yet completely falling apart, 7 1/2 to 8 hours.
To make the sauce, heat remaining ¼ cup oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add reserved 2 tablespoons garlic paste and let sizzle, stirring continuously until fragrant, just about 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool before whisking in orange juice, lime juice, serrano, and cilantro.
Serve sliced pork over rice with sauce drizzled on top.
