This was my mom’s birthday dinner. And before you think, “Oh, that’s so nice you cooked for you mom,” I should tell you her birthday was three months ago in August. But we still tried to make it special. Everything I made was from Cooking Light and all very good, except the spinach was a little lame in my opinion. It was good, but not great. This is probably my favorite pork tenderloin recipe I’ve tried so far too. So good, and soooo easy.

This has two cups of cider, two apples, and two sticks of butter in it, making it a very moist and delicious bread. The crunchy cinnamon and sugar topping made it extra special.
This recipe made two loaves of bread. It looked gorgeous coming out of the oven, but after a few minutes, the round puffy top got a little flat. But that didn’t change the flavor or the texture. I baked this for 53 minutes.
RECIPES:
I’ve been doing more pumpkin recipes lately, but wanted to switch over to some apple ones. I liked these because they weren’t too sweet and a little healthier than some of the other recipes. But they were a little heavy on the cloves. I would cut the clove amount in half for next time. And I would definitely make these again.
RECIPES:
Tomatoes + apples + soup = tomapple soup. It’s fall and that means all is food is so much better with apple or pumpkins added. It doesn’t matter what it is. I even put pumpkins in meatloaf. Anyway, the soup is easy, and really good. I’m not a huge fan of tomato soup, but I really liked this one! Pair it with a nice grilled cheese sandwich with bacon and grilled onions and it’s a winner of a meal.
I made a few changes to the sandwich recipe though. Instead of sharp cheddar I used shredded mozzarella. And instead of red onion, I used regular white onions. We always use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon too. Nothing against bacon bacon, we just don’t buy it often. And for the bread, I used fresh Japanese bakery bread which we love. But I’ve used regular wheat before. But I think the lighter, fluffier, and thicker the bread, the better the sandwich will be.
