Roasted Pork Tenderloin With Cranberry Clementine Sauce

Posted on May 16, 2013 by Quick Chef | 0 Comments

TweetI’m not a huge fan of orange but I do love cranberry. This recipe is actually quite easy and not too time consuming for how gourmet it tastes. Today’s topic for the foodie blogger challenge is pork, the other white meat. While we don’t eat pork very often my husband loves tenderloin so it’s the go to cut I make….

Island Escape Pork Roast

Posted on March 1, 2013 by Quick Chef | 0 Comments

TweetSo few ingredients, so much flavor. You can serve this roast in slices or shred it. If you shred it then it turns into a teriyaki shredded pork sandwich quite easily. For the last 30 minutes of cooking I like to add in a small package of frozen peas and diced carrots. Then serve with rice. Again, these are ingredients…

Curried Pork Apple Crock Pot Dinner

TweetI don’t have a lot of ways that I prepare pork. It’s not a meat we cook with a lot unless it’s ham or bacon lol So I tend to just go with the few recipes I know my family likes. I’m glad I branched out. Hubby grew up having apple sauce served with pork chops which to me is…

Hearty Ham and Bean Soup

TweetI’m somewhere around 1/3 Irish. I don’t think there is any way to track the percentages, except I know I’m 1/4 native American since my Grandma was 100% lol This Irish background means I grew up with soups and stews. Unfortunately, this lineage is from my father and his cooking stories are something I should really chat about on here….

Pork Chops with Cranberry Sauce

Posted on December 4, 2012 by Quick Chef | 2 Comments

TweetI found this recipe at allrecipes which is a favorite stop of mine. I have a pro membership there. I was going there for years without knowing anything about the site. Then found out the site is local! Have to admit, I geeked out and was excited to know I loved a local company. Anyway, this recipe as you can…

Cook Easy Challenge Day 16: Saucy Spareribs in the Slow Cooker

Posted on September 16, 2012 by Quick Chef | 0 Comments

TweetWhen I think of easy, I think of my slow cooker. I love tossing ingredients in either the night before or the morning of and just letting it sit all day. Plus the smell in the food cooking all day just makes your mouth water. I love to keep an eye on the clearance meat for the spareribs. They can…

Pork Plan for Cooking Challenge

Posted on June 7, 2012 by Quick Chef | 9 Comments

TweetThis was an easy plan as well for the cooking challenge. I put the rub on three small pork roasts and let them sit over night. Then on cook day I set them out on the counter to warm up more to room temp for the smoker. I got lucky and hubby borrowed a gas smoker so we didn’t have…

Spicy BBQ Rub

Posted on June 7, 2012 by Quick Chef | 3 Comments

TweetWe’ve used this rub for pork and beef. It works great for either. I haven’t tried it on chicken yet but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Just make sure you don’t put as much on. It’s a strong flavor and would probably over power chicken quite easily. When you use a rub make sure you cover the meat…

Grilled Teriyaki Pork Tenders

Posted on May 8, 2012 by Quick Chef | 0 Comments

TweetThis recipe is great for last minute BBQ’s. It’s very quick to put together and will taste like you slaved. Much cooler than the burger and hot dog standy. Even better we’re going to put it together in foil packets so there aren’t dishes to wash. Toss a green salad together and throw some rice in the cooker. Using the…

Caribbean Sunset Pork Chops

TweetIt’s time to break out of the winter duldrums and pretend we’re going to the tropics. But we’re not going to spend a lot of time doing it. Because gourmet taste doesn’t have to take forever to make. Not only is this recipe easy to make but you can split the marinade into two meals with the same work. Just…
