Tried something new tonight and it was so delicious. You know I love those nice pork loins they have at Kroger that go on sale often for $1.99 a pound. Found another use for them tonight.
I cut the pork loin into about 2" pieces. Then I wrapped each piece with bacon. I put them on the skewer with zucchini, onion and the little potatoes. I sprayed the vegetables with Pam and seasoned them with salt and pepper. I didn't season the meat. The bacon did that for me. I cooked it on a low to medium heat so the bacon wouldn't burn and the pork loin would have time to cook. I checked the pork loin with a meat thermometer to know when it was ready. As always I let the meat rest about 5 minutes before serving so I wouldn't loose any juices. All I needed to go with this was bread. Next time I will try it with different veggies, maybe some mushroom.

Pecan Pie Bread Pudding
I found myself with a left over pack of hamburger buns after a cookout and remembered a pecan pie bread pudding that my friend Paulette made at supper club one night. You can use any kind of bread but the left buns actually worked great. Serve it warm with a dollop of Cool Whip. If you've never tried the extra creamy Cool Whip, you must. It taste more like freshly made whipped cream.
8 cups of bite size bread pieces.
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups of light corn syrup
1/3 cup of packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup of granulated sugar
2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon of maple or vanilla extract (I used vanilla)
1/2 teaspoon salt (if you use salted butter, decrease the salt)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup of pecans, chopped
Tear the bread into bite size pieces and place in a baking pan that has been well sprayed with Pam. I used the equivalent of a 8x8 or 9x9 pan. The pack of 8 hamburger buns worked perfect.
Melt the butter and drizzle over the bread. In a large bowl whisk the eggs then add the corn syrup, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, salt and maple OR vanilla extract (your choice). Stir in the pecans then pour over the bread pieces. Use a spatula to push the mixture into the bread pieces. The recipe called for 375 for 45 minutes. I baked mine on 350 and decided to remove it after about 30 minutes or so. You know your oven. Remove it when it reaches the brownness you desire.
