Mediterranean Chicken Skillet
A few weeks ago, I bought a big pack of bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. I typically grab a pack of the boneless, skinless version, but these were much cheaper.

I will gladly choose a breakfast burrito or bacon and eggs above a plate of pancakes anyday. I make sweet breakfasts for my husband all the time. He enjoys eating oatmeal before… Continue reading Strawberry Chocolate Chip Protein Pancake Bites

I haven't been using pork much lately and I don't know why. I love pork. It's ranked right up there with chicken in terms of meat entrees.

I spotted a massive pack of pork chops (6 pounds!!!) at Costco the other… Continue reading Roasted Pork Bites with Red Pepper Sauce
