Pork roasts are more affordable than beef or chicken these days, so why not try this deliciously different recipe? Cranberry sauce is blended with herbs, spices, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce for a new taste sensation that pairs beautifully with the mild flavor of pork. Best of all, it cooks in the crockpot, so you are not heating up the kitchen nor tending a stove. The recipe is easily adaptable to just about any type of pork roast. I suggest using whole-berry cranberry sauce for texture and a more intense cranberry flavor.

Creamy, cheesy potatoes -- what's not to love? Change up your common potato side dish with these uncommonly good, yet easy, alfredo-style potatoes. Waxy potatoes are specified because they hold together better than russets or Idahos. Any waxy potato will do, such as Yukon Golds, Red Rose, new potatoes, or fingerlings. The entire recipe is made on the stove-top in about 30 minutes. Kids love these. I could eat the entire batch!
