We have no travel plans for the holiday weekend and don't feel up to hosting a family gathering. We like to do ribs once during the summer and will grill a rack tomorrow. I will prep the baby back ribs later today with a dry rub and let them sit in the fridge overnight. While they're roasting in the oven tomorrow, I'll make a glaze to brush on the ribs when we put them on the grill. I'm also going to prep baked beans today, put them in my beanpot and refrigerate overnight, then put them in the oven tomorrow while the ribs roast. DH got some rich chocolate fudge mini cakes at Costco for our holiday dessert, and we also have a whole watermelon. I'll make a main dish pasta salad over the weekend. Mostly we're just going to try to stay cool, read, and relax.
Whatever your plans for the 4th of July, please be safe and enjoy your time with family and friends.
Today we made a big batch of 'Pork Tenderloin Surprises' on our Grill. This is one of my favorite meals.
I am trying like heck to figure out how to transfer a picture from my I-Phone to this site. Not so much success yet, but I will keep trying until I figure it out!!
In a nutshell, the recipe goes as follows:
Cut about 1# piece of pork tenderloin into 4 pieces. Trim off only the silver skin.
Cut a medium sized tomato into 4 slices
Cut a medium sized sweet onion into 4 slices
Cut a green pepper into 4 square pieces
To assemble:
Cross cross two strips of bacon.
Next layer, Pork Tenderloin, sweet onion, tomato then green pepper to make a bundle.
Bring up ends of bacon to secure the bundle with 4 (or more) with toothpicks.
Grill on MOM (med/off/med) for about 55 minutes.
I usually served with Wild Rice (Uncle Bens)
I will figure out how to post this picture even if it is the end of me.....
