Pulled Pork #MOLOmonday

If this is your first time visiting a MOLO post on Food & Whine, you’re in for a treat. On the first Monday of each month, I share creative ways to use up your leftovers. This time, I started off with an easy pulled pork that I cooked all day in the slow cooker. The first night, I made pulled…

Balsamic Maple Pork Tenderloin #MOLOmonday

It’s been a glorious summer, and although I’m a little sad to see it coming to an end, I really love the fall with all its colorful foliage, cozy sweaters, and warm mugs of pumpkin spice lattes. But before I jump into fall, it’s nice to take advantage of the remnants of good weather we have left. We’re…

Mango Chili Pork Tenderloin

  Grilling season is upon us, and I’d love nothing more than to sit out in the sun with a cold drink while grilling up a tasty dinner for us. Unfortunately, we have no deck. Tony tore it down last spring, with plans to replace it over the summer, but due to unforeseen circumstances —…

Gluten-Free Spaghetti Quiche

I don’t have a problem with gluten – in fact, I love the chewy texture that it gives to dough – but if you happen to have an intolerance to gluten, it can often be challenging to find gluten-free products that have a nice texture and taste. My mom has a sensitivity to gluten, so she knows this…

Creamy Perogie Dinner

I have a weakness for perogies.  To me, they are the ultimate comfort food.  I try to go easy on the carbs most of the time, but when it comes to perogies, I just can’t help myself.  And they make such a quick and easy dinner, so that’s a big bonus right there.  If it…

Pork Picadillo Wraps

Several months ago, I had the opportunity to attend a cooking class at Well Seasoned in Langley BC on how to cook perfect pork, featuring Johnston’s Local Quality BC Pork.  Along with other local bloggers and foodies in media, I sipped Narrative wine while watching Angie Quaale from Well Seasoned prepare delicious pork dishes for us all to sample….

Ham, Potato and Squash Soup #MOLOmonday

  This time on MOLO Monday, I’m making this gorgeous soup out of the leftovers from baked ham, scalloped potatoes and acorn squash. I’ll also give you the shopping list for these meals, to make it a little easier for you. For the baked ham, I love to use Pioneer Woman’s Easter Ham. This is a…

Slow-Cooker Apple Maple Pork Tenderloin

Bennett has been taking karate lessons from 5:30-6:00pm on Wednesdays, so that night has become our slow-cooker dinner night. We come in the door after karate to a hot dinner waiting for us. One Wednesday, I decided to make up a recipe using a pork tenderloin in the slow-cooker. I found one lonely Ambrosia apple…

Pork Tenderloin and Apples

As I was putting this post together, I noticed I’ve already done a post about pork tenderloin and apples. In fact, I’ve done two of them already. I just love the combination of pork and apples apparently. This recipe is definitely the simplest of the three. It’s really quick but still fancy enough for a…

Slow Cooked Ribs

Hey there, remember me? I’m back and I’m finally posting a new recipe! Sorry to be absent for so long. I don’t really even have a good excuse, since we`ve been back from our trip for almost 2 weeks now. We went to Cuba for our 10th wedding anniversary (kidless!) and it was wonderful. Here are some…
