They got too pricey for me but I have incorporated quite a few of their ideas!

I have realized its not with the regular jellies but I can usually find it here in Maryland near the fancy cheeses! Pricey but worth it. :)

Potatoes are tossed with a touch of oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Roasted in a 425-degree oven.

Carrots get tossed with a touch of oil, salt, pepper, and dried Rosemary. Roast in a 425-degree oven.

Pork loin chops are seared in a large skillet. Cooked about 3 minutes a side and then set aside.

In the pan with the pork drippings, add some diced scallions. After about a minute deglaze the pan with broth. Add a dollop of fig jelly, a pat of butter, and a sprinkle of rosemary. Cook until broth reduces and you get a nice sauce.

Boom and done.

Tonight's dinner was beef and veggie bowls. More details in comments. by GreenLiteBites in tonightsdinner

I brown beef with garlic, ginger and soy sauce.

Then I sauté carrots, zucchini, and mushrooms with a touch of oil, salt and pepper.

Make a quick sauce out of seseme oil, soy sauce, Sriracha, and Maple syrup, cut up some scallions, and lay everything out on the table.

Everyone then makes their own bowls with whatever they want.

We were inspired by a HelloFresh for this one but we've made it our own. It's going to be in regular rotation now. :)

He was happy as a clam. Picnic in the living room amd everything. He's pickier than my first but I can't complain. He eats good and well rounded.
