Pork Tenderloin cooks fairly quickly, medium on the grill, 425 in the oven in a temp-save skillet or cast iron pan. “fairly quickly” = around 20-25 minutes, with 10 minute rest time. The middle should be just a little pink. Crispy taters! Boil 2 lbs small potatoes (around 2-3″ diameter) until fork tender. You can… Continue reading 2024-08-26

I might look for some pepperoni, canned mushrooms (sliced), and green peppers. As for sauce, just crack open a can of pizza sauce (normally I yell at people for using pre-made anything, but the cost savings is minimal at best), or make your own: Whisk 6 oz tomato paste and 15 oz tomato sauce, 2-3… Continue reading 2024-08-23

It’s been 3 months, time to make another batch of this ultra-simple meal. I might skip the bread and just stick with the main course on Twitch.  

Regarding recipes that call for sour cream and yogurt: Yogurt = a bit tougher, lighter texture, and a bit of tanginess. It also helps activate the baking powder, but heat is usually enough to do that properly. If a recipe calls for baking soda, don’t skip yogurt or sour cream if it’s listed. You can… Continue reading 2024-08-05
