Rosemary Pork Loin

We are learning to cook for a family member that needs reduced salt.
Tonight we rubbed a pork loin with Rosemary, basil, and a tsp of peanut oil.
I rested it in my crock pot atop 3 green pepper halves, added 1/4 cup of homemade vegetable stock. Let it go on low for about 6-7 hours to perfection.
I pulled it and cooled slightly before slicing. I removed some drippings and added some whole wheat flour to make a simple gravy.
This will be one of our new favorites.

Smoked Oyster Appetizer

For the game, I made some killer appetizers.
We piled Guacamole on a slice of artisan bread and topped each piece with a smoked oyster.
I made the Guac simple with avocados, garlic, peppers, onion, a bit of salsa, lemon juice and salt/ pepper.

Grilled Mahi Mahi with Butternut Squash

The nice weather invited us to fire up the Weber and enjoy some awesome grilled Mahi Mahi, grilled butternut squash brushed with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and some fresh steamed broccoli.
Grilling fish is easy and tastes so good. Mahi for instance only takes 4 minutes per side at 3/4 inch thick, grilled just like a steak.
