Foodness Gracious - Week 61

In partnership with

Recipes

As the cold days of January start to become the norm, we tend to stay inside a little more. The days of grilling are way back in the rear view mirror and many of us who live in these frigid temperatures long for the days of delicious food made outside the house.

Lucky for you, we are highlighting a phenomenal and healthy dish today that is made right in your home kitchen. No grills needed for this one!

Take a look at the flavor that you can almost smell in the photo of our Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Vegetables. This is completely packed with flavors of soy, ginger, and orange juice. Plus, it has a sweet and savory taste explosion that will exceed all your taste bud’s requirements.

We paired the pork tenderloin with broccoli and eggplant to round out the healthy ingredients to fit any New Year’s Resolution.

Some might call this a “pan dinner” and we are totally fine with that. Everything on a single pan and you have dinner ready for yourself and your family.

Reviews

I mentioned above how much I am missing my outdoor grill. Yes, I know I can brave the cold and wear a coat, but my mentality is that grilling is for short sleeves and shorts!

Today, we want to highlight an amazing product that brings the grill right into your home kitchen. I mentioned in a previous newsletter that a Blackstone can change your outdoor cooking.

Now, Blackstone has an electric option that can transform your indoor cooking as well!

This is a beautiful addition to your kitchen and can be purchased just in time for that special someone who also wants to wear a t-shirt and shorts, but can do it from the warmth of their home kitchen.

You can see all of our home kitchen product reviews too!

Foodness Fun - Food Trivia!

Last week we introduced a new Foodness Fun topic - Foodness Fun Trivia!

The question we posed was:

Which food was rationed during World War II
and became more popular after the war?

I hope you all made a guess. If your guess was SPAM…then you are correct!

After World War II, SPAM's popularity soared as it transitioned from a wartime necessity to a peacetime culinary staple. Its widespread use made it a household name, and returning soldiers brought a nostalgic affinity for the canned meat back home, cementing its place in American kitchens.

As rationing ended, SPAM became synonymous with convenience and versatility, appealing to the burgeoning post-war middle class seeking quick meal solutions. This cultural familiarity turned SPAM into a culinary icon, celebrated in recipes and even pop culture, securing its status as a pantry staple in the years that followed.

Hope you enjoyed our new segment of Foodness Food Trivia!
