Beer Mustard Crusted Pork Loin is just in time for Oktoberfest with beer mustard and brown sugar marinated and coated on pork loin grilled to perfection.

I’m baby stepping my way back.

It’s been a real crap storm of a year and I needed a break.  The kind of break that heals the soul.  The kind of healing that can only be accomplished by time.

The kind of time spent spent at the beach for a week with my family.  The mixture of sweet and bitter to get to spend the week with one sister, yet missing another and her 7 year old triplets because the universe had other plans for them.

Time spent with my mom having dinner and drinks.  Sitting in a quiet corner of Harry’s talking about old friends, life, loss, and heartbreak.

Time spent fishing with my dad all day long from my dock.  An experience made even better by my dad’s willingness to bait my hook and release the giant ugly catfish I caught.  For this, I’ll forgive him for turning up his nose at my craft bear while drinking The Beast.

Time spent kayaking around the lake, sunset dinners on the deck overlooking the water with Chris, pedicures, life jackets and little kids jumping off the dock into the water, me jumping off the dock into the water, Great Blue Herons and Turkey Vultures, drifting around the lake on a raft with a floating cooler of my favorite summer craft beers, laughter, kids fishing, good trashy books, good friends, meeting new friends, boat rides, water skiing, cook-outs, baked beans, burgers and dogs, popsicles, and of course, plenty of craft beer.

It’s been a summer of healing, friends.

Beer Mustard Crusted Pork Loin

And now I’m back.  I can’t think of a better way to return than with a craft beer celebration just in time for Oktoberfest.  Milena from Craft Beering has gathered a bunch of friends together to bring you a collection of recipes for an Oktoberfest Bash.  I give you a Beer Mustard Crusted Pork Loin.  Scroll below the recipe for a complete list of Oktoberfest Bash food and links to the amazing recipes.

Pork Loin Roulade with Mustard Pale Ale Sauce

Pork Loin Roulade with Mustard Pale Ale Sauce

Pork Loin Roulade with Mustard Pale Ale Sauce-1

 

Well, good morning, sunshine!  I totally want to start out this day with a huge THANK YOU to all my wonderful friends for the Happy Birthday wishes!  It was a great birthday with some vacation days thrown in and a party with friends and family Saturday night.  We had a fun evening with corned beef done 4 different ways! Woot!

 

Pork Loin Roulade with Mustard Pale Ale Sauce-10

 

There was one mishap that landed me on my backside on our tile floors resulting in many injuries and bruises, but luckily no trips to the hospital.

 

Pork Loin Roulade with Mustard Pale Ale Sauce-11

 

Y’all know that I have 4 huge dogs, right?  3 boxers and a pit bull.  Well, Holly decided to guzzle a bunch of water then barf it up on my tile floor.

 

Holly2

 

She certainly looks sorry, doesn’t she?  What a face….

What happened was I heard them barking like someone was at the door and I was totally expecting packages – because BIRTHDAY!  I came walking up the hallway, stepped in a pile of dog puke, my feet went out from under me, arms and legs everywhere – all in slow motion, of course.  I landed on my bum and my arm with one of my legs going forward and one going backward.  I gotta be honest here, I haven’t done the splits since way before my last 29th birthday.  It wasn’t pretty.  There may have also been some scared dogs running and words yelled that would make a sailor cringe.

 

Pork Loin Roulade with Mustard Pale Ale Sauce-5

 

There’s nothing like slipping on and landing in a pile of dog puke to get your birthday weekend started on the right note.

I know I’ve said this before, and I’m sayin’ it again.  What in tarnation does this ridiculous story have to do with a pork loin roulade with mustard pale ale sauce?  Not a dang thing.  Have a fantastic weekend, y’all!

Brisket and Pulled Pork Stroganoff

August 10, 2015 by rachelle 38 Comments

FULL DISCLOSURE: I wrote this post last night (Sunday) under extreme exhaustion (read below) and thought I had set it to publish this am.  Apparently, I had the marshmallow and brownie sweats and scheduled this post to publish on Tuesday instead of Monday.  I hope that this disclosure puts this everything into context and that I can get myself a pass on this transgression – additionally I hope I can learn how to read a calendar and get some sleep.  I’m glad we had this little talk.

Happy Monday!  How was your weekend?  Mine was a very welcome reprieve because last week for me was a total buzzkill!

But last weekend was a blast because we had Lisa’s annual Birthday Meat Fest.  We smoked a brisket and and a pork butt and had a ton of leftovers, so when I found out at the last minute that we were having a couple of guests for dinner I decided to use it in a stroganoff.  It was delicious.

 

DSC_0109

 

That’s Zoe. One of our dinner guests. She is one of the coolest people I have ever met and quite the old soul.

 

DSC_0110

 

That’s Harmony.  Zoe’s sister.  She did her own makeup.  She also loves marshmallows, brownies, strawberries and cherries.  She’s 4.  And one hot mess.

 

DSC_0090_01

 

They loved stroganoff for dinner and made me bake all night long.  I’m exhausted.  I forget how much work a 4 year old is.  Jeesh.

 

DSC_0129

 

We did this.  I admit it. Candy canes, marshmallows, and strawberries.  Chocolate.  Can’t forget about that.  We were a hot mess.  We also made brownies.  I would like to sleep for the next 246 days, but oh yeah, I have to work.  Womp womp!

 

DSC_0132

 

It was a blast and I totally welcomed the fun.  It was almost like being a kid again.

 

DSC_0115_01

 

This is the face I’ll be making in the morning.

 

DSC_0113_01

 

And I’ll totally be having some marshmallow violence drama.

Belgian Tripel Beer Marinated Stuffed Pork Loin with Plum Sauce

April 2, 2015 by rachelle 22 Comments

Yep.  Beer everywhere.

DSC_0352_01

 

Since the home improvements continue, my bed is in the dining room, and my dresser is in the living room, it seemed appropriate to drown my problems in beer.

 

DSC_0327_01

 

Who is with me?

 

DSC_0303_01

 

Come on ride this train.

 

DSC_0318_01

 

I marinated a pork loin in beer.  I put beer in the stuffing.

 

DSC_0280_01

 

I even made a plum sauce with…

 

DSC_0307_01

 

You guessed it.  Beer.  A Belgian Tripel actually – one of our home brews.  Chris made this one the same day I brewed an Irish Red that we later infused with Jameson’s.  Because that’s the way we roll.

 

DSC_0286_01

 

I may have even poured some in a glass for personal consumption.  Because that’s the way I roll.

 

DSC_0288_01

 

Hey wait!  Who drank my beer?

 

DSC_0296_01

 

Phew…that’s better.

Home improvement without home brew is unacceptable.

 

DSC_0337_01

 

So I put it everywhere.

 

DSC_0356_01

 

And stuffed a pork loin.

 

DSC_0339_01

 

While my tile floors are being installed.

 

DSC_0352_01

 

And I’m doing my best to hang on to my sanity.

 

DSC_0356_01

 

Could you kindly pass me a beer?
