Christmas Recipe: Eggnog Pancakes

Whether it's a festive "breakfast for dinner" Christmas Eve tradition, or a fun Christmas morning with the kids, these holiday-inspired pancakes are oh-so-special! Use up some of that leftover eggnog to make these delicious breakfast treats. The warm flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg will put you in a holiday mood all day!

'Tis The Season Eggnog Pancakes

(Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour (or 1 cup white, one cup whole wheat)
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3 cups good eggnog
2 large eggs, beaten

Directions:

1. Put a fine mesh sieve over a large bowl; put all the dry ingredients in the sieve and shake to sift into the bowl (or use a flour sifter).
2. Add the eggnog and eggs to the dry ingredients and stir together until just combined - don't over mix, you should see some lumps just like any pancake batter.
3. Lightly oil your griddle or skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Drop batter by ladle or measuring cup out onto hot griddle, wait until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake, then flip and brown the other side.
5. Serve warm with maple syrup or fresh fruit topping.

Recipe: Ginger Mustard Marinated Pork Tenderloin

Here is a hearty and delicious recipe fancy enough for a holiday feast, yet simple enough to make for a Sunday family dinner. Ginger and soy sauce gives this classic cut of meat an Asian twist of big flavor which will tantalize the most advanced palate, and they'll never need to know it only has 6 ingredients!

Easy enough for beginner to intermediate cooks, but those who eat it may just mistake you for a gourmet chef!

Ginger Mustard Marinated Pork Tenderloin
(Serves 4 as a main dish.)

Ingredients:

(Photo credit: Wikipedia)

1.5 lb pork tenderloin (naturally raised or organic)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tsp fresh ginger root, grated
2 tsp coarse ground black pepper
* serve with sauteed shredded red or green cabbage, optional (see suggestion below)

Directions:

• If pork tenderloin is in two parts, tie together with butchers string.
• Put the soy sauce, mustard, garlic, and ginger in a large ziploc plastic bag and shake to mix.
• Set the pork in the plastic bag and shake around to coat pork well.
• Place the pork in the refrigerator for 4 to 8 hours (overnight is fine), turning plastic bag over several times to make sure pork is marinated evenly.

To cook:

• Remove the pork from bag, letting marinade drip off; set pork in dish and evenly sprinkle with black pepper.
• Preheat grill or oven and cook until internal temperature of pork reaches 150 degrees.
• Remove and let rest 5 to 10 minutes before slicing into thin slices to serve.

Serving Suggestion: For a side dish, saute shredded cabbage (cole slaw) in hot skillet until just tender.  Sprinkle a touch of soy sauce in skillet and stir into cabbage to season.
