Quick Crock-Pot Pork Loin with Sherry and Onions

This is a great set-it and forget-it recipe for the work week! I came up with it because I saw I had a bottle of Cooking Sherry in my pantry and needed to use it up!! This recipe is great served over noodles or rice and if you have any left-overs, simply add bottled BBQ sauce to pork the next day and serve on hamburger buns for a delicious pulled pork sandwich!!

1- 2 lb. pork loin
1 yellow onion, diced
2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 cup cooking sherry
1 tbsp. butter or margarine
salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp. Arrowroot (to thicken)

Heat a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter, and sweat onion and garlic until onion starts to soften, about 5 mins. While onions are cooking, salt and pepper pork loin and place in crock pot (fat side down). Place onion and garlic mixture on top of loin and add sherry to pot. Cover and cook on high 7 hours, basting with crock pot juices once or twice (if possible- if not, just baste once when you get home).  Spoon out 1/4 cup hot liquid from crock pot, place in small bowl, and whisk hot liquid together with arrowroot. Add the "slurry" (you just learned a new word!) back to crock pot and cook additional 10 mins to thicken sauce. Shred pork loin in crock pot (it should just fall apart) and serve over cauliflower rice or zoodles. Enjoy!

Vanilla-Almond Creme Brulee

Easier Than You Think Creme Brulee Recipes I have worked on several recipes and Del was nice enough to taste with me. ;-) She finally told me the other night that "I had perfected this", so now I feel like I can share! Extreme creamy custard on the bottom, and a hard, crunchy top layer of "burnt" sugar. "Creme Brulee" literally translates to "burnt creme".  The only "must" for this recipe is the custard cups- make sure you use heat proof cups designed for baking souffles or brulees and this recipe will be a snap!!

Olive oil cake with chocolate ganache

The olive oil in this cake makes it super moist, which is hard to achieve when working with coconut flour. Infused olive oils work wonderful in this cake; I have a blood orange infused olive oil that I will substitute into the recipe sometimes. The chocolate ganache is quick and easy, but tastes sublime! Enjoy! 1 cup olive oil 3/4 cup Coconut flour 3/4 cup erythritol 6 large eggs 2 tsp Baking powder 1 1/4 tsp Baking Soda 2 tsp vanilla extract 1/4 tsp Pink Salt INSTRUCTIONS Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside. Beat eggs to double the  original volume in another bowl. Add olive oil, and vanilla extract to eggs and combine. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet as you combine. Pour into a greased pan (I used a 9 inch springform pan). Bake at 350 for 30 minutes (until edges will have browned and toothpick comes out clean). Allow to cool completely, then cover in chocolate ganache.  Ganache: 1/2 cup heavy whipping cre...
