“The holidays are all about keeping things easy, elegant, and delicious. With just a few simple steps, you’ll have a wonderful meal ready to enjoy!” -JH

Cider-Marinated Pork Tenderloin, Herb-Roasted Carrots, & Mashed Potatoes:

Preheat your oven to 325°F. Place the pork tenderloin in a baking dish, cover with foil, and place it in the oven. Add the tin of mashed potatoes and the herb-roasted carrots alongside it. Reheat everything for about 20-25 minutes, stirring the potatoes halfway through. Alternatively, sear the pork tenderloin in a hot pan on all sides for 2-3 minutes per side. Tent with foil and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. For extra creaminess, you can add a pat of butter to the potatoes just before serving. The pork should be warm but still slightly pink in the centre, the potatoes creamy, and the carrots perfectly tender when ready.

Spiced Apple Sauce:

The apple sauce is best served cold. Simply spoon it into a serving dish and place it on the table—it’s the perfect complement to the tenderloin.

Green Peppercorn Gravy:

Pour the gravy into a small saucepan and warm it over low heat, stirring occasionally until it’s hot. If it thickens too much, add a splash of water, milk or stock to reach the perfect consistency.

Braised Red Cabbage:

The cabbage can be reheated in a saucepan over low to medium heat. Stir occasionally until it’s warmed through, about 10 minutes. It’ll add such a lovely festive colour to your plate!

Dinner Rolls:

To warm the rolls, wrap them in foil and bake for the last 5 minutes while reheating everything else. They’ll come out soft and perfect for sopping up that gravy.

Pecan Pie with Ganache:

This dessert is ready to enjoy as is! For a little extra indulgence, add a dollop of whipped cream, and you’re set.

How easy is that? Wishing you a holiday filled with warmth, laughter, and the joy of gathering around a beautiful meal!

Love always, Jesse & Triet
