  • I'm always on the lookout for a great, new, pork loin recipe, especially one that has ingredients I already own.  I get tired of chicken & turkey now and then, and pork loin, these days, can be just as healthy for you because of how lean it is.  Only problem is, I only know a few pork recipes, and only one of them is P90X approved.  So I found this one on cooking light, and it is AMAZING!!  check it out...

  • INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 (3 1/2-ounce) bag boil-in-bag long-grain rice
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil, divided
  • 1 tablespoon chopped peeled fresh ginger
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 6 ounces pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into thin strips 
  • 1/2 cup shelled edamame (green soybeans)
  • 1/2 cup preshredded carrot
  • 3/4 cup diagonally cut green onions (can substitute regular onion)
  • 1/2 cup (1/4-inch-thick) slices red bell pepper, each cut in half 
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Thai chili sauce (such as Sriracha)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted, dry-roasted peanuts, OR unsalted cashews

Preparation

  1. Cook rice according to package directions; set aside.
  2. Heat 1/2 teaspoon oil in a wok or large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add ginger and garlic; sauté 1 minute. Add pork; sauté 3 minutes or until pork loses its pink color. Place pork mixture in a large bowl; cover and keep warm.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon oil to pan. Add edamame and carrot; sauté 2 minutes. Add onions and bell pepper; sauté 2 minutes. Add carrot mixture to pork mixture in bowl; keep warm.
  4. Heat remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons oil in pan. Add cooked rice and soy sauce to pan; sauté 3 minutes. Return pork mixture to pan. Stir in broth and next 5 ingredients (through black pepper); cook 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Spoon 1 1/2 cups fried rice mixture onto each of 4 individual plates; top each serving with 1 1/2 teaspoons peanuts/cashews.

Pasta Carbonara

"Hmmm, two pasta recipes in a row?" you say.  You must say that because you haven't been following every post and don't already know from the previous post that I accidentally-on-purpose bought too much tortellini at the store.  While Carbonara is most often made with long, slender pasta like spaghetti, linguine, fettucine, etc.....well, I had to do something  with that tortellini!  I therefore give you use #2 for cheese tortellini you need to use up--Carbonara. Now don't get too wigged out by the fact that the sauce in this recipe is made from eggs that will  appear to not be cooked.  We don't judge based on looks around here, so I'll thank you to conform to that while using this recipe.  The eggs are tempered , which essentially means that they are not raw, but sorta look that way still.  I promise it is delicious.  But if you need the reassurance, mentally, that you aren't eating raw eggs, I give you my solemn assurance.  Now you ma...

I'll judge and think you're crazy, but we will both survive.  You'll go on loving gross cookies, and I'll go on loving the good stuff.  And we will both, somehow, be happy with that.  If you ever want to try the good stuff, it'll be right here for you.  And so will I.  Maybe.  I'm not as forgiving as these best-ever chocolate chip cookies....
