Jan. 25, 2006 - A Few Fave Recipes...
Last night I tried something new for dinner and it ended up being pretty yummy and very easy!!
Of course, with it just being the two of us, I didn't make this whole recipe. I cut it in half and that seemed to work out well. Also, with this I also made some cilantro potatoes that I've made before and that Travis LOVES! Here's the recipe for them...
8 to 10 small red potatoes, unpeeled and quartered
2 tablespoons butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Travis and I LOVE eating dishes with cilantro in them!! MmmmmmmMMMMmm. We have several other favorite recipes with cilantro I'll post another time for ya'll.
I still have some pork teder loin I need to use up... Does anyone have any good suggestions for how to cook it???
Simple Savory Pork Roast

INGREDIENTS:

DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Cilantro Potatoes
INGREDIENTS:
8 to 10 small red potatoes, unpeeled and quartered
2 tablespoons butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
DIRECTIONS:
- Place potatoes in medium saucepan; add just enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and cook for about 10 minutes or just until tender. Drain.
- In the same saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes or until tender. Add potatoes, chili powder and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
Serves 2-3
I usually don't have the small red potatoes, so I just use the regular kind. This seems to work fine, but I have found that doing it this way I need to at least double the amount of butter.

I linked over to your blog from your comment on Mary Jo's Writing Tips. Thanks for these great recipes -- I can't wait to try them! I've got a delicious Cranberry Pork crockpot recipe from the Fix It and Forget It cookbook. Always reminds me of Autumn.
