Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Browned Goat's Milk Butter and Mizithra Cheese Broccolini...

OK... We bought a huge tray of boneless pork chops from Costco the other day. Combined with the fact that we're a household of two, we're also house/dog sitting at Kelli's parent's house for the week. I don't know how we'll consume all the perishables in our refrigerator!!! Anyway, to conform with my special diet, I prepared this dinner. The pork is seasoned with the basics, some salt, pepper, garlic, rosemary & olive oil. Nothing fancy just because it's not necessary. Kelli wanted to eat the Mizithra Cheese we bought from the market last week. We bought some broccolini from Whole Foods and while we were there I was so happy to find Goat's Milk Butter! (Because I can't have cow's milk.) It's been almost a month of no butter for me and I was having withdrawals. Almost to the point of giving in and sticking a spoon in a bowl of butter just to lick it clean. Thank goodness I found this butter! I pan roasted the broccolini then added a couple tablespoons of butter in the hot pan to get the butter brown. Then I added some freshly grated Mizithra cheese. **Note, don't add the Mizithra cheese when it's too hot because it browns/burns very fast.** Anyway, dinner was served with microwave prepared baked potato. This Meyenberg Goat's Milk Butter is great! It tastes like conventional butters. I think the texture of the butter might be a little softer and it certainly seems to melt faster. My next test, now that I've found butter I can eat, is to try some baking like scones, crusts and such that pretty much require the use of butter. Now if I could just find a decent bread substitute for me to slap some of this butter on it and just endulge...

"Special" Corn Muffins...

While I'm on this restricted diet, I am having withdrawals from cakes, pastries, breads and such. Click to more details on the restrictions. Last weekend I decided to try to bake corn muffins without any wheat flour, eggs or cow's milk. I used the recipe that comes on the box of Albers Yellow Corn Meal. I replaced the flour with about 75% sorghum flour and 25% potato flour. The egg was replaced with a whole ripe banana, crushed into a paste. The milk was substituted with goat's milk and I used extra virgin olive oil in place of the vegetable oil. I have never baked corn bread or muffins before so I cannot compare them to any of my past results (because there are none...). The result of this recipe is good. I ate a couple of the fresh and immediately froze the rest of the batch. It's recommended to freeze products that use alternatives to wheat flours to keep them moist. For breakfast or a snack, I pull one out of the freezer and pop it in the toaster oven for about 10 minutes to get it nice and toasty. It has a nice cruchy corn meal texture with a light essence of banana. I'll definitely be keeping my freezer stocked with a batch of these for me to snack on every so often. Have you tried any good recipes using alternatives??
