Brown Sugar and Balsamic Glazed Pork Loin

I made this dish for dinner when we had company over and it was a hit! Right when they walked in the door they said their mouths were watering! This pork loin was so moist and had such good flavor, but wasn't over powering to the point you couldn't taste the meat. I also made a yummy side dish of some sauteed spinach leaves, went perfectly!


Brown Sugar and Balsamic Glazed Pork Loin


Ingredients:
1 2lb boneless pork tenderloin
1 t ground sage
1/2 t salt
1/4 t pepper
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 cup water


Glaze:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 T cornstarch
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup water
2 T soy sauce


Combine sage, salt, pepper and garlic. Rub over roast. Place in slow cooker with 1/2 cup water. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. An hour before the roast is done, combine the ingredients for the glaze in a small sauce pan. Heat and stir until mixture thickens. Brush roast with glaze 2-3 times during the last hour of cooking. Serve with remaining glaze on the side.


*Just so you know, the balsamic vinegar is going to smell really strong, you're probably going to think you put too much in, but trust me, it's not going to be over powering at all, I promise!


**Sorry guys, again no picture. We ate it all!

No Bake Peanut Butter Cookies

I'm not going to lie, I had no idea what a "no bake" was until a friend of mine told me his favorite cookies were no bakes (this was around Christmas time when I go cookie crazy!). So I looked up a recipe and ended up falling in LOVE with them. They're so quick to make. This recipe here took me (start to finish) 20 minutes to do. So if you want something sweet and have nothing in the pantry to snack on, just whip these up super quick (because you should have everything you need already at home!) and enjoy! No Bake Peanut Butter Cookies Ingredients: - 2 cups sugar - 1/4 cup margarine - 1/2 cup milk - 1 cup peanut butter - 1t vanilla - 3 cups rolled oats (old fashioned) In a large saucepan, mix sugar, margarine and milk; bring to a full rolling boil over medium heat.  Boil for one minute, stirring constantly.  Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla, stirring until peanut butter is melted; stir in oats. Working quickly, drop spoonfuls on...

A "little bit of everything" cookie

I know it's been a while, but I try to get on here as much as I can, and sadly it's not as much as I wish I could be.  I had some spare time tonight though and thought it was time for some cookies to be made! I have another dinner recipe I want to share, "Drunken Pork chops" but i'll get to that another time.

The World's Best Meatloaf

Talk about a 3 year hiatus...whew. Well I figured I would make an attempt to get back into the swing of things (my baseball reference for the night!) and post a little something for you all to check out. Unfortunately, this is something I made earlier this week and did not snag a picture, but lets be honest, Meatloaf is hard to make look "picture perfect" but I will try to update this recipe with a picture next time I make it. *UPDATE: Picture is now attached. Enjoy! I debated whether or not I wanted to share this recipe with everyone because it's just THAT good, but I thought what the heck, everyone's taste buds should truly experience this. First I'm going to start off with I am NOT a ground beef lover at all. I try to avoid it as much as possible. But Matthew enjoys it, so alas, there I was in the kitchen the first time I made this recipe, grossed out and didn't know how I was going to get through this ordeal but it turned out pretty damn tasty. And...
