Chipotle Butter Infused Pork Tenderloin (Crock Pot)

October 29, 2015 Amanda Plott

I've been in meal prep. mode this week while I get ready for another upcoming trip this weekend for Halloween. I'm taking my little Ice Queen to my 'home town' to trick or treat with friends and family there. In the midst of it, I wanted to keep myself sane with just cooking a couple of meals that I could re-heat easily through the week.

One of the things that I wanted to cook up was this versatile pork tenderloin. Since I've been super busy, I thought it would be a great time to get out the old crock pot to cook this batboy up. While I wanted to keep the pork interchangeable, I also wanted it to have a lot of really good flavor...

Melon, Mozzarella, Tomato & Prosciutto Snack

July 17, 2015 Amanda Plott

So, I've found lately that eating a couple of lighter snacks in the afternoon instead of an actual lunch has been fitting into my crazy schedule a bit better. Especially when at least one of the snacks includes cheese, I mean... come on. Who doesn't look forward to a little indulgence with cheese? I know I do!

This past week I ordered up a local fresh mozzarella from my grocery service, which I have to say... tastes about a hundred times better from the fresh mozzarella that you get from the grocery store. I was absolutely shocked with the difference between the local fresh mozzarella and what I've become used to. So if you can get your hands on some local mozzarella, I implore you to do so.

You won't regret it!...

Healthified B.B.Q. Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese

July 8, 2015 Amanda Plott

Here in Texas, we are all about our BBQ. I think that we will just about put BBQ meat in anything, sandwich, taco, casserole, you name it - we put BBQ in it. A few weeks ago I was at a local movie theater here in Austin which was running a special in July for a pulled pork grille cheese. They were all out of one, so I didn't get to order it, but they did have a pre-show commercial that came on the screen showing what all went into the sandwich.

I was entranced. Inspired. De{light}ed.

As soon as I got home I started to come up with my own ways to make the sandwich healthier and lighter...

Crock Pot Pumpkin & Maple Pork Tenderloin

Oh. My. Goodness.

My house smelled like maple heaven for an entire day with this cooking up in the kitchen. And yes, it tastes just as great at it smells! It was all I could do to keep from going in there towards dinner time and picking off the 'crispy' end pieces to snack on.

Yes, I'm that one. My mom and I are well known for tag-teaming the burnt ends at any family barbecue.

This pumpkin maple tenderloin was pretty amazing and perfectly fitting with pumpkin season and fall weather as it rolls in. I was a little skeptical at first since I'm not generally a fan of adding sweetness to my pork, but it was just the right amount of sweet and tang with the apple cider vinegar...

Healthified Pork Skewers "Faux Ribs"

August 13, 2014 Amanda Plott

Is it bad of me to tell you that even as a Texan... I can't stand to eat meat off the bone? I'm a white meat only (no dark meat here) and boneless kind of girl. I always have been for as long as I can possibly remember. That's right. I don't care for ribs on the bone, wings (or legs) on the bone, or even steak on the bone! No bones.

I've said it before, I could very easily become a vegetarian without skipping a beat. In fact, I've found that eating meatless dinners 2-3 days of the week slash my grocery bill and helps me to feel better overall. That being said, I am a Texan and barbecue is a weekly requirement as well!

Since I'm a boneless fan, skewers are sort my go-to for faux ribs. It gives me that raw carnivore feel while not grossing me out in the process. Plus, I get to use a leaner cut of meat for my 'ribs' - which meals less calories and less guilt...

Healthified Crock Pot Pulled Pork & Mustard B.B.Q. Sauce

June 10, 2014 Amanda Plott

This post was brought to you by the makers of French’s Yellow Mustard. I received compensation to write this post through the French’s Naturally Amazing Program … but, all opinions expressed are my own.

This BBQ sandwich is to-die-for.

The mustard BBQ sauce has quite a kick to it on it's own, but when you combine it with the natural sweetness from the pork... it's a beautiful, beautiful thing.

I'm from Texas, so I'd like to think that I came out of the womb knowing a thing or two about BBQ.

I had suddenly found myself with an overwhelming about of French's mustard that was provided at no cost to me. I was then poised with some serious internal debate. What am I going to do with all this mustard?

Of course, one of my very first thoughts... was BBQ sauce...
