Garlic Rubbed Pork Tenderloin and Roasted Summer Squash

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010

Another simple and tasty dinner tonight. I preheated the oven to 425 degrees F, sliced up about 3 pounds of romanesco summer squash into 3/4 inch thick rounds, sprinkled them with kosher salt and black pepper and popped them in the oven. I then made a rub from ...

Tomato and Olive Stuffed Pork Tenderloin

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

Another variation on stuffed pork, this version incorporates tomatoes. It came out quite well and was a satisfying dinner with some green salad and fresh corn on the cob. Even shipped all the way out here, Olathe corn is the best! Tomato and Olive Stuffed Pork Tenderloin Serves 4 2 pork ...

Herb Rubbed Pork Ribs with Cherry Zinfandel Barbecue Sauce

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

Tonight's dinner came from the pages of Sunset. I used frozen cherries in the sauce and omitted the mustard, and cut both recipes by about 1/3 to go with the one rack of ribs that I had. I thought this was just okay, kinda greasy, and Shaun didn't ...

This was a great easy meal! I used eggs and potatoes from my CSA boxes with some thinly sliced pork chops to make a balanced meal with the side of green salad we had. Breakfast Skillet Serves 4 1 lb meat of your choice, cut into small bite sized pieces (I used ...

Braised Kale and Bacon

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

This recipe is inspired by many similar ones out there. Many of them include onion, which I didn't bother with. I added more garlic instead :-D Be sure you use low sodium chicken broth. I didn't, and it was rather salty. Other than that, ...

Island Spiced Pork Tenderloin and Sauteed Fava Beans

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

Tonight's dinner was Island Spiced Pork Tenderloin, from Annie's Eats, sauteed fava beans, and a quick green salad. The pork tenderloin was okay, but if I make it again, I'll cut down on the cinnamon. It just wasn't quite what I was wanting, but it certainly has potential. ...

Pork Summer Rolls

Friday, June 18th, 2010

These are a light and flavorful appetizer or meal for the summer. I used leftover pork tenderloin from last night, but you can make these with more traditional steamed shrimp or with just veggies, or with whatever makes you happy. The wrappers can be found in the Asian ...

Hoisin Bourbon Pork Tenderloin

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

This was a pretty tasty take on pork that was inspired by a similar recipe from Cooking Light. It was a bit heavy on the hoisin and light on the bourbon, so I think next time I'll cut down the hoisin by half, double the bourbon, and use this ...

Grilled Buffalo Bacon Burgers

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

This was a tasty and easy summer meal for a lovely sunny day :-) Doing the low carb thing, we used lettuce for our buns, which worked out very nicely. We didn't miss the bread at all, which was a very pleasant surprise. ...

A Hearty Lunch

Monday, May 31st, 2010

This was going to be dinner last night, but we ended up just foraging for some snacks. It made a nice lunch, though! Black Bean and Ham Soup with Roasted Brussels Sprouts
