No really! I kid you not, oatmeal really is a super food!  Almost like a super hero, almost I said, it can't fly but it does have super powers known to save mankind from heart attacks and strokes and lower blood sugars and decreases adult obesity.  So why isn't everyone stampeding to the… MORE

My cooking tragedies
When I first got married many years ago, we got our first microwave and I attempted to cook carrots in a corningware dish with a glass lid...anyway, I inadertantly set the timer for 25 minutes and went out in the backyard, next thing I knew the glass lid of the corningware was a molten mass and the carrots had turned into little charcoal briquettes! My husband has never let me hear the end of that one! :)

Pork Tenderloin with Herb Sauce
Excellent way to marinate pork tenderloin, which is what I did vs making the sauce and basting. I used Olive Oil in place of the butter, and used fresh oregano and parsley from my potted herb garden and threw in some fresh rosemary too. Put everything in a ziploc (added 1/4 cup brown sugar) and let the pork marinate inte fridge for 4 hours. Roasted at 375F for about 45 minutes. I reduced the remaining marinade and then added some cornstarch to thicken and served it over the pork - hubs (who is really picky!) loved it! Excellent taste. For those that have said it was 'too vinegary', add the brown sugar to balance the sauce. I am going to try this on beef tenderloin,or even a nice striploin! yum! Thanks for the base recipe, it has lots of promise with the right altering. Normally I do not rate recipes I tweak, but after reading the negative comments, felt the need to make sure others were not scared off from trying it.

Cheese Ravioli with Three Pepper Topping
Great alternative to a tomato sauce. I used veggie broth due to my daughter being vegetarian, and added a pinch of salt and fresh cracked pepper along with a tbsp of fresh, chopped parsley at the end. Excellent over home-made spinach/ricotta ravioli! Thanks for the recipe!

Pork Tenderloin with Apples
Excellent pork tenderloin dish. Only change I made was to drop the wine (subbing with more stock), and adding a splash of spiced rum, WOW is all I have to say. Hubs raved, that's a feat unto itself. :)
