So... first , this happened today! And, I'm usually ready and waiting, but this caught me totally off guard! How AWESOME! And then... with the snow day and all.... this happened!
And then, THIS happened! Granola... and a house that smells like heaven full of oats and cinnamon and maple syrupy goodness!
And then.. You didn't think all that fresh baked granola was safe from hungry boys... did you? (Boys infiltrating the granola Christmas Goodies....) Like we didn't see THAT coming!!!
And, of course, there was a little bit of this.... new songs to learn, and some Christmas classics to try... John Denver and the Muppet's style... just sayin'!!
BUT, this is a food blog! Not a "Snow Day" blog.... And with all this time on my hands... and with this unexpected day off... there was pork tenderloin and another power salad! And it started with the salad!!
ONE Heck of a salad! Fresh greens, a can of garbanzo beans (rinsed), grated carrots, cucumber (chopped), 2 chopped scallions, and a handful of radishes chopped! Crispy, crunchy, tastiness!! Now, I wanted to add some feta cheese, but the wrestlers and protien-obsessed calorie counters said NO! So, I refrained.... for now...
And, because we're total carnivores... we added some pork tenderloin to our power salad tonight! And we loved it!
After seasoning up these two tenderloins with salt, pepper, garlic powder, rosemary and thyme, I seared them off in a medium hot pan with some olive oil! Just roll them around until all sides are brown and seared! Your house smells like a French Bistro.... and your mouth is watering.... your welcome!! Now, pop those pork tenderloins into a 375 degree oven for 15 minutes, or until a thermometer reads 137 degrees.
Using my favorite kitchen gadget, I took the temp on my pork, and it read about 130, so I gave it another 5 minutes... and it was perfect!!!
Now, here's the part Joe hates... that pork smells freakin' delicious.... killer good... and... it has to rest! WHA'???? Yup, rest, covered in foil, for at least 10 minutes!
A disgruntled Joe refused to appear on the blog tonight... but here is his disgruntled plate... waiting for pork to rest... tic, toc, tic, toc (serious pain, food waiting, meat smelling pain, in the waiting)!
AND Finally!!! Delicious pork tenderloin and power packed salad! Delicious tasty protein and sweet greens and creamy garbanzo beans (full of even more protein)!! Dinner Joe's way!
Dinner Stevie's way... protein power packed salad and pork tenderloin as well... but with a little dressing and crunchy croutons! The way it should be! Thank you snow day!
