GLAMping.


So...there's camping.
  • Then there is Glamorous+Camping.
  • Hence, Glamping.
  • And although I don't think my family is quite at the 
  • purist Glamping stage 
  • (we do sleep in tents and do not have a satellite dish hooked up to it, even).
  •  But we do eat the most delicious gourmet "camping" food known to man. Take a peek at this menu: 
  • Pancakes with fresh blueberries from the woods, homemade cinnamon rolls, Naan bread roasted on the fire with peanut rice and delish Indian chicken (TWO kinds), foil dinners made with garden zucchini, cauliflower....you name it, wraps with roasted turkey breast and cherry tomatoes, bannock with homemade jams and jellies, and even pork tenderloin with pear salsa.

And you thought I was going to list something preposterous like chili-cheese dogs. 

That is for camping. 
Not glamping.


Fireroasted Pork Tenderloin With Pear Salsa


  • You will need (for the Pork marinade): 

  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 (1 pound) whole pork tenderloins, cut into 3/4 inch slices


  • You will need (for the Pear Salsa)

  • 4 cups chopped pears (I love them with peels on!)
  • 1/3 cup chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint (Or less if you don't love, love, love minty fresh).
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon grated lime peel
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped finely
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (Or splenda)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Cut tenderloin in desired amounts. Mix merinade and put in large plastic bag. Pour merinade on and let sit for several hours in a cool place. 
Then chop all the contents of the pear salsa and mix together. Set aside. 
Put cooking grate on fire pit. Build a fire and make several hot coals. Cook meat on a frying man, flipping often until they are slightly brown. Serve with salsa. 
(OR grill this up on the barbecue!)

And if you're us,
also make sweet potatoes cooked on the fire, fresh green beans and anything else fancy nancy.

P.S. Giveaway ends this Friday!!
