Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Maple-Glazed Apples
Pork tenderloin is one of my favorite meats to work with because it makes quick and easy meals after a long day of work that seem decadent. Once you sear the pork, it only takes a little more time in the oven. You can also do a lot of things with pork tenderloin whether you…
Crock Pot Chili with Quinoa and Sweet Potatoes
I’m all about my crock pot. If I could marry it, I would. It saves me so much time when I get home from work. If you don’t have one, ask for one for Christmas. You need one. This recipe was a little hot! I’m not a big fan of spicy, but this was definitely…

I’m 90% sure this meal was inspired by Tasty and I probably saw it on a Facebook video. I’m always looking for new ways to be creative with recipes I’ve eaten my whole life. My mom has always cooked very Italian, so we’ve always eaten a lot of chicken parm, pasta, etc. She even used…
