Meal Prep & Leftover Tips
Roasted Pork Tenderloin: Remove the silverskin before anything else: That thin, shiny membrane running along the tenderloin will turn tough and chewy when it cooks. Slide a sharp knife just under it and peel it away.
Blueberry Vinaigrette: Swap in raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries to change things up.
Boursin Mashed Potatoes: You can make these ahead, and they reheat beautifully. Warm slowly over low heat on the stovetop, stirring gently with a bit more butter or milk if too thick.
Crock Pot Maple Bacon Green Beans: Cook on LOW so the beans get tender and soak up flavor without falling apart. In a hurry? Start on HIGH for an hour, then switch to LOW to finish.
Pecan Pie Bars: Overbaking can dry the filling, so keep a close eye on it during the last few minutes. The filling should be set around the edges but slightly jiggle in the center. It will firm up as it cools.
Big Pigs in a Blanket: Add a strip of cheese before rolling, or if you like heat, use jalapeño cheddar sausage or serve with a spicy mustard.
Sunshine Fruit Salad: Use blueberries, blackberries, peaches, apples, pineapple, oranges, mango, mandarin oranges, fresh herbs like mint, and a splash of lemon juice, lime juice, vanilla, maple syrup, or sugar.
Scalloped Potatoes And Ham: Add shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or Gruyère on top before baking for a melty, golden finish. Skip the ham and add veggies like broccoli, carrots, or mushrooms.
