Roasted Corn and Sausage Stuffed Tomatoes

These stuffed tomatoes are a combination of a couple different recipes. My mom recently sent me this recipe, after making it herself with rave reviews. That recipe calls for chorizo sausage, jalapeno peppers and pepper jack cheese, but I am not a huge fan of spicy food. I was going to try the chorizo and just [...]

Polynesian Style Meatballs

 I was looking for something to make with ground turkey when I came across this meatball recipe. The original recipe calls for ground pork, but even with the leaner ground turkey, these meatballs were delicious! The seasoned meatballs go really well with the sweet pineapple sauce, making these a staple in our dinner rotation. I [...]

Baked Pork Chops with Parmesan Sage Crust

I tend to buy more pork tenderloin than pork chops, but sometimes they are a such a great deal that I can’t pass them up.  Since I have maybe 2 or 3 go-to recipes for pork chops, I am always on the look-out for new ways to prepare them. This particular recipe resulted in a very [...]

Honey Mustard Pork Tenderloin

I was looking for a pork tenderloin recipe last week when I came across this one on Joelen’s Blog, and bonus, it was a crock-pot recipe! Nate made this when I was at work and I came home to a delicious smelling house. The pork turned out tender and moist, and the sauce added a [...]

Sage and Sausage Stuffing

Someday I would love to try a new stuffing recipe, maybe a cornbread stuffing, or even one with cranberries or apples. But for now, this is my old stand-bye and it is always delicious. Nate does not really care for stuffing, but even he likes this recipe. I realize that the technical term for this [...]

Pecan Crusted Pork with Pumpkin Butter

This is one of those meals that just screams fall, and boy is it delicious! The crunchy pecan coated pork, topped with the sweet, cinnamony pumpkin butter is a perfect combination. This recipe would be equally delicious with chicken breasts, as well. I served the pork with fresh corn risotto and it was a fantastic [...]

Pork Tenderloin Medallions with Lemon-Mustard Sauce

This recipe is another one from I-village.com. All I can say about this dish, is that it is fabulous. The pork turns out very moist and flavorful, and the sauce is phenomenal. This recipe will be in our regular rotation for sure. The only thing I would do differently next time would be to decrease [...]

BBQ Pulled Pork

Nate loves pulled pork and this recipe could not be any easier. I have had this saved in my allrecipes.com recipe box for a quite a while since it has gotten such rave reviews, but I loathe root beer so I was hesitant to try it. The I realized I could just make it with coke! [...]

Pork Milanese

This is another fabulous recipe from Elly’s blog. I used pork chops instead of tenderloin since that is what we had, and made a few other minor changes. The pork was very good-  moist on the inside and crunchy on the outside, and the chunky tomato sauce added great flavor. We had this with Pecorino-Parmesan orzo, also [...]

Zuppa Toscana Soup

I love the Zuppa Toscana Soup at Olive Garden, it is my favorite soup to get when we go out. Since it is STILL winter and we are STILL getting snow, I made this along with garlic swirl bread for a warm, comforting meal. This is another recipe from allrecipes.com, written as I made it, [...]
