an ode to my prior cooking.


blakey & i were in the mood for some good ole' comfort food this weekend.  the kind of food that makes you smile, doesn't make you think or work too hard, takes few ingredients, few steps, & few dirty dishes.

& this was a fabulous meal.

first up, greek pork tenderloin.  marinate the pork for a few hours in lime juice, garlic, oil, salt, & dried oregano.  then bake to perfection.


next up: potato boats.  these will be my favorite thing to cook for the rest of my life, thanks very much to my baking & bible girls.  recipe {here}.


we also tried a new dish that the savory class next to my pastry class made the other night.  it was quite delicious.  cherry tomatoes, orange bell peppers, red onion, green onions, goat cheese, garlic, salt, pepper, evoo.  yummm.

& my mom's garlic bread to finish the meal: french bread slices with melted butter & garlic salt on both sides, broiled on both sides.  love it.

so happy the mcgowans joined us for the day!

 {lola & tanky had so much fun at the park!}

 {if ya like it then you shoulda put a ring on it...}

{& of course, the evening ended with a little shuffleboard}

who ever said dishes had to be complicated to be fantastic?  absolutely not.

love love,
kjp.
