Low calorie, easy and delicious!
Another day at home with little water. I am clean though. Just took a bath in about 2 inches of water. Brought me back to the days of staying at my grandmother’s farm with no running water. It was fun when I was 5 years old , but now you could say I am spoiled! The news is that it could be into next week before our water is back to normal. It could be worse.
I usually grill pork tenderloin , but with all the rain I pulled out an old recipe from pork The Other White Meat. Pork is so versatile. I serve this with Hashbrown Casserole ( I will share the recipe later ) or a baked potato and something green like asparagus, broccoli, or green salad. All of this is quick and easy to do. Here is the recipe.
Cajun Pork Roast
- 2 lb. boneless pork loin roast
- cooking oil
- 3 Tbs. paprika
- 1/2 tsp. red pepper
- 1 Tbs. garlic powder
- 2 tsp. oregano
- 2 tsp. thyme
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. white pepper
- 1/2 tsp. cumin
- 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
Combine all the seasonings
Brush the roast with oil using Le Creuset silicone brush
Rub seasoning over roast
Place in pan and roast 350 degrees
Roast until internal tempt. is 155 degrees
Your prep time is only about 5 minutes and the oven does the rest. After taking out of the oven let it rest for about 10 minutes. This serves 6 at 196 calories each. ENJOY!!

usually, i never mix all of the ingredients together before putting them on! i normally do it one at a time, but i learned that it’s better to mix them first!

My perspective on cooking pork was that it takes a long time, but these recipe made me think again about it.
