Simply Parfait…a Summer Parfait

There is nothing better than simple and nothing sweeter than “in season” fruit. This recipe is as simple as they come which is great for meal prep or right on the spot! I like to make these with different types of fruit especially fruit that is ripe in its season. These are great even if you don’t have fresh or seasonal fruit on hand, but have a fruit jam or even frozen fruit. This is a sweet and protein packed breakfast for those “on the go mornings”. The crunch of the granola is a nice complement to the creamy yogurt and fruit. I also love using a Ball Jar to showcase how lovely the layers turn out, but you could always use a container that you have on hand. I hope you enjoy this simple summer or anytime recipe!

Steakhouse Pork Medallions with Strawberry Bacon Sauce

This was an instant hit at our house for a delicious dinner. This is an easy 30 minute meal that is sure to please the whole family. Weeknight meals are slowly becoming a specialty of mine as we navigate school, work and after school activity schedules. Since we have a busy weekly schedule I want fast, easy and delicious meals that I know my whole family will enjoy. Plus having time in the kitchen after a stressful workday can be therapeutic for the soul. Last night I decided to make a fast sauce for our pork tenderloin. The sauce was fragrant, tasty and not to mention ridiculously easy! It also gave some depth to the whole dish by stepping up the pork. I am happy to share this quick and easy recipe and as always, I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
