Thanks, Max.

Ironically, she likes baking more than cooking. She rarely bakes due to her diabetes. She will bake for the holidays to give as gifts for friends and family.

My younger daughter prefers to cook over bake.

I prefer cooking because it is more forgiving. 😄

I am more of a dump and pour cook like my mom and grandmother. They never measured a thing and were awesome cooks!

Max, how is your puppy doing? Does he eat a lot? Do you cook for him?

My daughter cooks breakfast for her dog on the weekends! LOL She will scramble eggs for him.

My daughter with cats feeds them cat food but every now and then gives them a little piece of chicken.

Thanks, Glad

I appreciate it. It seems to affect us more when our children are are suffering.

It hurt to see my parents suffer but seeing my daughter suffer is much harder.

I hope so too. She’s suffered enough. Crohn’s is awful to live with.

I want to thank everyone for their prayers and support for my daughter. She had her surgery today. They were able to repair the area where she has been getting several ulcers. They also removed a lot of scar tissue. She’s in the recovery room now.

Thanks again. It means a lot to me to have your support. 💗

Me too, Golden.

I am always relieved whenever she has a few days where she feels better.

Then I usually get a call or text message from her that she’s back in the hospital.

We expect our health to fail as we age but she struggles in her 30’s. It is hard to see anyone suffering but especially hard to see younger people suffering.

You guys are making me want some roast pork, but I like the fatty cuts best so there are cracklings.

Hi all - I also roast my pork tenderloins with rosemary and garlic cooked in olive oil. I also make a pork "loin" same way with onions, garlic, rosemary, potatoes, wine and olive oil. I also make this with bone-in pork chops. I also make the pork tenderloins french style with a mustard and cream sauce with peppercorns. Yummy! Bon Appetit ❤️

Send,

The doctors are discussing surgery for my daughter. She’s already been through quite a bit. She spends a good deal of time at the doctor’s office or the hospital.

I’m glad that the 13 year old that you are referring to gained weight and is doing better. I hope that one day my daughter will improve too.

NHWM,
There was a 13 y.o. who came to the doctor's office with Chron's disease.
The surgeon removed a portion of the intestine. I think that is the treatment, and not sure if it was a cure. But he gained weight, no longer appeared sick.
I could be wrong.

I read that there is no cure.

Your DD has a challenging illness with diabetes and Chron's disease.
I am going to pray also.

Diabetes would complicate things. I wish there was a cure for both diabetes and Crohn's. Still praying for her.

My husband loves sauces too.

She’s struggling, Golden. Thanks for asking. I wish there was a cure for Crohn’s disease.

Maybe one day there will be a better way to treat it. With my daughter having diabetes this complicates everything as well.

R loves sauces and gravies. I think he would really like it and want a little cayenne in it. I have found a good vegan "whipping cream" which I can cook with, or use regular cream and eat mine with apple sauce or gravy before the cream is added. I have started making cream soups with this product and it works well. There are so many more substitutions for wheat/barley rye and oats, and dairy now than there used to be.

Need - How's your daughter doing?

Golden,

I do it the same as you. I take my tenderloin out at 140 - 145. It’s still cooking as it rests before slicing it.

I roast veggies with mine too. So good!

Burnt’s paprika cream does sound wonderful. I may have to try it!

Making more chicken soup/bone broth again.

I roast my pork tenderloin seasoned with garlic and rosemary @ 425 for a short period of time. It's not dry as long as you don't leave it in for long. I use a meat thermometer and cook till over 145. Sometimes I roast apple wedges with it or onion and carrots. Love apple sauce with my pork roast!

Some good ideas from everyone posting below. The paprika cream gravy sounds wonderful.

I love garlic too!

Report

Thanks!
Pepper Jelly and Poblano peppers sound good!
The fresh garlic, mushrooms, and sour cream (or greek yogurt, plain) would have helped!

I also thought of celery, parsely, and cilantro that I often use. I did use soy sauce and chili powder. I forgot the garlic.

Always a problem cooking if I want to omit anything tomato, like diced tomatoes, tomato paste, sun dried tomatoes, etc.

The pork tenderloin was never dry. Even after cooking 2 hours. By then I was in a hurry.

Burnt,

Sounds delicious! I love any kind of peppers.

My husband is like you are. He prefers evenly balanced seasonings. I can eat spicier foods more than my husband.

A woman at the farmers market asked me if a dip was hot. I told her that I didn’t think it was. Oh my gosh, she started choking and her eyes started tearing up! I felt horrible. I guess that she wasn’t used to heat. My husband said to the woman, “NEVER ask my wife if anything is hot!” LOL 😆

I haven’t tried cooking a pork loin (I buy tenderloin) on a low heat. I cook it at 425 for 20 to 30 minutes. If it cooks for longer it is dry!

I do cook a pork shoulder on low heat. I always do that overnight in a crockpot. I set it between eight and ten hours on low to cook. I find that the crockpot does a great job with a pork shoulder.
