We've had a pork tenderloin in the freezer for a while now and keep forgetting to get it in the crockpot. Matt stumbled upon a recipe from Natasha's Kitchen and we adapted it to be our own. This is a way to make pork tenderloin that will melt in your mouth and is loaded with herby flavours.

I did not do a photo tutorial for this recipe because Joe Pastry has a perfect one on his site...see link at the bottom of this page. And because my hands were far to greasy from all the butter to pick up a camera. The pictures are of my student's work, and I'm super impress with their products, we're going to work on the egg wash but otherwise the croissants were light and fluffy, just as they're supposed to be!

I'm always on the lookout for a good new recipe and can't help but get on the spaghetti squash band wagon. Oh my they're tasty! This recipe has just the right amount of heat without being spicy. And it will fill your belly on a cold winter night.
Approximately 8 servings

I've been doing a lot of curriculum planning for my three different grade levels of foods classes. The grade 11s and 12s are currently working on a yeast module and I wanted something more than buns and sandwich bread for them. I came across this recipe on Smitten Kitchen (one of my favorite food bloggers) and I knew I needed to try it before I let my students tackle it. The recipe is a two dayer outside of the classroom, but will be a three dayer for my students, so that will work out well for my their class. The loaf didn't rise as much as I was hoping but that is due to the fact that I used traditional yeast (which I always have in my fridge) and not quick rise yeast. Nevertheless, the loaf is beautiful and my house smells AMAZING!

It was a cold snowy weekend and I had a hankering for warm creamy soup. The soup might scare off some people thinking it will be too sweet, but its actually a great balance between sweet and savory. And I know the granola in soup seems weird but it was AMAZING, I actually added more to my bowl than just a garnish!
