Love that this is easy enough for a weeknight meal yet fancy enough for a special occasion >> Garlic Brown Sugar Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin
I made this slow cooker Texas style chili a few days ago and all of the non-picky / non-flu and strep-ridden members of our household loved it 🙃
These creamy white wine mushroom stuffed shells look AMAZING.
I want an enormous pizza salad now!
