Prosciutto, Pear and Blue Cheese Sandwich

I know I’ve told you guys the components of my perfect salad, right? Fruit, candied nut, cheese, dried fruit, simple vinaigrette, and of course, greens. Delicious. Well it hadn’t occurred to me that you could scoop of all the deliciousness and put it on a sandwich. Easy enough, right? I just hadn’t thought of it. [...]

Pear and Prosciutto Pizza

I think everyone needs a good pizza dough recipe in their back pocket. So few ingredients and there really is a difference between the fresh stuff and the stuff you buy frozen/in cans. This is my particular go-to recipe that I have used so often that I have it memorized. Sometimes I’ve even double the [...]

Slow-Cooked Carnitas Tacos

In all honesty, I didn’t have high hopes for this recipe, but the reviews were so good I decided I should try it. I mean, c’mon, it’s only pork, salt, pepper, oregano and some onions. Pretty simple and cheap. So I dusted off our slow cooker (we were in a fight – it burned the [...]

Spice-Rubbed Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Baby Carrots

Oh the carrots in the recipes. . . so good. Not to say that the pork wasn’t good, but the carrots. . . they were the stars of this dish. It should be noted that they definitely do not need to be roasted as long as the recipe calls for. The carrots probably need about [...]
