Easy Recipe for a Soft and Juicy Tenderloin 


       It’s a classic that never gets old. You never get sick of eating it, and no one ever gets sick of making it. Plain, with sauce, or playing hide and sneak under the mash potatoes and peas. One of my favorite things to make and eat is a good old fashion roast pork tenderloin. The meat is so tender, and the broth is so versatile it can be used for almost anything from appetizers to main courses. Pork Tenderloin is used in a variety of dishes and is even a good substitute for chicken because hey it is ‘the other white meat.’ You may have heard of it by its other names such as Pork Fillet, Gentlemen’s Cut, or my personal favorite Pulled Pork, but one thing is for sure. No matter what you called it tastes extradentary. This recipe is simple, straightforward, and uses very few ingredients, which makes it the perfect candidate for adding to other dishes later.

Ingredients:

Pork tenderloin any size
1 Teaspoon Salt pepper
½ Teaspoon Garlic powder
½ Teaspoon Pepper
2 cups of water
Note: And extra salt pepper and garlic powder for seasoning the meat to taste.

Pour 2cups of water into a medium to a large size slow cooker that is switched off. Then season the water with your dry ingredients. Seasoning the water is a very important step that a lot of people miss when cooking. It doesn’t matter if you’re making tenderloin or boiling pasta your water needs to be seasoned to bring out the full flavor of your dish. If you have ever had spaghetti that tastes like water that is the reason why. Seasons the water before boiling the pasta and it will be the best spaghetti in town!

Next rinse your tenderloin in cold water and liberally rub on salt, pepper, and garlic powder all over to taste. Don’t be scared of adding too much seasoning a lot of it will run off as it cooks. If you are scared that you might rub too much seasoning on I also like to not season the meat and only season the fat side on occasions when I cook the roast fat side up like I did today. The water is already seasoned so if you want a light flavor I recommend only seasoning the fat side.

Place the tenderloin into the crockpot put the lid on and turn on high. It’s that easy! Now I could tell you to cook it for 5 to 8 hours, but I think that is the wrong advice. Normally I cook the roast overnight while I sleep. The secret to getting a really soft and juicy roast constantly is two things. One, cook the meat until it’s tender and falling apart and two once it’s done cooking let it rest before cutting into it. Rushing the meat and not waiting for it to cook all the way makes it tuff and chewy and not letting it rest and cool before cutting it makes all the juice run out and cools it to fast which also makes it tuff but also dry and chewy. The recommended resting time for the average pork tenderloin is 10 minutes,  give or take for smaller or larger than average sizes.

Whole Wheat Wonton Wrappers Recipe

     One thing we really enjoy eating in my family is Wonton soup. What really makes the soup is the wonton wrappers. Unfortunately, we are in Maple One thing we really enjoy eating in my family is Wonton soup. What really makes the soup is the wonton wrappers. Wonton soup without good wrappers is like chicken noodle soup without egg noodles. Unfortunately, we are in Maple  Ridge BC right now and are unable to find any wonton wrappers. Fortunately, I have a wonton wrapper recipe up my sleeves. The reason I'm making whole wheat wrappers is for one it's healthier than white flour, and for two the baby in my belly won't let me eat bleached grains. If you're at a place in your life where you have no wonton wrappers, or you can only have whole grains give this a try and let me know what you think. Ingredients 2 Cups All-purpose Wheat Flour 2 Tablespoons olive oil 1 Teaspoon salt 1 Cup water Items needed that you might not have in your kitchen ...

              Fried wontons, boiled wontons, steamed wontons, it doesn’t really matter to me how they are cooked they are all good in my opinion. The types of filling those cute little savory dumplings of goodness have in them are endless, and I love them all. There is, however, something to be said about the good old fashion tried and true pork wonton. They are unbelievably good! It doesn’t matter what’s mixed in with the pork as long as it’s a pork wonton. Now I understand that not everyone eats pork. So if you want to substitute the pork in this recipe rest assured I substitute all the time and it is amazing as well. You can use anything you like but here are some examples of items I most common use in absence of pork are; Chicken, cream cheese, potatoes, cabbage, spinach and cream cheese, and cheddar cheese.  If you decide to go with cheddar cheese, make sure to add the shredded cheddar to the fully cooked ingredients after they have coo...

Canadian Pierogi Nachos Recipes

  On our first road trip to Canada after we decided that we would move there one day. As soon as we crossed the border we stop at a restaurant to have lunch. We found a small town with similar restaurants and fast food chains to American, which wasn’t what we were looking for. We wanted something new, some local food, something Canadian. Right, when we were about to move on to the next town is when we saw it. Next to the town hall was a small modern diner with a jukebox, and on the menu, there were a lot of familiar items. One thing that was different was ginger ale its rare in America to find ginger ale on a menu (I know because I like ginger ale and look for it) so I was hoping this was the new norm in Canada and it turns out it is. The other item on the menu that was new to us was pierogi nachos. We never heard of pierogis before and these seemed amazing. Fried golden brown pierogis stuffed we potatoes and cheese, top...
