What seasonings did you use?

My favorite standby side is loaded mashed potatoes! Other than that, I'm not really creative!

Make gravy with the juices and serve with smashed potatoes or buttered and parsley noodles and corn or green beans!

Shred and add BBQ sauce to make sandwiches!

loaded Mashed potatoes sounds good

What about coucus-coucus and a salad? When I make the 10 minute pork tenderloin, I tend to use those items.

sorry what is coucus-coucus???

sorry what is coucus-coucus???

Need to correct my post, it's couscous, instead of coucus-coucus. Sorry for any confusion.

It's a a very very small piece of pasta. It's smaller than a grain of rice. I can get instant Couscous at Hy-Vee - it's located in the section where the instant rice is. It's popular in morocco. For the life of me, I cannot remember the brand I have used. But there are a lot of different flavors. My favorite is Garlic Parmesan.

Hope this helps. You can google it: couscous

The orignal kind is a painstaking process to make, but now they have instant available! Yum!

I make sweet pork burritos all the time. Put your pork roast 2-3lbs in the crock pot with a cup of salsa and a cup of brown sugar. Let is cook all day then I serve it with black beans and rice and some cheese roll it up and you have a great burrito. Serve with a side of lettuce and salsa, YUMMY. I have even done it with elk roast to. But pork is the best.

Thanks for the ideas.... we went with mashed pots and gravy creamed peas... but I have enough left over to make the loaded potatoes and those burritos sound great! Thanks

Sarah -I just realized that if you're wanting to get an idea of what couscous is, it is an ingredient for one of the meals in the new 29 minute cookbook. Page 13.
