So Thankful

Well, I hate to do this, but I've got a WHOLE LOT O' PICTURES from the holiday, so I must post one FAT blog of pictures. This is not my favorite way to blog, since you don't get good snapshots of each moment if you post the pictures in one big chunk, but if I don't get all of these up, I just might panic and want to give up on this blog thing. So, for those of you who were present in these pictures, these are for you to enjoy, and for those of you who were not present, my apologies for a very random blog.

STUFFED PORK TENDERLOIN

1 Pork Tenderloin(the kind that is split into 2 pieces in the package)

Lemon Pepper, Seasoned Salt, Garlic Salt

1 Bell Pepper

1 Onion

Bacon

1 Cup of Brown Sugar

1/2 Cup of worcestershire sauce

1 Stick of Butter

Liberally coat tenderloin in lemon pepper, seasoned salt, and garlic salt. Roughly chop bell pepper and onion and lay between the 2 pieces of tenderloin. Wrap in bacon and secure with toothpicks. Melt brown sugar, worcestershire sauce, and butter in a saucepan and baste during cooking. Bake on 350 for 1 hour. You can serve the remaining sauce on the side, if desired.
