Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, combine salt, Creole seasoning, paprika powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and flour. Dredge the chicken in the seasoning mixture and shake off excess. Reserve any leftover spice/flour mix for the sauce.
  2. Preheat large saute pan, add olive oil and melt butter over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken tenders until done, about 8 minutes (3-4 minutes per each side). Remove from the pan.
  3. Add 4 tablespoons of butter to the empty skillet and add remaining seasoning mixture into the butter and cook it until flour is no longer raw. Add more paprika and heavy cream into the skillet. Bring to a boiling point.
  4. Lower heat and simmer 3-4 minutes. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning to your liking.
  5. Pasta
  6. Boil pasta in salty water, drain, but do not rinse. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water. If you think the sauce needs thinning, add reserved pasta water to the sauce. Add it slow - as much as you would like to have according to your liking.
  7. Add cooked pasta into the sauce and stir until fully coated. Add chicken into the skillet with pasta to reheat.
  8. Serve with sauce spooned over chicken and pasta, and sprinkled with chopped parsley.

Cindy’s Pork Wellington

Cindy's Pork Wellington
This was adapted from a variety of recipes - see links for original recipes below - and is definitely a work in progress, but a good start! I think it was a bit rich, and needed more herbs, etc. I didn't have a onion - amazingly enough - and I wasn't able to find my dried, minced onion, and I think that was really needed for the pate.

Instructions
  1. Remove frozen puff pastry to thaw - it takes about 40 minutes, at least the one I used.
  2. Remove pork from fridge, pat dry, and season with salt and pepper. Preheat oven to 400F.
  3. In a medium-high skillet, heat olive oil. Brown pork on each side, then remove from skillet and let rest and cool.
  4. Mix braunschweiger, cream cheese, onion powder, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt & pepper. Let cool in fridge.
  5. With one sheet of puff pastry, thaw per package directions and roll out on a sheet of parchment paper so that it is large enough to completely cover the pork roast. Lay the bacon slices on the rolled dough, so that the bacon also completely covers the roast.
  6. Spread the Braunschweiger mixture over the bacon. (I had originally cut slices in the roast and added some pate, bur I think that's too much, too rich). There will probably be extra - it's pretty good with crackers.
  7. Place the roast on top of the mixture, then use the parchment paper to help roll everything up. Tuck in the sides of the dough, and trim any excess. You can use the excess to cut fun little shapes to place on top as decoration. (I didn't have any left.) Cut slits lightly in the top of the dough but not going though the bacon.
  8. Use parchment paper to move the Wellington to a baking sheet, then put in oven and bake for 20 minutes. Recude heat to 350 and bake another 15 minutes, or until internal temperature is 135F for medium rare, 150F for medium. Let sit for 20 minutes before serving. Remember: meat will continue cooking for several minutes while it is resting, and resting is important!
  9. Slice and serve!

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Cut diagonally into the chicken breasts about 1/4 inch deep in an x shape to allow the bbq sauce to flavor more of the chicken. (like how a holiday ham has the top cut into an x shape).
  3. Add all the ingredients together in a large bowl and toss well together until mixed.
  4. Add the chicken to a sheet pan, then pour the sauce over the chicken breasts.
  5. Cook for 25 -30 minutes or until caramelized, browned and cooked through.
  6. Shred the chicken with the forks and serve in your favorite bun, spooning the sauce over the chicken.
  7. If the sauce didn't cook down enough (if you use a pan that's too small it may not), then add the sauce to a saucepan and cook on medium heat until thickened (likely 15-20 minutes).
Recipe Notes

Original Recipe:  https://dinnerthendessert.com/bbq-pulled-chicken/

I had a bit over 2 lb, so I think I should have had more sauce.  Also, we shredded the chicken, then mixed it together, covered the pan in foil, and put back in the oven for a few minutes, maybe 10-15 minutes.  Awesome!

I plan to do more work on the sauce - I think I can make it better!  🙂

Never tried this before, basically wanted to use up some gruyere that I left out of another recipe (damnit).  Will update with notes after I've tried it to see what happens.  Hopefully it works well!

Instructions
  1. Mix flour, garlic & onion powder, salt, red & black pepper in a shallow container for dredging.
  2. Put the beaten egg in one shallow dish, and milk in another shallow dish.
  3. Combine 1 Tbsp each butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until melted and oil and butter are shimmering but not smoking.
  4. Coat pork chops, one at a time, in milk, then dredge in flour mix, then coat with beaten egg, and finally dredge again in flour mix, trying to keep the pork chop completely covered with the coating. Place carefully in skillet.
  5. Cook for ~3-5 minutes, depending on the thickness, until the coating in light golden brown and slightly crispy, and you can see where it is starting to cook up the sides of the chops. Turn carefully to keep breading intact, and turn away from you to avoid grease spatter and burns. Cook another 3-5 minutes as needed, then remove from the skillet and cover with foil for a few minutes before eating. If at any time the skillet is without any butter/oil, or starts sticking, add more butter & oil as needed. Serve hot.
  6. OPTIONAL: If you have any burnt crunchy bit on the bottom of the skillet, you can stir in a few herbs or onions; deglaze with chicken or beef stock, water, or wine; mix in a Tbsp or two or flour, and cook at medium-low heat until thickened and ready to use as a pan sauce.

Instructions
  1. Put the pork tenderloin in the bottom of a slow cooker.
  2. Pour in water, bouillon, and Worcestershire sauce into the slow cooker.
  3. In a small bowl, stir together remaining ingredients. Sprinkle mixture over pork.
  4. Cover slow cooker and cook on Low for 3 1/2 hours. {If possible, flip pork over after 2 1/2 hours.}
  5. Place pork in separate container, cover tightly to keep warm.
  6. Place a small amount of the liquid in a small container with a lid, pour the rest in a saucepan.
  7. Mix the flour with the liquid in the small container and shake until well mixed. Add to saucepan and stir while heating, being sure to mix well and breaking up any lumps. Heat until thickened to your liking, stirring constantly.
  8. Or, if you're brave, you can add all of the liquid to the pan, and add the flour gradually and directly to it, whisking vigorously and constantly while heating to ensure flour is evenly distributed.
  9. Add the roast back to the gravy.
  10. Serve pork with the gravy - especially good over smashed potatoes.
Recipe Notes

Should be 140-165F internal temperature.

  1. Dump it all in a sauce pan, heat to a simmer, stirring frequently. Give the seasonings a half hour or more to cook together, then taste and add more of whatever as needed. Just remember - Oregano gets stronger as it cooks, so you need to have plenty of time to let it cook and release the oils, or you can easily get too much!
  2. If you want - I do - use a blender or hand mixer to smooth out the sauce a bit.
