Mummy pork

Pork loin (about a pound)
Spicy brown mustard
Crumbled bacon (optional)
Philo (phyllo?) dough (9x14 sheets)
Butter (melted)
Apple (Optional)

This was really good and festive for Halloween.
1. optional: Marinade pork loin (not sliced but a roll of it) in spicy brown mustard (optional: crumbled bacon).
2. Broil pork 6 inches away from heat for 6 minutes (with our without marinade). Remove from oven and cool slightly. Change oven to 400.
3. Lay out one layer of Philo dough, brush with butter, then lay another sheet of Philo dough on top. Repeat. You want about 4 layers. You will wrap the pork, with the marinade, in the phyllo dough. Then take another sheet of phyllo dough, brush with butter, lay a sheet of phyllo dough on top. Repeat like before. Cut into strips and wrap like a mummy. If you want a head, peel the apple and wrap in sheets of phyllo dough.
4. Cook uncovered for 15-20 minutes or till an internal temperature of 160. Let cool for about 10 minutes before cutting.

Easy pork ideas

So, this is the quickest meal I know, but it takes a little advance preparation. I buy pork loins in bulk from Costco/Sam's Club. I cut them in half, and since there's two of us-Jon and i, I put two in each bag (so do however many you'd need each time). Then I pick 3-4 marinades. Pork chops work well with fruit side dishes or sweet flavors. Some marinades I've tried and liked:

1. Maple syrup and walnuts
2. A sun dried tomato Tuscan salad dressing (were trying panera's balsamic salad dressing this time)
3. Apple pie filling (a can of peaches sounds good right now but I haven't tried it)
4. Raspberry Wasabi dip (it's like a specialty mustard sauce we found here in Indiana, but a mustard would work)

Anyways, freeze in any serving size you like with a brief description of the marinade and the date. Then the day before or the day of, take it out of the freezer to thaw.

To cook, turn a pan on high heat and you'll sear the pork on each side (leave extra marinade in the bag-syrup and some dressings don't cook as well). This doesn't take very long. Pour the extra marinade on top after seared to heat it up and for extra flavor. To make a healthy meal of it, throw together a salad, frozen mixed veggies in the microwave (usually what we do, we buy frozen veggies in bulk from Sam's) and rice. Our you can open up a can of fruit or applesauce. Another option we've tried for pork is searing pork that wasn't in a marinade and putting a little salt and pepper on it and then serve with applesauce on top.

We started using pork with weight watchers dinners (the maple syrup one we got from weight watchers). We've found it to be easy and tasty when we sear it, which is also the gayest way to cook it. Thawed pork can be ready to eat in under 10 minutes. (Possibly in about 5 minutes).

Stacey's Pork Chops

These I learned in Louisiana from a very good friend of mine- Stacey.  He barbecued them, and I must say they do seem to taste better when barbecued, but I don't own a barbecue and so every time I've made them, I've done them in the oven and they work just fine.

Ingredients: 
Pork chops (or another meat- I've done sirloin steaks too)
Bell Peppers (any colors you like, I do red, orange and yellow)
Onions
Pineapple Rings (canned slices that are still round)
Teriyaki Sauce
Tabasco Sauce (or another hot sauce you like)
Bacon
Toothpicks

Prep:
1. Make sure that you will be able to fold over the meat, or cut it in half (do not cut completely in half- keep one side attached).  I usually cut it open.
2. Marinate the meat in Teriyaki Sauce and a little bit of Tabasco Sauce and also the pineapple juice (open the can with the sliced rings in it and drain the juice into the marinade).  If you don't like your meat as dry, marinate it for longer.  For the pork chops I've done anywhere from 2 hours to all day. 
3. Slice the bell peppers and onion(s).

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. For each piece of meat, fill the inside with a selection of your bell peppers, onions and either half or a whole ring of pineapple per piece of meat.
2. Fold over, and wrap in bacon (it usually takes 3-4 slices per piece of meat).  When you wrap the bacon around, this is when you use the toothpicks.  Try to completely wrap your piece of meat, use the toothpicks to keep the ends of the bacon slices where you want them.
4. Place the finished pieces in a pan/casserole dish/cake pan.  Pour the marinade over the finished pieces.  Use the extra pineapple rings and drape over the toothpicks.
5. Throw the extra vegetables in the pan in the marinade to cook them with the meat.
6. Cook for however long the meat takes to cook.  With the pork chops it seems to take about 45 minutes.
