Pork Tenderloins
photo and recipe from the Foodie Sisters
1 package of pork tenderloins (2 tenderloins total about 2-2.5lbs)
4 garlic cloves, quartered/sliced/slivered
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoon country dijon mustard (whole grain mustard)
4 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoon fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary or Herbs de Provence
freshly ground pepper, to taste
3 tablespoon olive oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Take tenderloins out of package. Rinse and pat dry. Spray a 9x13 baking dish and place tenderloins inside.
Use a paring knife and poke holes on the top side of the tenderloins, about an inch deep. Place a garlic piece into each hole.
(Sorry I forgot to get a picture, but you can see Monica's.)
Make the marinade next. In a measuring cup or bowl, whisk together everything except for olive oil. Then slowly drizzle in the oil while whisking. Pour marindade over pork and b
ake, uncovered, for 45 minutes, basting once halfway through cooking process.
Once removed from the oven, let pork rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before cutting in.
Don't forget to pour the sauce over it. The sauce is heavenly!

Seasoned Rosemary Potatoes
Ingredients (I never measure anything)
Potatoes
Olive Oil
Rosemary (fresh minced, or dried)
Garlic Salt
Slice potatoes into small thin pieces and place in a bowl. Drizzle olive oil on top. Sprinkle with rosemary and garlic salt. Toss until all potatoes are coated with oil, rosemary, and garlic salt.
Place into 8x11 pyrex dish. Broil on high for about 25 minutes (until potatoes are soft and browned to your liking). Turn every 5-10 minutes to prevent burning and cook evenly.
Sweet Potato Souffle
6 cups sweet potatoes mashed (I use 2-29 oz cans princella brand, can use fresh)
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 cup melted butter
5 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup evaporated milk
Mix first three ingredients in a mixer, add the next 3 and mix until blended. Pour in a 9x13 casserole dish
Topping:
2/3 cup melted butter
1 cup brown sugar
Pinch of salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup flour
Melt butter in microwave, add the rest of ingredients and mix well..will look like wet sand. I use my hands to sprinkle evenly over the top. Bake at 350 for 35-40 min. Should not be soupy...if the top is browning too much, cover with foil.
Enjoy!

Pumpkin Bread Pudding
12 oz. evaporated milk
24 oz. coconut milk
8 large eggs
3 cups dark brown sugar
2 tsp ground Cinnamon
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp ground ginger
2 tsp salt
2 french bread loaves
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup golden raisins *** I have never put in the chocolate chips or raisins
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a bowl combine the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, coconut milk and eggs together and mix well. In another bowl combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, ginger and salt together and mix well. Combine the puree mixture and brown sugar mixture together and blend well. Set aside until needed. You may leave mixture at room temperature for up to 2 hours.
Prepare a 9x13 baking dish with spray grease. Cut the French bread in to 1/2" cubes and put them into the pumpkin mix very gently toss to help the bread absorb all the liquid. Pour into the baking dish. If you are doing the chips and raisins, sprinkle them over the top and gently press them into the bread.
Bake for 45-50 minutes. If you stick a butter knife into the center of the pudding and it pulls out mostly clean, then it is done. It is recommended to let it sit for about 45 minutes to cool. It falls apart completely if you dish it up right away. It is delicious warm with a fair amount of carmel sauce drizzled over each serving, and then topped with freshly, sweetened Whipping Cream.
Carmel Sauce
4 Tbsp. butter
1 1/4 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup white corn syrup
3/4 cup cream, half and half or canned milk (I usually use half and half)
Melt butter, add syrup and sugar. Cook till forms very soft ball stage (takes just a few minutes - I just wait for it to bubble) Then, add the cream, and gently stir in till well blended.
