I'm getting tired of the same old pork chop. I bought a whole pork loin today and am thinking of a marinade of olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, and whole grain mustard. I always have a difficult time keeping pork roasts and beef eye round roasts moist. Any ideas out there for a delicious, carb friendly marinade that will help keep the roast moist and flavorfull? I'm a great cook, but it's always hit or miss when I roast anything but chicken.

Any ideas are appreciated!

One of our favorite ways to cook a pork loin is to brush it with some olive oil then sprinkle it heavily with course sea salt then fresh cracked pepper. Bake till it's done and then you just break the crust off. It seals in the juices and the flavor is very simple and good.

We also like to grill it wrapped in foil on the grill.

You could always make it like Heroin Wings. I do that sometimes.

Heroin Wings

4 lbs. Chicken wings
1/2 c. butter
1 c. grated parmesean cheese
2 tablespoons dried parsley
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Preheat the oven to 350. Cut the wings up into drummettes and freeze the pointy tips for soup.

Combine the grated cheese and the seasonings. Line a shallow baking pan with foil. (Do NOT omit this step, or you'll be scrubbing the pan for the next 2 weeks!)

Melt the butter in a shallow bowl or pan. Dip each drummette in butter, roll in the seasoned cheese, and arrange in the foil lined pan. Bake for 1 hour. Kick yourself that you didn't make a double batch!

Ooohhh, heroin wings! I forgot all about them. That is a great idea.

The sea salt, too. Almost like doing a pork wellington without the dough on the outside.
