Veggie Stuffed Pork Loin



I have this nice pork loin, and I'm trying to figure out what to do with it. Well I decided to stuff it with some vegetables...
This should be fun & healthy! I used:   


1 carrot
4 mushrooms
1 red pepper
1/2 onion
5 asparagus spears 
minced garlic
herb oil
salt & pepper









I decided to filet the loin instead of all that pounding!! 


laid my vegetables on the loin and re-wrapped it up tightly and trusted to stop spillage and to seal in flavors.





next step is to sear off your loin. 


after searing you would be crazy to let the fond go to waste.
Sweat  leftover veggies and make a pan sauce.




I cook to the internal temp of 130 degrees!




I know your ready!! But let's let our loin rest for 10 minutes!!!




Ok know we have something beautiful here!!!






I served mines on a bed of rice and added the pan sauce..

Banna Pudding Cupcake





Well by now you know I like to try new things! I had leftover cake mix and decided to experiment!! so this is what I came up with.. a new cupcake!
You will have to see my Banana Pudding Cake for the recipe. This will yield 3 dozen cupcakes


Use a cup to make sure you have evenly filled your cups.





 I used a corer to remove the the center of the cupcakes.







I piped banana pudding into the cavity of the center of the cupcake.







I used whipped cream, and garnished with vanilla wafer, and banana slice.





THERE YOU HAVE IT!!!
