A long-simmered stew, this Mexican-style easy pork posole stew recipe is quick and easy, thanks to canned hominy. Searing the pork loin in the pot before making the stew gives you a great base of flavors so the stew seems as if it indeed simmered all afternoon. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with warm tortillas on the side. Yum, yum, yum.

Sweet Potato Banana Pancakes
I fell in love with the sweet potato pancakes at Cracker Barrel. I decided to come up with my own healthier version. This sweet potato banana pancake recipe is what I put together, and it is a hit every single time I make it! Not only are the pancakes delicious, but they are also very good for you. Win-win! These pancakes are loaded with nutrition and taste delicious with pretty much any topping, so add the topping of your choice. I like honey, agave, or the maple agave syrup from Trader Joe's. Enjoy!
Oat-Free and Gluten-Free Granola Bars (Clean Eating)
This oat-free granola bar is an excellent substitute for the traditional granola bar if you are trying to avoid certain grains and processed sugars. After trying these, my husband refuses to eat traditional granola bars and begs me to keep them in stock in our freezer. This is also wonderful on top of ice cream or baked apples.
