Pork chop/252 recipes

Forget the store-bought granola bars that are always way too sweet and not necessarily as healthy as you think. Making your own is always the way to go, these granol bars are made with almonds, almond butter, chocolate and oats; absolutely easy to make, and they can be a filling, nutritious and delicious grab-n-go breakfast or a handy snack.

Great for breakfast or anytime with a hot cup of java.

I have to say that these bars were so delicious, crunchy texture with sweet-slightly sour and nutty flavor. Packed with goodness and yumminess. Not only kids love them, grown-ups also can't have enough.

Homemade mild Chorizo sausage.

An easy savory pot roast for your slow cooker. Cooked with carrots, potatoes and garlic with horseradish. Truly a one pot main dish for dinner.

Whole roasting a chicken is a great way to economize. This herb roasted chicken always turns out moist and juicy with great flavor. I then package the leftover meat one cup at a time into zipper bags and store in the freezer for later use in casseroles or hashes. Then using the remains I made a homemade chicken stock that is much better than any store bought stock.

Refreshing lime cilantro sour cream dip is great with some baked sweet potato wedges.

Very simple and tasty vegetarian wrap.

Even if you don't like eggplant, you will love this dish. Roasting develops huge amount of flavor and gets rid of most of the moisture from the vegetables. Roasted garlic just adds more yumminess. A delicious pasta dish that can be served as a side dish or a vegetarian main course.

Honey, butter, lemon juice, salt and pepper, these a few ingredients create a tasty, sweet and buttery glazed mini carrots.

Brussels sprouts, steamed just until crisp tender and tossed in a creamy bacon and horseradish sauce.

Cheesy polenta topped with eggs and a bit of Italian or Turkey sausage, perfect for a Sunday brunch. Any cheese could be used but my favorite is Fontina or an old flavor filled cheddar. Similar to sausage, eggs and potato but much healthier with perfect matching of flavors. Very easy to halve the recipe along with pictures.

A hearty vegetarian version of my favorite soup. It's easy to make it vegetarian by using roasted vegetable stock instead of beef stock. By adding a leftover parmesan rind (I save them in the freezer for this soup) it adds extra flavor. (optional)

With a bit of dry sherry, this pasta dish is perfect for a date or a night with your significant other.
