Happy Friday! What are you up to this weekend? Any cooking in your near future? Here are a few ideas for things to make over the next few days:

* I made this slow cooker black garlic pork tenderloin the other day and am so glad I did. It’s a recipe from last year I keep going back to—so nice for cold days when you want some umami in your life.

*For whatever reason, I’ve found myself talking a lot about granola lately with Rise clients. While searching for recipes to pass on, I came across this great post from Gimme Some Oven with 15 Granola Recipes. I have a recipe for a chocolate coconut version you can try too.

Side note: I’ve also been on the lookout for helpful portion-control guides, and really liked this one.

* Ways to use leftover sweet potatoes from Food 52. Somehow sweet potatoes fell off my radar there for a bit, but they’re finally back. Just the other night, I had some with veggies, sausage, and an egg. Perfect weeknight dinner.

*It’s cold. Soup needs to happen.
