Glazed Pork Tenderloin

We love to hang out with people (and eat). 

Tonight we had some good friends over for some food and fellowship, and enjoyed a simple summer spread with salads, fruit, potatoes and some grilled pork tenderloin sandwiches.  You can grill the meat a little bit in advance, let it rest, and then slice it up just before it's time to eat. 

The great thing about this recipe is how versatile pork tenderloin is - you can keep it casual and do sandwiches, or you can grill or throw it in the oven and serve it sliced with some twice-baked potatoes and grilled or steamed veggies for a nice sit-down meal.  I've done this for a crowd before, and it's gone over well.  Give it a try!

Glazed Pork Tenderloin

2 lb pork tenderloin
Pepper
¼ cup honey
1 T Dijon mustard
2 T Worcestershire sauce
¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 t minced garlic

To prepare for freezing: Season tenderloin lightly with pepper. In a Ziploc bag combine all ingredients and mix thoroughly. Add the tenderloins and coat with marinade. Freeze. To split: Place ½ of tenderloin in each Ziploc with ½ of the marinade.

To cook: Thaw in refrigerator and allow to marinate for several hours. Grill or bake in 350 degree oven for 40-45 minutes or until meat thermometer reads 160 degrees.

Layered Mexican Trifle Salad

So this is awesome.  It's a lot of work, but it is awesome.  Feeds a crowd, looks cool, tastes great.  What more can you ask for?  I first had this at a party, and then tracked down the recipe - I believe it was originally from Pampered Chef.  You can mix it up, but I really like this combo.  It's easy to double or whatever is needed, based on the serving dish.  The one pictured was MASSIVE, and was basically a triple batch - so much work, and at the last minute! Layered Mexican Trifle Salad I ngredients: Beans: drain, rinse and mix together 1 15 oz. can pinto beans and 1 15 oz. can black beans 1 15 oz. can whole kernel corn, drained (I've also used fresh) 1 large tomato, diced (I usually use several Roma tomatoes) 2 green bell peppers, diced 3 ripe avocadoes, diced and mashed with the juice of 1 lime and salt and pepper to taste 1 large onion, diced (red or white) 2 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded 2 cups cheddar or jack cheese, shredded

Shredded Korean-Style Beef

I could eat this Korean-style shredded beef every week - the kids love it, the husband loves it, and it's so easy! This recipe is a great one for a freezer meal, too - I usually make a double batch to serve half and freeze the other half. It's a go-to when I need a meal to share with a someone who needs one in our school community. I'll throw in a bag of tortilla chips and guac with pico, some fresh pineapple or other fruit, and all of the fixings for the tacos.  You can even buy pre-washed lettuce leaves for wraps if you want to include those and you want a short-cut.  It seems to be a universal favorite for kids and adults. Shredded Korean-Style Beef 2-3 lb. chuck roast 1/2 medium white onion, diced 1/3 c. low-sodium soy sauce 1 tbsp. rice vinegar 1 tsp. sesame oil 1/3 c. honey 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 tbsp. fresh ginger, grated (or 1 tsp. ground) 1/2 jalapeno, minced 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper Put in the roast and onions in your slow cooker, and whi

Oven Baked Pizza Subs

I have fond memories of pizza subs from my college days. We would scrounge up any change or small bills we could find, and pile in someone's car and head to Mineo's for a late night pizza sub.  They were cheap, and they were hot, melty, and delicious.  Here's my attempt at a recipe: Oven Baked Pizza Subs 4-6  hoagie rolls oregano or Italian seasoning slices of provolone cheese (or mozzarella) slices of pepperoni (I get it sliced at the deli for nice big pieces) slices of genoa salami  slices of your favorite ham, sliced very thin 1/2 lb. Italian sausage, browned and drained (turkey Italian sausage is pretty good - optional) your favorite pizza sauce veggies if desired (and I desire them on the parental sandwiches) - thin green pepper slices, thin onion slices, mushrooms if you're into them, banana peppers, etc.   Have on hand: shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes and if you like, mayo - for a really delish spread, mix some mayo, a dash of red wine vinegar, a tiny scoop
