A (not a crockpot) Give-Away

Helllllooooooo there. I have stuff to give away. Last night I attended the BlogHer Valentine's Day meet up in San Francisco; it was a lot of fun. I sort of lost my voice though. I had the neat honor of being able to demonstrate the new Nintendo DS interactive cookbook: Personal Trainer Cooking.

It's very cool. I made bruschetta. Not in the crockpot. The kids and I played around with the game for about a week (they have DSes. is that the proper plural for DS?) before I did the presentation. They really liked how it was voice activated, and loved the cooking/chopping demonstration videos---especially the one on how to prepare sardines.

I have a copy of the game to give away (unfortunately you need a DS in order to play it...), a cool Nintendo messenger bag, and some refrigerator magnets.

I'm also going to give away a copy of the 30 Day Shred. I really like The Shred. But I only did 14 days in a row. Then I got horribly sick and couldn't bend over without my head feeling like it was going to explode in a hundred million pieces. I'm pretty sure I had (maybe I still have, I'm not certain) a sinus infection, but never went to the doctor. I'm almost 92% better, but still have weird problems swallowing and my glands are swollen.

Other than that, I'm peachy-keen. BUT! The Shred works, and if you do it, you'll notice a difference right away. The first 4 days are filled with excruciating agony, however, so please be aware. All you need for the video is a pair of light (2-3 pound) dumbbells, although you could also use cans of beans.

Don't do what I did, which was to move on to level 2 prematurely. There are a lot of lunges in level 2 and my knees were NOT happy. They are popping now every time I sit and stand. I'm falling apart. Jenny wrote a post re-capping what she and I did with the Shred.
I really should start it up again today. But it's Saturday. hmm.


I also will order a copy of Totally Together: An Organizational Journal for the Busy Household, for the lucky winner which was supposed to be released the end of March, but now due to a paper snafu will come out in April, but still with plenty of time for spring-cleaning. Amazon will honor all pre-orders and all that good stuff.

And yes, I am working on the website for this book but it's taking way longer than I thought it would. Due to life. Life really just kind of bosses you around sometimes.

The crockpot book is due March 1, so I'll have a lot more time on my hands very soon, and will keep you posted.

Okay. As a recap, One Lucky Person will be getting an incredibly awesome swag bag from Nintendo, a Nintendo Personal Trainer Cooking Game, the 30 Day Shred, and a copy of Totally Together: An Organizational Guide for the Busy Household.

The winner will be picked through the random number thingy mabob on Wednesday, February 11 at 10am Pacific.

Please leave a comment on this post with your email address (you can write it in DOT COM code). I'll delete all the comments with email addresses once the contest is over.

UPDATED 2/9/09: You all are crazy. In a good way. Mir just emailed a head's up that she's hosting a give-away on Want Not for a new Slow Cooker Mate (I've never heard of this! It looks really cool), which goes until the 11th, too.

OKAY.
10am, 02/11/09. The contest is now over. Thank you to all 2335 people who entered. The winner will be announced as soon as I can get my act together.

CrockPot Cranberry Pork Roast

I was lucky enough to receive a few different cranberry pork recipes and decided to make Mamame's the other night. She wrote it in the comments on the original pork post. I did change a few things around because I used fresh cranberries instead of canned, but otherwise tried my hardest to not stray too far.

I packed this up for some friends, and heard back today that they liked it. The kids found the cranberries to be a bit tart, so I added some additional sugar to the recipe ingredients.

The Ingredients.
serves 4-6

1 (2.5-3 lb) pork loin roast or rib roast
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon dried mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 (16-ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce
or: 1 cup fresh cranberries, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup brown (I did add 1/4 cup
brown sugar half-way through cooking after tasting the sauce, but 1/2 cup would be
better. I learned from making my own cranberry sauce that you really do need a lot
of sugar to balance out the cranberries.
1/3 cup golden raisins (I only had regular)
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/3 cup cranberry juice
1/2 small lemon, thinly sliced (I put in a whole one, but Mamame is right, 1/2 is better. A whole one is too bitter.)

The Directions.
Use a 4 quart crockpot. In a plastic zipper bag, put dry spices and cornstarch and add meat. Shake to coat. Put contents into your slow cooker. Add cranberry sauce, or your fresh cranberries and sugar. Put in raisins and garlic. Pour in cranberry juice, and top with lemon slices. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or high for about 4. The longer you cook the meat, the more tender it will be.

Serve with rice or pasta.

The Verdict.

Mamame writes, "this is hands down our family's favorite crockpot recipe." My friend who tried it liked it a lot, and her husband said the meat was perfectly cooked and juicy. Her 9-year-old, Austin, reported "I didn't really like the cranberries so much, but I thought they really brought out the flavor of the pork."

oh my. He's adorable.

Apple Cinnamon Pork Roast

I've gotten a few email asking if this is going to be "The Year of Pork."

No, but the next week or two will be pretty heavy with pork recipes. I'd like to have about 10 really good ones to include in the forthcoming cookbook, and I need to test them out. If you don't eat pork (I don't), you can fool around with using chicken or beef instead.

Stacy emailed me this recipe a few weeks ago; she had gotten it from a friend of hers. She reported back last week that she and her family really enjoyed it and urged me to give it a try. So I did.

It calls for a bag of coleslaw mix. I'm not a huge fan of coleslaw because for some reason in my weird twisted mind it sounds like 'cold sore.' I know that's really gross. I'm sorry.

anyhow, I used Stacy (and her friend's) recipe last night, and packed the food up for my sister-in-law's amazing family.

The Ingredients.

2-3 pound pork-loin roast
1 onion, sliced in wedges
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup apple cider or juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 granny smith apples, chopped (to add later)
1 (16-ounce) bag coleslaw mix (to add later)
* 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (to add later--this isn't in the original recipe, but I think it should be. See notes below marked with an *.)

The Directions.

Use a 5 quart crockpot. Put onion wedges into the bottom of your crockpot, and put the meat on top. Sprinkle dry spices on all sides of the meat. Add apple and lemon juice. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4-6. The longer you cook it, the more shredded and juicy the meat will become. 20-30 minutes before serving, remove meat from crockpot and let sit on a cutting board. Put chopped apples (no need to peel) and the whole bag of coleslaw into your crockpot. *I would add apple cider vinegar now, too. Stir. Either slice or shred the pork, and add back to the crockpot.
Salt and pepper to taste (it definitely needs more salt.)

Stacy wrote in her last email that her husband "took some of the juice (from the crockpot) and combined it with butter, brown sugar, and chopped pecans. He boiled it down in a sauce pan and we added it to each serving." I imagine this would taste heavenly.

The Verdict.

I did sneak a taste of this, and so did Adam. Adam liked it more than I did; I thought the texture was funky, but I also have coleslaw issues, which I probably need to discuss with Dr. Phil.

This is the feedback I got from my tester-family (written by mom, Shari): Having tried quite a few of your recipes, this one is not a home run. But, the pork was tender and had a very delicate and subtle apple flavor, and was not fatty or greasy at all. The apples and cabbage had a bit of pleasant crunch to them, just the way we like them. Joe and I liked the very tender meat with the slightly crunchy cabbage and apples, and we each ate a healthy portion, and I'll look forward to eating it again for lunch tomorrow. Chris usually prefers strongly seasoned food. So, he couldn't get past what we liked about the dish - he didn't care for the texture, and wasn't too sure that the combination of flavors "go together".

From the tastes I took, I sort of agree with Chris. I think it needs more spices, and I'd recommend at least doubling the salt and pepper. I think the crunch from the cabbage and the apples is a neat touch, and a great way to stretch a meal, but I think your (my) tongue wants * that bite of vinegar that usually comes with cabbage salad.

I also think that Stacy's hubby's idea/technique of browning some butter and brown sugar on the stovetop to pour over the top is *genius*---you can't ever go wrong with that combo!

5-Spice pork chops

Asian Peanut Butter Pork CrockPot Recipe

Happy February! I am slowly emerging from my piles of paper, and I can see the light at the end of the recipe-editing tunnel. Thank you for hanging in there. Something weird happens when you are only reading your own writing for weeks on end---your self-esteem goes on a crazy roller coaster ride. One minute you're high-fiving yourself, and in the next you think you completely suck. Over and over and over again. It's rather exhausting.

But! This peanut butter pork tenderloin doesn't suck. So I've been told. It came from an anonymous commenter back in the original pork post. Anon shares that she makes it every month for an ongoing potluck dinner and if she doesn't make it her friends get mad---it's that good.

The Ingredients
serves 4

1.5-2lbs pork tenderloin
1 onion, sliced in rings
1/4 cup soy sauce (I used La Choy; it's gluten free)
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons water
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 cup creamy natural peanut butter
2 tablespoons chopped peanuts (garnish; optional)
1 lime, cut in wedges (garnish; optional)


The Directions.

Use a 4-6 quart crockpot. Put onion slices into the bottom of your crockpot. Put the pork on top. Add brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, water, garlic, and peanut butter. No need to stir--the peanut butter needs to melt before you can do so. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for 4-6. The pork will be more tender the longer you cook it. 1 hour before serving, flip the meat over in the crockpot to allow the other side to soak up the peanutbuttery goodness. Garnish with chopped peanuts, and serve with lime wedges. The lime juice mixed with the peanut butter is delicious.

The Verdict.

I snuck a taste. sshhh. Don't tell my mom. It was good; quite tender. I made some more of the sauce to spoon over some already-cooked chicken I had in the fridge---it was fantastic. I packed the meat up for my friend Stephanie and family. When I asked what she thought, she told me that she had a problem. Her husband, Bill, was home from work and ate it all. She and the kids didn't get to try any of it. I'm thinking that means he liked it.
Thank you anon, for sharing your dish with us!
