You work hard to make a delicious and nutritious dinner for your family. You sit down at the table to eat, and, ewww, it tastes nas-tay. The dinner, gorgeous in your mind, is a flop.
At our house, we have a standing rule about such dinners. If dinner is unpalatable, we go out for fast food. Why suffer when you can have McNuggets? I heartily recommend this rule because it takes the pressure off! If dinner is bad, you have a back-up plan. That gives you the freedom to try new things in the kitchen.
The most recent dinner disaster in my home was a pork loin roast I made in my slow cooker. Although it smelled delicious when I walked in the door after work, it was overcooked and dry. I was particularly frustrated because it was a big hunk of meat. Instead of throwing it (and my hard-earned money!) all in the trash, I wanted to figure out some way to redeem the pork. What could I do to add some moisture back in and disguise the bland flavor?
Come back on Monday to find out how I turned disaster into delicious.
