I loved Roast as a kid.  It was my favorite meal.

We don’t have a lot of roasts anymore because my husband is not a big meat eater.  Too bad, because they are yummy

I did experiment with a Pork Roast with Baked Apples recipes they other day and it came out well,  so I thought I would share it with you.  I did cook mine in an oven safe pan, if you don’t have one of these go ahead and transfer the Pork Roast with Baked Apples into an oven safe dish sprayed with cooking spray after you brown the sides in the pan.

Then make sure you check out all of our other recipes.

Wow.. I really loved these Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes.  I have been pondering this recipe for a long time, about 2 months.  When I was first going to make then I got sick.. so the ingredients just sat there and eventually got eaten for something else.

But I finally was able to make them for dinner the other night.  And boy, were they good!  We really love sweet potatoes around here so these Cheesy Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes with Bacon were a new taste treat.

I like to make popcorn for my girls lunches, its super cheap and I don’t have to worry about any funky ingredients I don’t want them to have.

I decided to make this “Cheesy” Taco Popcorn in order to mix it up for them, and they really liked it.

Keep in mind my recipe is not real cheese.. it’s Nutritional Yeast.  Never hear of it?  It’s great stuff.  It has a cheesy flavor so you can actually use it to replace cheese in some recipes (the other day I put it in a quiche I made and it did not need any cheese at all. It’s fun to sprinkle on popcorn all by itself or you can mix it into mayo for a unique sandwich spread..

2 tablespoons of Nutritional Yeast have 60 calories with 5 g of carbohydrates (4 g are fiber),  9 g of complete protein, nine amino acids, selenium and potassium and it has 35 to 100 percent of all of the B vitamins, except  B12.

See??.. good stuff   Now go get some and try this popcorn (in a pinch you could use powdered cheese.. but it has none of that good stuff).
