Gonna add tenderloin to my menu in the next week or two. Rod's not a huge fan, but he'll pretty much eat whatever I cook.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-82836601515209511772015-02-10T18:20:11.197-08:002015-02-10T18:20:11.197-08:00Wow.

Seems like everyone has this cookbook. :) There is a lot of prep, but I'm getting in the habit of doing all that work the night before so all I have to do is throw it all in the slow cooker before I head off to work. I need to see if there are other recipes in the cookbook that I might like to try. So many cookbooks, so little time. :)Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-75989488878109460812015-02-10T18:18:58.759-08:002015-02-10T18:18:58.759-08:00Let me know how they turn out, if you do try this ...Let me know how they turn out, if you do try this recipe, JoAnn.

It's pretty much just egg, bread crumbs and olive oil, but I don't like to make it more than a couple of times a year. Not healthy and it gets my stove top far too messy! :) Yeah, 3 onions is a bit much!Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-69223265718752104772015-02-10T18:16:52.788-08:002015-02-10T18:16:52.788-08:00As I mentioned in the previous comments, I think I...As I mentioned in the previous comments, I think I need to either reduce the cooking time or find a different cut of pork for this recipe.

Ever since I learned that pork can be a little tiny bit pink in the middle it has revolutionized our cooking--no more dried out hunks of meat!! Another favorite of ours is pork tenderloin (we cheat and get the hormel teriyaki flavored ones that are probably too high in sodium). Rub with some olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and roast. Mmm!

I need to get it back out and take a look. I'm not much for cooking pork chops either. I never seem to know what to do with them. My mother used to fry them, but I don't fry anything these days. These do look tasty - although 3 onions?
