The best salads, in my opinion, don’t include lettuce. And don’t even get me started on roasted vegetables. Show me a pan of those, and there’s a good chance I’ll eat the entire sheet pan single handedly. <– that’s not a joke. This salad boasts tender, sweet & savory roasted vegetables, sweet cranberries, crispy chickpeas…

I dare you to make these and withhold from eating the entire pan. You might think you have enough will power to resist, but I wouldn’t be so sure. Believe me, I’m a girl who has a lot of willpower but with these bars, I feel a bit powerless. I’ve also made them for my…

Rosemary & Truffle Mustard Pork Loin (in the Slow Cooker!)
A super easy main dish recipe with 10 ingredients? Count me in. This pork is SO FLAVORFUL and I attribute a lot of that to the truffle mustard. The truffle mustard I used came from the little tourist town of Galena, IL from the Galena Canning Company (linked in the ingredients!). If you’ve never been…

This bread is SO TASTY. The texture is exactly what you hope for in zucchini bread…moist, tender and soft. It’s not quite ‘health food’, but it does use whole wheat flour and contains less oil and sugar than most zucchini bread recipes. Feel free to get creative with this recipe – throw in some chopped…
