I get ideas for meals from all over the place. One of my favorites is getting email from my favorite restaurants with updated menus or specials. This particular meal came from that exact source. A local favorite, The Anchorage, emailed a take home meal. I made this up based on their description. I added the…

Pork Loin, Roasted Green Beans and Smashed Fingerling Potatoes with Bleu Cheese Butter
A midweek date night took us to a new local restaurant. We had a fantastic first experience at The Farehouse in Taylors, SC. The space is amazing (in an old bleachery), the drinks were perfect and food was very good. We liked it so much we went back to relive the experience but unfortunately the…
Everything Pork Loin, Wilted Mustard Greens, Pimento Cheese Grits with Mustard Jus
In all honestly, the mustard jus pictured was left over from this recipe: Braised Pork Belly, Roast Beets, Sautéed Mustard Greens with Mustard Jus. I tried to mimic the process for the purposes of this recipe but can’t promise the sauce will be great. It should be, but I’ve haven’t tried it yet. When I…
Roasted Pork Loin, Succotash, Johnny Cakes with Hunter Sauce
First time I ever had Johnny Cakes was at Husk in Charleston, SC (one of my favorite restaurants). They are like savory pancakes but made with cornmeal. Very yummy and a great side when served with a sauce or gravy. I don’t know what inspired me to make them at home, or to combine them…
Bacon Wrapped Pork-loin and Jalapeno Pimento Cheese Grits with Wilted Ramps
One of my favorite meals I made all year. Bacon Wrapped Pork-loin and Jalapeno Pimento Cheese Grits with Wilted Ramps was just perfect.
Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin, Seared Okra and Pimento Cheese Grits
Super easy and impressive meal you can make on a week day, no problem. This was actually inspired by several meals I’ve eaten at restaurants. The bacon wrapped pork came from Soby’s and I’ve blogged before (Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin). The pimento cheese grits I had at Distilled at Gratz Park Inn. The seared okra…
Soby’s Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin with Mashed Potatoes, Broccolini and Habanero Butter Sauce
Soby’s was one of the first upscale restaurants to open up on Main Street here in Greenville, SC. We’ve had a number of important dinners there, including our wedding dinner. As long as I have been going there, one of my favorite meals has been the bacon wrapped pork loin with broccolini, mashed potatoes and…
Thai Pork Tenderloin and Coconut Jasmine Rice with Edamame
Walking into the grocery, I had no ideas…until I noticed pork tenderloin on sale. After a long weekend we really just wanted something light and refreshing. This coconut jasmine rice is very light and the edamame adds a bit of crunch. This is an easy, light meal. HA, too funny! After writing this entire post,…
Roast Herb Pork, Succotash and Baked Polenta Fries
This succotash recipe is one of my favorites. I liked everything about the roast pork loin and baked polenta fries, but this meal is all about the succotash. The herbed pork was very tender, a bit too pink for my better half, but very nice. I liked the idea of the polenta fries and I…
Ginger-Marinated Pork Tenderloin with Jasmine Edamame Rice
I was in the mood for Asian food and the pork tenderloin looked good that day (and was on sale), so I made ginger marinated pork tenderloin with jasmine edamame rice.
