Balsamic Glazed Pork Tenderloin (Slow Cooker)
What it is: A slow cooker recipe that’s delicious, easy, and requires very little hands-on time. What it isn’t: Soup, stew, shredded, or fatty. There isn’t even a sautéing step! Such recipes are elusive, to say the least. No matter why you love your slow cooker, this dish, which I’ve adapted ever-so-slightly from Let’s Dish,…
Roasted Turnips With Dill and Caraway
The things we do for love. Like, grow turnips! I’ve mentioned before that I grew up thinking I didn’t like them. Thing is, it was a “didn’t like” that was based on precisely zero experience. Not the kind of thing a sciency person such as I likes to admit, maybe, but I was just a…

Angry Shrimp
You’re definitely going to want to try this flavor explosion of a one-one-bowl dinner! Probably not on a weeknight after a long day of work, but maybe on game night so you can eat it in front of the TV. Maybe the next time Syracuse plays Pitt in men’s basketball. I always get angry during…
