This was by far the MOST delish meal I have ever made. Max even ate it up asking for seconds....and he ate all of it, even the cranberries and onion!
Cranberry Orange Pork Loin
Ingredients
2 T. olive oil
3 lbs of pork loin, tied
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. ground black pepper
1 large sweet onion, coarsely chopped
2 cans whole berry cranberry sauce
Grated zest of 2 oranges
Juice of 2 oranges, about 1 cup
2 t. dried thyme leaves
1/2 cup beef broth
1. Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Sprinkle roast with salt and pepper and add to the pan.
2. Cook pork for 2 minutes per side; transfer to slow cooker. Add onion, cranberry sauce, orange zest, orange juice, thyme, and broth; stir.
3. Cover; cook pork on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.
4. Remove cover; transfer pork to cutting board and cover. Let rest for 15 minutes. Skim off fat from cooking liquid to make a sauce; slice pork and serve with sauce.
For our side dish I made roasted Parmesan mashed potatoes .....after you have boiled and mashed the potatoes add 2-4 T of butter, about 1/2 cup milk, and about a 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan....season with salt and pepper.

Mmmmmm that sounds awesome!! I'm going to hijack it and make it! You seem to be quite a good cook! You are inspiring me to try some new things. Keep posting your recipes.
How far in advance do you plan your meals? A week? A month? A few hours? We never know what we are having from day to day until we actually make it. Not the best idea.
