Pork Roast

Asparagus. I love to shop at Market Basket in New Hampshire. They have a great produce section and even better prices. Most days you can find fresh asparagus for only $2 per pound!!

One of my favorite veggies to roast with a little oil, S&P = easy, yummy and healthy!!

GO GREEN VEGGIES!

When we were at Aunt Jeanne's for my birthday, she had a whole pork loin that she shared with us. We put it in the freezer for a couple of weeks, but broke it out on Saturday to have this lovely dinner we cooked together.

We also roasted some red and sweet potatoes. The sweets ended up turning into little candied treats. Again, just a little oil, S&P, so healthy and tasty!!


Finally, from the America's Test Kitchen cookbook, this is a brandy cream sauce. Apple, onion, LOTS of fresh sage and a little cream cheese. It was simple to prepare, and since it is cooked over low heat the onion keeps it's flavor and the apples didn't break down into the sauce.

After eating a heaping pile of this delicious meal - we ended up with the plate of leftovers below.

All ready to be thrown in the oven and reheated to perfection! I highly recommend this sauce. It would be great with chicken or pork. Only a few ingredients, most of which we have in the house always. Another way to use those apples we pick in the fall - or to have an excuse to buy some crunchy granny smith apples at the store. Also - we have fresh sage growing in our garden in the summer, so I could see this on a grilled pork chop on a sunny afternoon too!
