Jerk Pork Loin or Roast

http://www.diabeticconnect.com/diabetic-recipes/general/2354-caribbean-jerk-pork-roast

Do NOT use nectresse next time in seasoning blend. Also, if doing pork loin chops, use 25% or less of this recipe. I'm not so keen on the sweet spices in it, mayb eleave those and the sweetener out completely. I made this and it was overwhelming and weird, we scrapped off the seasoning as best we could. I smelled good while baking though, and a variant is a great idea for thick cut pork loin or a roast.

Turbo Soup

This soup is so delicious. It's got a long scary name but the flavor is phenomenal. Definitely a keeper. The broth is amazing, Ila had 3 bowls of it. I swapped radishes for the celeriac, only because celeriac was too expensive. I'll have to make this again when I get celeriac from my CSA.

Tilapia in coconut milk

I made this recipe up. It's the best preparation of tilapia I've had in a while.

Put 1 cup coconut milk into 9x13 dish. Set 4-6 tilapia fillets into the milk (1 - 1.5 lb), getting it onto both sides of the fish.
On top of the fish, sprinkle dried chopped onion, tarragon, salt, and pepper. Then I sprayed some olive oil pam on top of the fish to moisten the herbs. I'm not sure if that step was necessary.

Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Or something. I didn't set the timer. I used 6 tilapia and they were all touching.

Quick Pizza Crust

http://allrecipes.com/recipe/20171/quick-and-easy-pizza-crust/

This was great. I used 1 cup = 120 gram weight using all purpose flour. I had extra time so I mixed the proofed yeast liquid with the flour and let sit for 10 minutes before mixing in the salt and oil. Then I covered and let that sit for 20 or 30 minutes. Then I floured a small baking sheet and stretched the dough onto the sheet. It turned out great, but next time would do 1.5 the recipe to be adequate for our family.

Definitely do this one again. It is flexible for how much time you have. Can easily be converted to sourdough also.
