Garlic Italian Peperoncini Pork

This is our absolute favorite way to cook pork.  I’ve cooked this in the crock pot, and it is great that way, but Love it cooked in the oven, even more.   Pork butt and country ribs alike are fantastic cooked this way!   We buy pork on sale, or a bigger piece, and have it cut so we can eat now and save for later.  This is perfect for pulled pork or as a meat for your meal.  

Pot Pie Your Way

My oldest has been wanting me to make a pot pie lately.  Of course, I had to oblige.  This was so easy to make .... I don't know why I haven't done so before.  Use any leftover meat and vegetable combinations to make this comfort food.  Enjoy!

Baked Breaded Bacon

My hubby, Ted, bought bacon the other day while grocery shopping.  Yep,  he does that!  I didn't know what I was going to cook tonight.  While rummaging around in the fridge, I found it.

Okay..now I have bacon.  What am I going to do with it?   I remembered Nel of The Paper Cup Kitchen  mentioned cooking bacon in the oven,  on her facebook.  I don't recall the instructions for it but do remember thinking that my Sweet Grandma and Mama did that!  I also remembered them breading the bacon with flour.  Flour........I used seasoned flour the other day when I fried fish.  Oh My Gosh,  this is really sounding good to me now.  Now I know what I have to do.  I hope you like it like we did.  These were very thin pieces of bacon and did very well.  Boys kept coming back for more.  I broke the bacon in halves.  One boy had 6 pieces, one had 4 and the other doesn't like bacon....I know can you imagine? lol  <3 and hUgs!

Baked Breaded Bacon

12 oz or however much you want to cook,  low sodium bacon

1 to 2 cups seasoned flour...any breading mix will work, or make your own

I used Kentucky Kernel Seasoned Flour

Spray cookie sheets. I used 2 for 12 oz.

Put flour on a plate, in bowl or plastic bag.

Coat bacon completely.

Place on greased cookie sheets.

Place in COLD oven.

Turn oven on to 350 degrees.

Cook for 10 minutes and get out of oven.

Flip the bacon over and put back in oven, turning pans around.

Cook for another 3 - 5 minutes, if it is not done, continue cooking and check every minute or two, so it doesn't burn.

Take out when done..browned and almost crisp.

Place on paper towels to absorb excess grease. 

Enjoy!  <3 and hUgs!

Lemon Pepper Pork Loin

We love pork!  We were in a hurry all day and needed something fast to cook.  A pork loin is the perfect solution.  It cooks fast, is moist and delicious!  The leftovers, if there are any, are great in wraps or salads for lunch. 

So moist and yummy! Cooked in 35 minutes. The Boys arranged it to look like a flower. Just getting them involved, even though they didn't actually cook, was fun and rewarding for them. They were so proud of their work! :D

Lemon Pepper Pork Loin

1  1/2 lb center cut pork loin

1/2 - 1 teaspoon freshly ground lemon pepper, I use McCormick grinders

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 - 1 teaspoon coarse ground garlic with parsley

non stick olive oil spray

1 teaspoon lemon juice

Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray cookie sheet and pork loin with olive oil spray.  Season with salt, lemon pepper and garlic on both sides and ends.  Cook for 26-30 minutes per pound.  Internal temperature should be 155-160 degrees.  Sprinkle with lemon juice once it out of oven.  Let sit at least 5 minutes before slicing. 

The Boys arranged the pork loin to look like a flower!  <3
