Are You a Compulsive Spender?



Everyone deals with stress in different ways. Some people exercise or turn to food, while others spend money.

Like eating or gambling, shopping can become a compulsion—even an addiction. Are your spending habits are out of control? Take this assessment and find out.

Chef Meg's (Leftover) Chicken Tostada
Submitted By: CHEF_MEG

Tostada means toasted in Spanish, and in this simple recipe, Chef Meg takes her Slow Cooker Provencal Chicken and Beans leftovers and makes a crunchy, crispy, chewy, cheesy tostada for a quick weeknight supper.
