Garlic & Herb Roasted Pork Loin

Have you ever purchased one of those vac packed flavored pork tenderloins at the grocery store?
Quite expensive for that wee tiny piece of tenderloin that is just barely enough to feed my family.
Well that is where my inspiration came from!
My youngest son and pickiest eater (next to his dad) absolutely loves those pork loins so in an attempt to save some moo-lah all the while making happy eaters, I thought I'd try to make a homemade version on a grander scale.
Here's what I came up with

Garlic & Herb Roasted Pork Loin

5 lb. pork loin
1/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup sherry cooking wine
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tbsp. lemon juice
3 tbsp. worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp. dried parsley
1 tsp. dried basil
4 tsp. minced garlic
2 tsp. dry mustard

Line a 13X9 baking dish with aluminum foil that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
Cut about 8-10 slits in the pork loin.
Place pork loin in dish, fat side up.
In a mixing bowl, combine remaining ingredients and pour over the loin.
Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight.
Leave pork loin, covered with foil, in pan. Just poke a few vent holes in the foil.
Bake at 325 degrees for 3 hours and then uncover and continue baking for another hour.
*I always cook my meat well done so if this amount of time seems way too long for your liking then cook for less time. Just be sure to check the temperature of the meat for doneness.*
Remove from oven and let rest 5-10 minutes.
Slice with an electric knife and serve.

This large roast fed 7 people plus gave me enough left-overs to feed my family of 5 one more night. So if you aren't  feeding as many people just grab a smaller roast.
ENJOY!

The difference in the coloring is due to the fact that I cut the roast into two before removing it from the juices so the bottom half sucked up all that flavor goodness.

Crock Pot Parmesan Honey Pork Chops

Ooooohhh this was so good!
I've seen this several times on a few different sites and thought the pictures looked yummy but just wasn't sure if it would be something that we liked after reading the ingredient list.
Happy to say it was a BIG hit tonight for dinner.
The original recipe came from Six Sisters Stuff but I was missing a few ingredients so I improvised and used what I had on hand.
Here's my version!


Crock Pot Parmesan Honey Pork


3 lbs. boneless pork chops, each chop cut into 3 strips
2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese (the kind in a can)
1/4 cup honey
3 tbsp. soy sauce
2 tbsp. dried basil
2 tbsp. minced garlic
2 tbsp. olive oil
1/2 cup water


Place pork strips in a well greased crock pot.
In a bowl, combine remaining ingredients and then pour over the pork.
Place lid on crock pot and cook on high for 3-4 hours and then turn down to low and continue cooking for another 3-4 hours.

The original recipe said to make a gravy with the drippings, water and cornstarch but I omitted that part. We just ate it by itself and it was so flavorful.
This is a definite keeper and will be put on file in my recipe box.
It's always nice to find a new recipe that pleases everyone at the dinner table. (which doesn't happen often)

Oven Baked Bacon

I have wanted to try this for so long but I dreaded the mess that I figured it would make in my oven.
Pleasantly surprised though~NO MESS what so ever!


My family LOVES breakfast food. They could eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Bacon of course is their chosen meat for the meal but I absolutely HATE standing at the stove frying enough bacon to feed the whole family.


Not a problem anymore!
Why fry when you can bake??

Line a large baking sheet (or two) with aluminum foil.
Lay bacon slices flat and right beside each other. They will shrink up as they bake.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes.
Timing will vary depending on the oven but I began really watching it after 20 minutes. I cooked 2 trays and the bottom tray cooked quicker so I removed it after 20 minutes and then I continued cooking the top tray for another 5-10 minutes.
Once cooked, immediately remove the bacon from the baking sheet and place on paper towels to soak up the excess grease.
Pan clean-up was super easy. I just folded the foil up into a bowl shape and let the grease cool and harden then threw it in the garbage. 

Pork lo Mein

Chinese isn't high on my list of favorite foods so I never make it or buy it but as I was browsing through some recipes I stumbled upon this and thought I'd give it a try to see if any of my family liked it.
I served this on a hot day when I didn't really want to cook or eat anything heavy so I just served it with a side of sauteed peppers and squash from the garden and it was pretty tasty.

Pork Lo Mein

1 lb. angel hair pasta
2 1/2 cups chicken broth, divided
4 tbsp. lite soy sauce
2 1/2 tbsp. brown sugar
2 tsp. olive oil
4 tsp. cornstarch
2 lbs. pork chops, sliced diagonally into 1/4" strips
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. minced garlic
1/4 tsp. black pepper
2 tsp. parsley

Cook pasta, drain and set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together 2 cups chicken broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, 2 tsp. olive oil, and cornstarch and then set aside.
Heat the 2 tbsp. olive oil in a large skillet. Add pork strips, garlic and pepper. Brown and cook until done.
After pork is cooked thoroughly, add the cooked spaghetti, soy sauce mixture and 2 tsp. parsley.
Stir well and let cook until sauce thickens.
If sauce gets too thick you can add a bit more chicken broth to thin it down.
*I think this would be good to with some added veggies like peas, broccoli, diced carrots and so forth.*
Enjoy!

Pork Steaks with a Simple Sauce

Here's a simple meal to toss together and then place in the oven to bake. Come back 15-20 minutes before dinner time to wisk up the sauce and wahla...a tasty dish with lots of flavor.

4 pork cubed steaks or chops
salt and pepper
2 small onions, sliced in rings

Pour over pork steaks and ENJOY!

I still am not really in the mood to cook.
My days are spent schooling and keeping up on household chores. Any free time that I have I want to spend working on  my quilt blocks ~ which I'll show you more of tomorrow.
I did manage to get 2 big trays of cabbage rolls made yesterday. We had dinner at my parents' house as we celebrated my Dad's birthday. His actual birthday is not until tomorrow but last night was the night that we could all get together. Besides, Dad says that it's not just his birthday...it's his birth week.
Gonna be a long week!
Not much else going on around here. It's been a rainy, muddy mess here for the past week. We got lucky and dodged the big snowstorms.
Though it is snowing as I type this!
Not supposed to get much more than an inch but it may get icy since the roads are wet already from the rain.

I'm getting spring fever as I can't wait to get back outdoors. I'm ready to start walking again but need to wait for better weather. 
Which brings me to this!

Look at these shoes that I picked up over the weekend.
My favorite is a Nike running shoe so that is what I went in search of. I was so surprised. They are so bright and colorful now a days. TOO BRIGHT! ( This pic doesn't even compare to what they actually look like.)
I had to come home and change the shoestrings because they were yellow too!
My kids call them the banana shoes.
I'm sure they are trying to appeal to teenagers with all those wild colors but come on....there are some of us older people that would like a good shoe without all that bling ~ if that's what you want to call it.

Well, since I can't get outdoors to walk I guess I will head to the treadmill before it's bedtime. Something I should be doing daily but doesn't happen very often!

Have a great evening!

Pork Parmesan

This is my version of veal parmesan.
Though I've never eaten veal of any kind (can't stand the thought of a poor baby moo-moo) I must admit the dish looks delicious.
I substituted pork cutlets for the veal and it turned out quite tasty.

Pork Parmesan

2 cups seasoned bread crumbs
3/4 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp. seasoned salt
black pepper to taste
1 tsp. dried italian seasoning
8 pork cube steaks
oil for frying
1 onion, diced small
12 oz. fresh cherry tomatoes, cut in halves
1/2 tsp. minced garlic
1 small can chicken broth
8 slices mozzerella cheese

Mix bread crumbs, flour, seasoned salt, pepper and italian seasoning together. Set aside.
In large frying pan, pour enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan and begin heating.
While oil is getting hot begin coating the pork steaks in the crumb mixture.
Place steak in hot oil and brown both sides.

Once browned,remove from pan and place in a greased casserole dish. (13x9 or larger)
Cover with foil and bake until done.
I cooked mine for about 1 hour 30 minutes. (Longer than most prefer)
While that is cooking make the tomato sauce.

 Saute the onion in the same pan that you just fried the steaks in. If you have a lot of excess oil in the pan then remove some of it before you begin.
Once the onion is tender go ahead and add the garlic and tomato halves.
Simmer for a few minutes and then add the chicken broth.
This should thicken up a bit because of the leftover flour in the pan from frying the pork.
Let simmer a bit and then turn off and let set until pork is done.
When pork steaks are done pour this tomato mixture over top of the steaks.
Place a slice of mozzerella on top of tomatoes and place back in the oven until the cheese is melted.
ENJOY!


Well, No whining today guys and gals!
My day has gone much better with no aches or pains so far! (Keepin my fingers crossed though...the day is not over yet.)
I'm off to do a bit of sewing before bedtime so I'll have to stop back later to catch up with all of you!

A Hunter's Treat~ Pepperoni Rolls

It's finally Friday and thank goodness!
We've been working super hard on our schooling this week in hopes of being able to take all of next week off.  No big cooking adventures this past week so I have no new recipes or really anything of interest to share with you all. Instead I thought I would share a few links to some of my old posts. These are all favorites of mine for this time of the year.
The first one is for pepperoni rolls. My husband used to hunt and each year he would request that I make these so that he could have something to snack on throughout his day in the woods.
Click on the recipe titles to go to each post.

Pepperoni Rolls
 
And while the men are in the woods maybe you can sneak a little time for yourself so here are a few quick and easy dinners to throw in the oven or crockpot and forget about. Just come back and make a few quick sides at the last minute and enjoy!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Crumb Coated BBQ Chicken or Pork Chops

I have to thank my SIL (Joan) for passing this one on to me. She made it using chicken and they all loved it.
I used pork chops instead of chicken & Yumm-o.
I love quick, easy & simple yet tasty recipes like this.

Crumb Coated BBQ Chicken or Pork Chops

SUNSHINE & Sausage, Egg & Cheese Biscuits

We finally have SUNSHINE!

This weekend was great. The sun shined bright and the temperature was in the 40's.

A much needed reprieve from all the winter blahs. Saturday was spent outside cleaning out our vehicles, a job that was much needed. After getting them all cleaned and swept out I headed to the car wash for what seemed like a never-ending wait in line. That place was packed! I guess we all had the same idea.

It was also a great day to hang laundry up outside to dry and to grill out for supper. Later in the evening I sat down and finished the pillow for my giveaway that ends this Saturday as well as another stitchery that I have been working on. While I sewed I watched another great movie on the Hallmark. It was called "Uncorked". It was really good and I believe it plays a few more times this month. Definitely worth watching!

Sunday was spent catching up and getting things done around the house before we all headed back to school and work. After a busy day I needed something quick for supper so I whipped up these basic biscuits and had sausage, egg & cheese biscuits as well as some hashbrowns. I prefer to use the larger size sausage patties for these but they are so expensive to buy that way (preshaped) so I just used 2 rolls of Bob Evans sausage and shaped them into large patties myself. Add some egg and a slice of cheese and you've got a quick simple supper or breakfast!

Quick & Simple Biscuits

2 cups flour

3 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. salt

1/3 cups Crisco

3/4 cup milk

Preheat oven to 425°.

Place flour, baking powder & salt in a bowl and mix well.

Add Crisco to flour and use a fork or pastry blender to blend.

Add milk.

Mix it enough so that the dough will hold together.

(I just used my hands for this step.)

Place dough on counter and knead it about 10 times.

Roll dough to about 1/2 inch thickness.

Use a biscuit cutter or drinking glass to cut circles.

Place on a greased baking sheet and bake 12-15 minutes or till browned.

Well we are off to get busy on school so that we can get it done and get outside to enjoy another day of sunshine. I'll be back later to catch up with all of you. Hope you enjoy your day!

Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin

Pork is soooo plain.

Or at least it is to me.

But here is a new marinade that I made today and it was pretty tasty. My youngest son who rarely eats meat actually chowed down on this and said, " Wow, this is pretty good."

That says something!

This one is going straight to my recipe file as a keeper.

Before I get started let me tell you first that this is made with soy sauce which makes the sauce very salty. I used the drippings to make a thin sauce to pour lightly over the meat. I did not make it with the intentions to use as a gravy to smother everything with.

That would spell sodium OVERDOSE.

Teriyaki Pork Loin

1 lb. pork loin

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup sugar

2 tbsp. ketchup

Place pork loin in a ziploc bag.

Mix soy sauce, sugar & ketchup in small bowl.

Pour mixture into the bag with the pork loin.

Let set in the refrigerator overnight.

Now you can cook this however you choose whether it be baked, boiled or roasted. I took mine and browned it on all sides in a hot pan with just a splash of olive oil.

Once browned I added a bit of water and scraped the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to get all the good stuff off of the bottom.

I then added the leftover marinade to my pan with the pork.

I added more water * enough to cover the roast * and let it simmer on top of the stove all day.

As the water boiled down I just added more water.

In the end I had a well cooked roast with lots of flavor and enough drippings to make a thin sauce to drizzle over the top.

Add some mashed potatoes, green beans and Hawaiin dinner rolls and we are now quite stuffed.

I'll share the roll recipe with you later. They were pretty darn good!

Hope you all are staying warm and enjoying your evening!

Ranch Pork Chops & a Side

We spent yesterday morning in the house doing schoolwork and then we headed up to Grandview Park to collect some leaves and pinecones for a science lesson that we are going to work on today. The kids had fun. We went to the shelter on the highest hill and of course I didn't take my camera. You can see so much now that the leaves are pretty much all gone.

Anyways, we collected leaves, the kids rode their scooters and we actually did a Math lesson while we sat at the picnic table. *Math is not a favorite subject of Gage's and sometimes if I approach it a little different it will go over so much more smoothly.* It's all in how interesting you make it.

We were outside and not sitting at a desk but he picked up on the lesson and learned it. It was more of a relaxed lesson and it worked. Already this morning he has asked if we were going to do more with it today. Yeah!

So, we headed home in time to throw something on for dinner. Nothing fancy, just a simple coating that I added ranch dressing mix to and plopped in the oven. I usually drizzle butter over chicken or pork when I bake it but this time I didn't and it browned nicely and tasted pretty good.

The photo above is the pork, mashed potatoes, scalloped corn and some lettuce with Feta cheese sprinkled over the top. I have already posted the recipe for the scalloped corn. It's not the one with corn muffin mix. You can go HERE to get it.

Baked Ranch Pork Chops

6 pork chops

3/4 cup whole wheat flour (or white)

1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch Dip Mix

1/2 cups seasoned bread crumbs

3/4 cup milk

salt & pepper to taste

In a bowl, mix flour, dip mix, crumbs and salt & pepper.

Place milk in a second bowl.

Dredge pork chops in crumbs, then dip in milk and back again in the crumb mixture.

Place in a greased casserole.

Bake 350° for 1 hour or till done to your liking.

Honey & Beer Ribs

I usually place pork ribs in the crockpot and cook them all day in store-bought BBQ sauce but I thought I would try something a little different. I started these out in the oven and then transferred them to a crockpot to keep warm till we got home for dinner. You could cook these the whole time in the oven or slow cook all day in the crockpot and I'm sure they would be just as good. Here's the ingredients that I used.

Honey & Beer Rib Sauce

1 medium onion, diced

1 tsp. minced garlic

1 tbsp. olive oil

3/4 cups chili sauce

1/2 cup beer

1/4 cup honey

2 tbsp. worcestershire

Saute onion & garlic in oil.

Add rest of ingredients and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered for 15-20 minutes.

Remove from heat and pour over ribs.

**If you are oven roasting ribs then I would baste them with this sauce every so often throughout the cooking process.

If cooking in a crockpot them I would pour the whole amount over the ribs and cook all day.**

Enjoy!

It's Crock-Pot Season ~ Pork Chops & Gravy

Football season has begun and so that means it's crock-pot season in my kitchen.

I'm not a big fan of cooking in a crock-pot but during football it's all I've got unless I want to come home and make a quick meal of hamburgers and fries every night. Which is fine other than I get sick of quick meals. I want something good, oven baked & wholesome. We have a few family favorites that I make on a regular basis in the crock-pot but I am always looking for new recipes to add a little excitement to our table.

I tried this pork chop & gravy recipe the other day and it was pretty tasty. I whipped up some mashed potatoes so we could smother them with gravy and threw some green beans on the side.

Crock-Pot Pork Chops & Gravy

8 pork chops

salt & pepper

2 tbsp. oil

2 (10 3/4oz.) cans of cream of mushroom soup

1 large onion, diced

12 oz. can of evaporated milk

Sprinkle chops with salt and pepper and brown in oil.

Once browned, place in a greased crock-pot.

In a bowl, whisk together the soup, onion & milk and pour over pork.

Place lid on and cook on high 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours.

I didn't have the canned milk or the cream soup here at the house so I made mine with homemade versions of both. You can find the recipe that I use for evaporated milk HERE and the cream soup mix HERE at Keepin It Simple.

Bacon Pineapple Pizza

Here is my homemade version of a Hawaiian Pizza. I made four pizzas the other night, one to please each and every picky eater at my house. There was Hawaiian, plain cheese, extra pepperoni and then a white pizza. I figured I would be the only person to eat the bacon & pineapple one so I only made one.

Wrong move! It was the first pizza tray to be empty. Even my most picky eater gobbled this up!

The first five ingredients are for the dough which will make enough for 2 pizza crusts. The toppings that I listed below were used on just 1 of the crusts so you will need to double the toppings if making more than one pizza or top the second crust with your own favorite toppings!

Bacon & Pineapple Pizza

1 pkg. yeast

2 cups warm water

2 tsp. sugar

1 1/2 tsp. salt

4 tbsp. oil

5 cups flour

Toppings:

1 lb. bacon, fried & crumbled

1 jar pizza or spaghetti sauce

20 oz. can crushed pineapple, drained

8-12 oz. shredded cheese (mozz., colby jack, etc.)

Fry bacon & place on paper towels to absorb extra grease.

Drain pineapple.

In a large bowl, mix yeast & water.

Add sugar & salt.

Stir in oil.

Slowly add flour.

Mix well. (I use my Kitchen-Aid mixer with a dough hook)

Grease hands and form dough into a ball.

Place dough back in bowl, cover with a towel and let rise 5-10 minutes.

Divide dough into 2 balls.

Take each ball and spread out onto a pizza pan.

Top pizza with pizza or spaghetti sauce.

Sprinkle with cheese.

Top with half of the crumbled bacon.

Use hands to "sprinkle" half of the pineapple over top of bacon.

Sprinkle the remaining bacon and pineapple on top.

Bake in oven at 350° for 20 minutes or till crust is browned to your own liking.

Enjoy!

Seasoned Pork Bites Plus an Idea for a Vegetarian Version

This is what we had last night for dinner. The pork was quick to make and flavorful. I just tossed the seasonings in here and there and tasted as I went and it turned out really nice. I could have left some of the liquid in the pan to make a saucy gravy and poured the pork and sauce over the rice but I didn't. Maybe I'll try that the next time.

Seasoned Pork Bites

1 onion, diced

1 bell pepper, diced

1 1/2 tsp. olive oil

4 pork cube steaks, cut into strips or bite size pieces

1/2 tsp. minced garlic or 1 fresh clove, chopped/minced

1/4 cup soy sauce

1 tbsp. brown sugar

1/4 tsp. ginger

1/4 tsp. pepper

1/2 tsp. salt

2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

In saucepan, saute onion & pepper in oil.

Add pork and let brown on all sides.

Add garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, pepper, salt and Worcestershire.

Add water as this cooks down so it doesn't burn.

Let simmer till meat is thoroughly cooked and serve.

PENNIWIG:) Sometime I will make a vegetarian version of this for my Dad and when I do I will do everything the same except use the Morningstar Farms Chicken strips or whatever they are called.

Leftovers make easy Shredded BBQ Pork Sandwich Melt

One day last week I put two packages of boneless pork ribs in the crockpot, added a bottle of BBQ sauce and let it cook all day. We had the ribs that night for dinner and then I took the remaining ribs and shredded them and added a bag of shredded cheese to it. I mixed it up and put it in a freezer bag and froze it.

Yesterday was a busy day with schooling, laundry, sewing and hosing a winter's worth of dust off of our three porches. So, at the end of the day I needed something fast for dinner and here's what I came up with.

BBQ Pork Sandwich Melts

5 cups Boneless BBQ Pork Rib leftovers

8 oz. shredded cheese

1 onion, diced

3 carrots, finely shredded

splash of olive oil

1 cup BBQ sauce

buns or toast

American cheese slices

Defrost the bag of leftover BBQ ribs mixed with the cheese.

Saute the onion & carrots in olive oil till tender.

Once veggies are tender then add the pork mixture to them.

Add BBQ sauce and simmer.

Toast bread or buns.

Spoon pork onto bread and top with a slice of cheese.

ENJOY a quick and easy dinner!

Breakfast for Supper

Here's an easy recipe for a breakfast casserole that could be served for breakfast or dinner. Last night we had it for dinner. I also tried a new freeze and bake biscuit recipe that I will share with you tomorrow. I've seen this casserole in many recipe books and I like it because you can prepare it the day before or the morning of and then refrigerate. About an hour before you are ready to eat, just pop it in the oven and bake. I left mine in the oven a little too long so the cheese got a bit too brown but it was still good.

Breakfast for a Bunch

1 lb. hot pork sausage

3 cups frozen hash browns

salt & pepper

dried onion flakes

12 oz. shredded cheddar cheese

12 eggs, beaten ( I only use 7-8)

2 cups milk

Cook sausage in skillet and drain.

Place hash browns in a greased 13 x 9.

Sprinkle with salt, pepper & onions.

Layer the sausage on top of this.

Sprinkle with cheese.

Combine eggs & milk.

Pour over top of casserole.

Cover and refrigerate for several hours.

Bake uncovered for 50-60 minutes at 350 degrees.

Pork & Broccoli with Country Bob's Sauce

Country Bob's Sauce has never been on my grocery list before but that's about to change. I received a coupon for a free bottle of this stuff a while back. Our local Walmart had it in stock so I used the coupon & it has been sitting in my pantry ever since. The other night I didn't know what to fix for dinner so I went searching through the freezer, pantry & cabinets and this is what I came up with. It had a good flavor and was just an all around different meal than what we are used to. I served this with rice & green beans.

PORK & BROCCOLI with COUNTRY BOB'S SAUCE

8 pork cube steaks

1/2 stick butter

Country Bob's Sauce

1 head of fresh broccoli

water

**I didn't measure anything as I was throwing this together but I really don't think you can mess it up!**

I'll have to try this with beef too!!

Cut pork into 1 inch strips or bite size pieces.

Throw pork in a large skillet, add butter & drizzle a little bit of Country Bob's Sauce over the top & cook.

Be sure to stir this as it cooks so that all sides can get browned.

Once the meat browns and the liquids cook down then add a glass full of water to pan.

Continue cooking & adding water till meat is cooked thoroughly.

While the meat is cooking clean & chop your broccoli.

Once the meat is done then add the fresh broccoli to the pan.

Add another glass of water, if needed.

Add more Country Bob's Sauce.

(I used 1/2 - 3/4 of the 13 oz. bottle for the whole dish.)

Place a lid on the pan & let the broccoli cook till tender.

ENJOY!

You can go here http://countrybobs.com/ and sign up to receive a free bottle.

I received my coupon by snail mail. They also have a section of recipes that you can browse.
