Lean pork roast slow cooked with vegetables and apples in a sweet and savory maple balsamic sauce, this crock pot pork recipe is meat-and-potatoes comfort with a lighter seasonal touch. While we often think of the slow cooker first for tougher, fattier cuts of meat (like Slow Cooker Pulled Pork), it can also work famously with leaner cuts, including Crock Pot Pork Chops and today’s tender pork loin. Tuck some seasonal vegetables in with the meat—I opted for crockpot pork roast with potatoes and carrots, plus apples for good autumn measure—and you have an all-in-one, make-ahead dinner that can do so many things....

There’s even an app that will tell you how long you have to wait before you can get your Dole Whip fix....

Growing up, my Grammy made us the most ethereal strawberry shortcake every Fourth of July. We’d add blueberries and whipped cream for a patriotic red-white-and-blue look, then climb on top of her roof to watch fireworks light the sky all across the city.

FavoritePinShare Grilled cheese is always a hit at our house! Especially loved by the picky 5 year old. I had some leftover Pillsbury biscuit dough, so I thought of this idea to stuff them with cheese and create a pull apart grilled cheese. The first time I made them, they failed. The tops were cooked but the bottoms weren’t. I was determined to get it right. I changed the pan so that that they would cook evenly the second time around....

When I posted these Healthy Pumpkin Cookies last week, I was hesitant to fully embrace pumpkin season and the thicker sweaters that come with it. Buuuuut after I shopped ransacked Trader Joe’s, where the festive fall foods were out in full form (check my Instagram “Favorites” highlight for the haul), I went from pumpkin prudent to pumpkin palooza.
