Black Beans and Rice
Black beans and rice make a great 30-minute vegetarian meal that's filling, delicious, and cheap! Great as a side dish or in a burrito bowl, too.
Quick Savory Cranberry Glazed Pork Loin Roast
This simple, 1-hour roast is our favorite Christmas dish and voted most likely to be served if the President were to drop in for dinner- LOL! I love serving this entree because it causes me NO stress and everyone raves over it. While the pork is roasting, make another batch of the cranberry glaze to serve in a gravy boat alongside the sliced pork roast. For food safety, the new batch should not be prepared in same pan as the first if you have been basting directly out of the saucepan. If you basted out of another dish, you can use the same pan.
Zesty Turkey Burgers
Turkey burgers with a bit of zest. Great on buns or plain.
