A lean, healthy cut of meat, pork tenderloin is mild, lending itself well to a wide range of flavors, taste and cooking methods. Easy pork tenderloin recipes abound, from classic preparations like this Instant Pot Pork Tenderloin and gravy, to elevated versions like Stuffed Pork Tenderloin, to even Asian preparations like Pork Fried Rice and the Black Pepper Pork Stir Fry in my cookbook. I mean, I rely on solid Baked Chicken Breast as much as the next person, but it’s nice to switch it up, especially if you are hosting....

While everyone else is already knee deep into pumpkin-land, I’m having a hard time letting go of summer. I’m still trying to enjoy every bit of those beautiful warm nights, lit up by fireflies and serenaded by a symphony of cicadas.

There is a time and place for a pumpkin spiced latte and, for me, that is September 1st!...

Welcome to Olivia’s Cuisine. This is not my first food blog but this is the first time I decide to do it for real. If you don’t know me, my name is Olivia and I live in New York City. In January of this year (2014) I got married to the love of my life! (Dramatic pause for the romantic sighs…) :-) Even though I’ve had a passion for cooking ever since I was little (more on that to come), getting married made me more inspired to cook and try new recipes....

I don’t know why it took me this long to share a recipe for Brazilian Pastel here on the blog! I’m crazy about them and can eat the whole batch by myself.

You will find it at the feira (our farmer’s market), the pastelaria (shops that sell only pastel), beach kiosks and at bars....

Although it’s fun to bust out the fancy recipes every now and then, honestly, when I’m hosting friends for dinner, I’d rather choose something that: Makes everyone feel comfortable and happy—nothing fussy or intimidating.Satisfies a variety of tastes and appetites—aka a crowd-pleaser that makes everyone feel glad that they wore pants with a little bit of stretch. Provide an entire meal in a single pan—no need to stress over timing multiple side dishes to be ready at the same time....

The problem is, they only keep for about a week in the fridge. If you can’t consume all of them within 7 days, and you don’t want them to go to waste, you need a solution. While some mushrooms work great for drying or pickling, others, such as portobellos, creminis, and button mushrooms do not. So what do you do with these types of fungi? Simple: freeze them and they’ll keep well for many months....

What you are looking at is my second batch of chicken bacon ranch fries. I inhaled the first one standing at my stove with such gusto, I was forced to retire to the living room, assume a horizontal position, and watch an episode of Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics to recover. Before this moment of complete humility, the concept of myself eating only fries for an entire meal would have been foreign to me....

Marvelously moist with an intense chocolate flavor that balances the banana-ness just right, this recipe celebrates the divine combo of chocolate + banana in a fashion so sublime, our loaf hardly lasted two days.

Most vegan nice cream recipes are made with bananas, which don’t work with my low carb way of eating. I’ve been planning to try nice cream without bananas for a long time now.

Southern Fried Pork Chops are somewhere at the top of my most favorite pork chop recipes.
