This recipe was banging around in my head ever since I picked up the bone-in pork chops on sale at Whole Foods Saturday.

A quick update before we decide today if being gluten-free is ‘enough’! Since last post – I moved! I didn’t kill Drew or anyone else, although they likely wanted to end me at a few points along the way – but I’d say it was a reasonable success! We now live about 20 mins drive… [Read more…]

As we’ve been going through this 30 Day Challenge, different cravings have definitely come up…the 1st week, not having my little square of Dove dark chocolate was annoying. Week 2?
