So that means it is a great time for cooking up comfort foods for suppers.
Two nights ago for supper I baked a pork roast tenderloin (bought 6 this past summer on sale). I took one pork tenderloin and basted it with catelina dressing, put in a roasting pan in oven for 1/2 an hour @ 350 with about 3/4 cup of water. I then quatered up some onions, potato and added baby carrots to a bowl and added about 1/4 cup of catelina dressing and sprinkled some parsley in with it and mix it up really good then add it all to roasting pan with the pork tenderloin. I baked it up for about 2 more hours and it was sooooooooo good! the amount of dressing you would use would depend on how many veggies you used, they don't have to be drenched in the dressing, just coated. I had found that recipe in a kraft calendar which I had but I couldn't find it so I just went by memory although I am sure I had forgotten some of the ingredients in which the recipe called for but it was still sooooooooo Good!
Last night we had chicken burgers and I made a Ceasar Salad to go with it.
Tonight I made another really easy supper. We had rice/veggies/left over pork tenderloin with finely chopped up onions in one pot cooked in a veggie broth. I melted 2 tbsp of butter in a big pot, sautee the onions, add 2 cups of long grain white rice and stirred to coat in the melted butter and sauteed onions. Add 4 cups of hot tap water with 3 tsps of veggie boullion powder mixed together to the pot of rice. I then added about 2 cups of frozen veggies( I used broccoli,cauliflour,carrots), add cut up meat and bring to a boil. As soon as it starts to boil reduce heat to minimum and cover for 25 minutes. Remember, no peeking as if you take off the cover on the pot your rice won't turn out. We also had egg rolls with it but I didn't make those, I buy the noname brand and really like them. You could also halve the ingredients......I cooked up lots as we will have that for our lunches tomorrow. It is also great to freeze any left overs for lunches or another quick supper down the road.
Tomorrow nights supper will be a breakfast night. More than likely I will be frying up some homemade bread dough , it is so frugal and tastes great with pancake syrup added on the top. I will also have bacon and slices of cheddar cheese for on the side.
Have a Wonderful Evening Everyone
