Happy Halloween :-)

I hope everyone had a great and safe Halloween :-) I myself spent it with dearest friends and there little one. We went trick or treating with the whole family and than handed out some candy for kids ;-) Unfortunalty, Jt couldn't join us, because he had to work overtime on friday. The rest of the night I spent with my hubby, some wine and pizza :-)

I wanted to share with you guys the cupcakes I made the day before Halloween. I was not feeling that well which is why I just got a cupcake mix. But i got the good ones :D my hubby loves this kind, because they have a chocolate filling in it. 

For the decoration I went to Micheals and got some gummy eyeballs, monsters and pumpkins :-) at the store I got Icing from Betty Crocker in typical Halloween colors - blood red and green!

Halloween Cupcakes

I just love to bake and cook for family, friends and my co-workers. I made a total of 24 cupcakes. Four stayed home for my hubby, four for my friends as thank you for taking me trick or treating and the rest of them were for my co-workers as Halloween treat :-) and since they were all gone I guess they were a hit ;-)

[Recipe] Pork Tenderloin with Apples

We went grocery shoppping for the first time at Costco and got so many things incl. pork tenderloin to an awesome price. I wanted to treat my hubby to something good and also I was looking for a distraction ;-) One of my papers is due Sunday night and yay so I decided to be for hours on pinterest :-D anyway I wanted to try something totally new for me/us and I found a recipe for fall-ish inspired pork tenderloin recipe. I made pork tenderloin with apples, honey, cinnamon and onions in our slow cooker :-) as sides I served some beans with salted potatoes. The meal was a big hit :-)

Ingredients

(for 4 servings)

3 lbs pork tenderloin

1 apple, sweet, sliced
2 onions, yellow, sliced
3 tbsp honey
Cinnamon, as needed
Mr. Dash, as needed
Pepper, Salt, Bay leaves
Brown Gravy mix

Slice slits into porkloin horizontally, about 3/4 through meat. Fill each slit with one or two apple slice and drizzle honey over top (in between the slits as well). 

 

Transfer the pork into slow cooker. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Layer the meat with onions and a few bay leaves. 

Cook on high (depends on each slow cooker) for 4-5 hours. One hour before serving take out pork. Add brown gravy mix to the broth, stir well, let cook for a few minutes or until thickened. Add pork again and let cook in gravy for the remaining of the time.

 

Serve with sides as wanted, we choose salted potatoes and beans.

ENJOY :-)
