Mint and chocolate is probably my favorite chocolate-related flavor combination. Peppermint patties, Thin Mints, mint chocolate chip ice cream…those are just a few of my weaknesses. Also, the holiday season and wintery weather only makes me crave these treats even more… With yesterday deemed a snow day, I decided to bake up a storm and create these divine mint chocolate cookies.
Pork is usually my go to lean protein. It is affordable, tasty, an enjoyable break from chicken, and it is a great base for a myriad of flavors. I am always on the lookout for new pork dishes, and when I saw this recipe for a Pork Tenderloin with Cilantro and Date Relish on Bon Appétit, I knew it would be amazing. Simplicity that yields rewarding flavors is something I look for.
