What I made last weekend...

(post, a aaa)
Before I get on with what I made this weekend, I need to address what I made LAST weekend.  Saturday, we had what I would typically make on a Friday:  Whole wheat spaghetti with broccoli and a Myzithra cheese sauce similar to what I grew up eating at the Old Spaghetti Factory.  

Sunday, I tried a couple of new dishes.  The first one was a Pecan Pumpkin Crunch that I saw on Ask Aida.  I have to say that this dessert was very good, very simple and definitely on the "Make Again" list.  Basically, you take the basic pumpkin pie filing recipe, pour it in a baking dish and top it with a pecan streusel.  All of the pumpkin pie goodness without the stress of making a crust.  This dessert comes together really quickly so you are left with time to do something else.  When I make it again, I will use a wider dish and swap some of the pecan for oatmeal to add a little different texture.

The second dish I tried on Sunday was a Bacon-wrapped pork loin with a mustard rub.  This recipe was courtesy of Giada's pre-thanksgiving show.  This was delicious, but I have decided that I prefer pork tenderloin to pork loin.  So, the next time I make this one, I will just exchange the pork loin for tenderloin.
