Outstanding Window /Glass Cleaner

                                                                                                             




Job 2:10 But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. Shall we receive good from God, and shall we not receive evil?"In all this Job did not sin with his lips. 


This is so good!! Use on windows that are cool to the touch. The clean and shine are awesome! Just remember to shake before each use. The cost is amazing too, around $.50 a bottle!


1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup rubbing alcohol
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
2 cups warm water
Empty spray bottle

1Thess.2:4 
but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please man, but to please God who tests our hearts.



1 lb ground turkey, browned
1 leek sliced and creamed with1/4 c heavy cream
1/2 c Parmesan cheese
1 cream of mushroom soup
1/2 c Puttanesca sauce (I used DelGrosso Uncle Jim's late night) 
salt and pepper to taste
1t minced garlic
1 beaten egg
2 fresh pizza dough balls from Publix

Set dough balls on counter for 1 hour so they can rise. Leave them in the bag.
Brown meat. Add the soup. Simmer until thickened. Remove from skillet. 
Slice white part of leek very thin and saute in a drizzle of olive oil. Keep stirring so they will separate into strings.
Add garlic after the leeks are tender. Add cream and cook until thickened. 
Add the meat back in with the leek mixture. Add cheese and sauce.  
Mash dough with fingers and shape into 8x14 rectangle. 
Fill leaving 1 inch all the way around so you can seal it. 
Brush the 1 inch border with egg, fold one side over the other, seam on the side (close to the bottom) and pinch the border together.
Pinch a couple of small holes in the top for steam to escape.
Brush top with rest of egg.
Bake 400 for 30 minutes. 
Let rest for 10 minutes before cutting in 2 inch slices. Makes 2 Stromboli.

Pork Tenderloin stuffed with Bacon, Feta, Sage, Apple and Creamed Leek Filling

                                                                                                           








Is.55:6-7 
6 "Seek the LORD while he may be found; call upon him while he is near
7 let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon


I made these tenderloins for lunch today and they were great!!! My grand-daughter cleaned her plate!!

2 small Pork Tenderloins Butterflied and pounded thin
1/2 Can Apple Pie filling (finely chop apples)
Thin slices of ham to cover the loins
Crisp fried bacon
Fresh sage (6-8 leaves)
1/4 cup 1/2 and 1/2 or heavy cream
1 Leek sauté in a little olive oil and butter
1/2 cup crumbled Feta
Kitchen string for tying loins (tie 6-8 times along the length so loin will hold shape)

Liquid for roasting:
1c apple juice
1c red wine

Prepare tenderloins. Use small loins (Walmart), I tried larger ones (bought at Costco) and they were too hard to work with.
Salt and pepper loins.
Fry bacon until crisp and rough chop.
Sauté thin-sliced leeks, when soft add cream.
Chop fresh sage, mix in with the creamed leeks.
Add half of the finely crumbled feta to each loin.

Layers:
Cover the loins with thin slices of ham.
Spread 1/4 of the apple pie filling onto each loin.
Add 4 pieces of crumbled bacon to each loin.
Add half of the creamed leek mixture.

Bake:
350 Degrees for 35-40 minutes (internal temp of 150-160)
Sear loins in olive oil.
Use a pan that a rack will fit and put roasting liquid in bottom. I used the small size aluminum disposable pan from Costco and a small cookie rack. Do not cover rack. The roasting liquid will steam the loins giving a wonderful flavor and keeping it moist. Spray rack with cooking spray.  Place tied loins on rack. Bake. Let loins rest 10 minutes before slicing.

Spinach and Fig Preserve Stuffed Pork Tenderloin

                                                                                                                             




Ps.7:11-12

11 God is a righteous judge, and a God who feels indignation every day. 
12 If a man does not repent, God will whet his sword; he has bent and readied his bow


1 Package of pork tenderloins (usually contains 2 tenderloins)
1 box of Creamed Spinach (Green Giant box) cooked by box directions
1 Jar Fig preserves
1 Package of Prosciutto
1/4 t Coarse sea salt (on each tenderloin)
Few turns of black pepper (on each tenderloin)
1/2 t minced garlic (split the amount for the 2 tenderloins)
1 cup Red Wine
1/2 c water
Olive oil for searing
Kitchen string for tying tenderloins

Begin by butterflying tenderloins, being careful not to cut through the tenderloins. Pound them to a 1/4 inch thickness, then salt and pepper. After the spinach has cooled, drain in paper towels to remove some of the liquid.  Layer the prosciutto on the tenderloins. With a spoon, spread each tenderloin with 1/2 of spinach mixture.  Sprinkle with the garlic. The next layer will be the fig preserves which you can spread with a spoon over the spinach. Tie the loins in 5 or 6 places so it will hold its shape. In a skillet with olive oil, sear loins on all sides. For roasting, I used a foil pan that I could fit a rack onto so the loins would be a few inches from the pans bottom. Put wine and water in bottom of roasting pan, place loins on rack. I roasted mine in the toaster oven, with the confection on, on 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Loin should be 145-150 degrees when checked with an instant read thermometer. Let loins rest for 10 to 15 minutes before cutting into 1 inch slices. YUM!!! The wine and water mixture keeps the loins from being dry!!
