STRAWBERRY MOJITO
MAKES: 1 serving · PREP TIME: 5 minutes Mojitos just scream summer to me. My husband and I love to entertain at home, especially during the summer months. We quadruple this recipe and mix up a pitcher to enjoy with friends out on our back patio. These mojitos are...

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH PANCETTA
MAKES: 6 servings · PREP TIME: 10 minutes · COOK TIME: 10 minutes In case you aren’t familiar with pancetta, it is just Italian bacon. So if you can’t find it at your local grocery store, you can simply substitute regular bacon. This dish will still taste fantastic. I...

KALE AND CABBAGE CHOPPED SALAD
MAKES: 10 servings · PREP TIME: 15 minutes The heartiness of cabbage, kale, and Brussels sprouts makes this the perfect salad for weekly meal prep because it keeps in the refrigerator longer than a premade lettuce-based salad would. The natural bitterness of the kale...

SUGAR-FREE DRIED CRANBERRIES
