Very quick and easy, since the pot stickers are on hand.

10. coffee rub

I recently made a pork tenderloin and used a coffee rub with it. I got the idea from an attractive jar at Whole Foods. Pretty sure I didn't need another jar of seasonings taking up room in kitchen, I decided I'd make my own rub.

I roasted it at 250 in my convection oven for an hour or so (not really sure on the time). When I took it out, it had the most glorious brown crust on it. Totally delicious and very tender with a crisp outside. I will certainly do this again!

However, potstickers, homemade: never again. Took me all of a Saturday and after that I said I was only going to buy them.

and were not a big success. I followed a recipe and it was a bust. Which is too bad considering the effort involved. Do you just rub the pork with ground coffee? That doesn't sound all that appetizing.

Can't believe I didn't remember to post the pork rub with coffee. Here it is:

Coffee Rub for Pork Tenderloin

For the spice rub:
• 2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon instantespresso powder (I used instant coffee)
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
For the tenderloins:
• 2 (1- to 1-1/2-pound) pork tenderloins
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
Total Time: 1 hr 15 mins, plus up to 24 hrs marinating time
Makes: 4 to 6 servings
Lean pork tenderloin gets a boost of flavor from a smoky spice rub. Just coat pork tenderloins with a mixture of brown sugar, espresso powder, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Grill until just cooked through but still juicy, and serve with a side of Kale and Apple Coleslaw at your next barbecue.
Game plan: After 30 minutes, the spice-rubbed tenderloins are ready to be grilled, but for more developed flavor and juicier meat, let them sit for up to 24 hours. | by Christine Gallary

small salad. I am using baked fish in the taco instead of fried. I love the fried crunch and flavor but am trying it baked both for ease and probably a bit healthier.

Might just be scroungables. We had french toast made from cinnamon bread last night, mainly because the loaf had gone stale but not yet molded. I suppose in honor of it being national pig day, I won't eat anything made from a pig, though.

I made the chicken legs I bought from Whole Foods tonight. They were good, but not great. I wouldn't make this recipe again. I couldn't find my original recipe, so I had to grab one off the I'net.

I have a big stack of my hard copy recipes sitting by the fireplace, waiting for the finishing touches of organization. I should have checked. So much easier to Google it.

As accompaniments, I made cucumber salad with dill and crema Mexicana. Glazed carrots with dill.

I used to make this recipe quite often for company. Happened to remember it while thinking..."what can I make with chicken and shallots and artichoke hearts"?

Served it with buttery couscous and a citrus/baby greens salad.
