Tonight's Menu: Caprice Salad, My famous Lasagna, and some kind of dessert.

Albert really wants to have a dinner party, so I figured that my lasagna would be a slam dunk.  (Go Celtics!)  I plan on dressing that up with spinach and sausage.  In addition to that, I will be serving caprice salad, since that's fun, easy and tasty, and I hope to be making some sort of dessert, I'm just not sure what.

Here's what I can think of in 5 seconds:

Strawberry Shortcake
Lemon Bars
some sort of pie

and that's about it.

I've been scouring allrecipes.com and foodnetwork.com to maybe find something new.  Any suggestions would be FANTASTIC!  


Thanks,

Italian style Pork Loin

It was amazing!!! At first, I had no idea what I was going to do.  Since I'm going home for the holidays, soon, I haven't gone grocery shopping in a while and my food inventory at home is really thin.  I had pasta sauce, pork loin and broccoli to play with, so my creation for tonight was to be Italian.  Now, usually I make my own pasta sauce, but since I decided to use what was on hand, I did it this way:

INGREDIENTS!
2 loins
1 medium sized jar of pasta sauce
fresh rosemary
dried thyme
fresh oregano
salt & peppr
olive oil

1.  Butterfly the loins.  Keep them looking like a boat, so the sides are up and not flat.
2.  Rub them with salt, pepper, olive oil and oregano
3.  Liberally rub oregano, thyme and rosemary on the inside, and let it sit for an hour.
4.  Pan sear the loins for 2 minutes on each side
5.  In a baking dish, pour about 2 tbsp of oil, then place the loins.
6.  Pour all the pasta sauce all over and around the pork.
7.  Bake at 425degrees for about 40-45 minutes.
8.  Let it stand for about 15 minutes after you take the pork out of the oven.
9.  ENJOY!
