Kitchen Confessions: Pork Tenderloin Stroganoff

Today's kitchen confession is really brought to you by Mr. Cute. I just sat back, ate, and enjoyed. 

Of the two of us, Mr. Cute is way more of a food person. When it comes to dinner, he likes decadent elaborate meals, and I am happy with chicken nuggets and a few raw carrots (he's totally gagging and eye rolling just reading that). Unfortunately for him, I'm usually in charge of the dinner making department here at Casa de Cute. While I've made a few attempts at venturing out (awesome attempts if I do say so myself), I've convinced the kids that crockpot chicken tacos four nights out of the week is the best thing ever, and Mr. Cute's dreams of homemade five star dinners have been put on permanent hold.

Some days I feel bad about it. I really do. Especially as he stares longingly over my shoulder at those Pinterest recipes I am scrolling over in order to make sure I pin the most amazing Valentine's Day crafts ever. Maybe one day, when we are retired, I will sign up for a few cooking classes and really try. 

Or maybe I will sit on the beach with a fruity cocktail and a big fat novel in my lap. 

You just never know what the golden years might bring. 

When the new year rolled around we hosted my family for an evening of dinner and football. Mr. Cute decided we were to venture outside of all things slow cooked, and made a delicious Pork Tenderloin. Even though there were eight of us, he made so much we had a ton of leftovers. So much so that we were able to make two more meals out of them - with hosting an additional four other people each time. At least we were prepared!

My favorite of the two meals was this Pork Tenderloin Stroganoff.

It was SO good! And after asking Mr. Cute about it, I realized it was actually kind of easy to make (especially if you have Pork Tenderloin already made). It was a hit amongst even our pickiest of eaters, so I know Mr. Cute we will put this into our dinner rotation again soon.

10 Easy Recipes to Make with Leftover Ham

Easter was such a fun day and hosting was even more fun. Even though it rained this year and our egg hunt was largely inside, it was still a blast. One of my favorite things about hosting is that usually we make waaaaay too much food, and often have a refrigerator full of leftovers to munch on over the course of the next few days. Any excuse this mama can get out of not cooking she will take! 

This year we had a variety of main courses - turkey, ham, and even London Broil (more on this later because it was absolutely scrumptious!) - and thus, ended up with way more leftovers than we can possibly ever eat. 

I decided to get a little creative and see what we could do with all those leftovers. Luckily, I became a little pinspired and found a ton of absolutely tasty recipes to choose from. 

Sharing my inspiration HERE for ten easy recipes to make with left over ham. Several are even freezable to save for later and one even involves a crockpot. Now that is winning. :)
