A miniature staycation can be just what the doctor ordered. Burnt out? Overwhelmed by housework? Stressed to the max? People aggravating you at work? I recommend taking an extended weekend. It will help you catch back up on housework and give you a nice reprieve from your job. I worked the Christmas and New Year's… Continue reading Chipotle Pork and Sweet Potato Stew

Caribbean Pork with Pineapple Salsa
Pork tenderloin gets a bad rap. A lot of people grew up eating tough and dry pork, and that's a shame. It doesn't have to be that way. I'm a huge preacher of "don't overcook your pork!" I've said it countless times on here. You only need to cook pork to 145 degrees---that's it. Anything… Continue reading Caribbean Pork with Pineapple Salsa
Pork and Sweet Potatoes with Spicy Cabbage
Pork tenderloins have been on sale at my grocery store lately so I've been buying them up. Tenderloin is probably my favorite cut of pork. As the name implies, it's super tender---but only if it's correctly cooked. Many times, home cooks will overcook pork and let it dry out. There's nothing worse than a tough… Continue reading Pork and Sweet Potatoes with Spicy Cabbage
Pork Tenderloin with Creamy Dill Sauce
For Christmas, my dad got me this countertop, hydroponic herb garden. Three months later, I'm overrun with mint and dill. I've been tailoring my recipes over the last two weeks to use up the excess. I'm convinced dill can grow to be as tall as me (and that's 6 foot tall!). It just will not… Continue reading Pork Tenderloin with Creamy Dill Sauce
Herb & Garlic Pork Roast with Honey Mustard Sauce
Since Rob & I have cut down on the red meat in our diet, I've had to adapt in the kitchen. That doesn't mean we don't still have the occasional juicy steak (I am from Texas), but we try to limit it to only a few times a month. As a Texan, cutting out red meat… Continue reading Herb & Garlic Pork Roast with Honey Mustard Sauce
Hungarian Pork Tenderloin & Potatoes
It's another football Sunday in this household! Unfortunately, my beloved Broncos weren't playing (on TV in this market), but I still managed to squeeze a few games in for my viewing pleasure. We had an eventful morning, waking up suuuuper early to get ready for our Save-The-Date pictures (squee!) and then had an AMAZING brunch at… Continue reading Hungarian Pork Tenderloin & Potatoes
Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Bacon Jam
You know what I think is sad? When people continually overcook meat just to make sure that it is "done". Hey, I used to be a part of that camp, too. My mom would tell me horror stories about botulism. I witnessed first-hand how salmonella can wreak havoc on your digestive system...and I've been scared to death… Continue reading Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Bacon Jam
