Recipe Revision Round 2

Sorry to say I took no photos. I tend to eat things before I remember to take pictures. Its a personal flaw- lets just say I'm working on it, mmk?

At any rate- I have recipes for you!
To start, I got inspired by a recipe on The Hungry Mouse where she put whiskey, cranberries, and butter all over ribs. I mean. Come on. I had to recreate it.
But then the butcher had no ribs. Its summer, cranberries are no where to be found. And cranberry preserves are invisible. So, I improvised.
In the preserves section I found apple butter, which- apples and pork are fab together even if I'm not much of a pork person myself. And I figured whiskey couldn't hurt in this instance.
Without further ado,  here is my recipe for Apple Butter Whiskey Pork Loin.

Recipe Revision

When I am looking for a dinner idea, I often stumble upon fabulous recipes, with fabulous ingredients that I hardly ever have use for and therefore never have on hand. With that in mind, almost every recipe I see, requires a little change up to fit my pantry and limit my grocery list.(Warning, this is going to be a long post!)I've also recently fallen in love (Read: become obsessed with...) a blogger by the pseudonym of The Hungry Mouse. Her name is Jessie Cross and she writes all about food, with helpful step by step photos, her love of meat, and her sidekicks aka dogs. She is extremely knowledgeable about all things edible, leading her to be published in many magazines as well as in her very own cookbook, Slushed! 
My favorite feature on her blog is a protein drop down menu, pick your choice and all recipes are categorized accordingly. Extremely helpful when you only have a pork loin on hand.
Without further ado, here are my recent remakes of her recipes!

Hello, risotto.
