Red Wine and Fennel Crusted Pork Loin on a Vertical Rotisserie

Image
What if you could rub red wine right onto a pork roast? Merlot wine flour, made from dried grape skins and seeds, gives this pork loin all the flavor of red wine without the liquid. Ground together with paprika, white pepper, chili, and fennel seed, it turns into a dark, crackly crust that holds tight while the roast spins. In this video you will learn: • What wine flour is and how to use it • Why grinding the whole rub matters • Why scoring and a one-hour rest keep the crust on the spit Full recipe: https://the-good-plate.com/red-wine-and-fennel-crusted-pork-loin/ Forever Forward, Forever Flavorful, YUM YUM! #PorkLoin #WineFlour #VerticalRotisserie #PorkRoast #TheGoodPlate

Dishes to Die For: A Halloween Dinner and Two Desserts

Image
Start with Grave Digger Pie, a shepherd's pie dressed for Halloween; savory beef and vegetables simmer in gravy under a mashed potato graveyard. Next, bake the Pumpkin Fortress Cake. You cannot frost a fortress, so the cream cheese bakes right inside, and an espresso glaze gives it a coffee house finish. Finally, make Day of the Dead Brownies. Chile and cinnamon borrow from Aztec chocolate traditions, and marzipan skulls modeled on the Crystal Skull at the British Museum crown each one.

Plan Once, Shop Smarter: My Monthly Meal Planning Workbook

Image
If you are tired of going to the store and coming home with things you did not need, or of finding science experiments in the back of the refrigerator, monthly meal planning might be the fix. I wrote the Monthly Meal Planning Workbook around four simple steps you repeat every month: take inventory of what you have, plan a month of dinners around it, do one big shop for shelf-stable and freezable foods, and keep a short perishables list for weekly pickups. It works on a fixed income, a part-time income, a lot of money, or very little, because your rent, insurance, and car payment all come due monthly no matter how your paycheck lands. When I made the switch, I saved about $50 a month almost immediately. Full disclosure: I am the author. The paperback is currently 30% off at the IngramSpark shop: https://shop.ingramspark.com/b/084?params=TFKTOMzVSy4htl0rXmji8lUNzMdPovHYOkDJ7QULuuv Read the full review, including my weekly dinner rhythm and what the book and course cost: https://the-good-...
