Grilled Pork and Plum Kebabs

The 19th recipe I did for 52 recipes in 2017 is Grilled Pork and Plum Kebabs.

I know, I'm super behind on my 52 recipes, but I think I'll get caught up soon.

We bought a huge carton of plums from Costco, and we needed to use them up, since I'm the only one who really eats them. I decided to search Pinterest for ideas, but most of what I found was desserts or jam. After a little harder search I found lots of pork and plum recipes. On nice summer evenings, we love the grill so the kebabs was perfect.

I found the recipe here.




Grilled Pork and Plum Kebabs
  • 1/4 cup tamari or soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 3 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced or crushed
  • 1 thumb sized knob ginger, peeled and grated
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 pork tenderloin, cubed
  • 8 black or purple plums, halved and pitted
  • 1 onion, quartered and divided into slices


Whisk first 8 ingredients together for the marinade, and pour into a zip lock bag.
Add pork and plums. Seal and put in fridge for at least an hour, or overnight.
Heat grill to high.
Divided between 8 soaked wooden skewers, or metal ones, thread pork, plums, and onion.
Lightly oil grill. Grill, covered, about 6 minutes, turning often, until pork is no longer pink inside.
Serve with Asian Plum Sauce for dipping.
Notes
*If using wooden skewers, soak skewers for an hour in water before using, to prevent burning.

Happy Homemaker Monday

Woke up to a nice cold, fall day this morning. When I did the school run this morning it was a whole 37 degrees.  Brrrrr!!! The weather outside is:::: Very cold mornings causing us to turn our heat on but warm afternoons.

I'm eating a turkey bacon and gouda sandwich and drinking my venti mocha with 2 pumps of pumpkin spice.

We put up our outside decorations last night for fall and Halloween. It's looks so cute out there. Right now I am:::: Sitting at the counter trying to quickly type up this post and eat my breakfast.

Potato Soup

During Lent this last spring, I needed a meat free dinner to feed my sister-in-law and her family. Usually my potato soup has lots of bacon and bacon grease in it. I found this recipe here .This one is meatless, but it is important to add that it is NOT dairy free. There are adjustments you can do to make it dairy free though. It’s quick and was really well liked.  Potato Soup 6-8 cups russet potatoes, peeled and chopped 1 yellow onion, diced 2 stalks celery, chopped 1 clove garlic 4 cups vegetable stock 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded 1/2 cup sour cream or cream 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper Pinch red pepper flakes 1 tbsp butter 1 tbsp olive oil In a large pot over medium heat, add the butter and olive oil.

Long Time, No Talk

 Hey!! It’s been so long since I’ve come on here with anything other than recipes. Sadly, I haven’t been cooking much lately, so I don’t have any new recipes at the moment, but I have been super busy. It’s Nutcracker season in our house. It’s Christmas time, school concert time, and we have a million birthdays happening now and soon, but the thing that’s taking up all of our time is Nutcracker Shenanigans. All three girls are in the show. This year, Scottie is a sunflower. Rylie is a party child, a strawberry, and the understudy for both Clara and Fritz. Sydney is a snow, a trooper, and a part time flower. Ben is also working tech for the show. He’s been helping set everything up, and during the show he’ll be working the light board. I’ve been volunteering by watching littles during the tech week rehearsals, and another mom and myself have taken on the responsibility of running the Nutcracker Tea Party fundraiser for the pre professional dance company. It’s been fun, exhausting, someti
