Dinner In Minutes: Featuring Smithfield Marinated Pork Sirloin
I live a double life. At home, I am wife, pet parent, and writer. But at my day job, I have four kids who just returned to school. And we all know what that means: the return of homework, after school activities, and chaos. I’m easily overwhelmed, so it’s necessary for me to establish my back to school routine.
I’m constantly searching for quick but healthy meal options for both home and work. Most nights, I end up cooking two dinners #ThisIsMyLife. Trust me when I say convenience is everything.
I’m not the most gifted cook in the world, and with four new critics added to my audience, it’s important to me (and well, to my ego) that what I cook for dinner is something I can rely on pleasing everyone. The simplest way is to reach for an old favorite.
Back to School Dinner Sure to Please
What you’ll need:
Smithfield Marinated Pork Sirloin (purchased at Walmart)
1 head of cauliflower
steam in bag broccoli
- Cook the marinated pork sirloin per the instructions on packaging.
- Remove the cauliflower from the head.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Place cauliflower in pot and boil for 20 minutes.
- Pour cauliflower into colander, drain. Return to pot.
- Mash cauliflower, adding salt and butter to taste. Taste as you go.
- Microwave steam-in-bag broccoli according to instructions on package.
The marinated pork sirloin comes out so tender and juicy every single time, and the mashed cauliflower is a surprising hit. My carb loving husband and cauliflower hating rental kids absolutely love it. It’s such a delicious way to sneak in a few extra nutrients, making this back to school dinner a hit not only with the kids but with the parents, too.
Whether I’m cooking for my work family or for the husband at home, I don’t want to spend any more time planning or prepping dinner than I have to. I’m a huge fan of any product that does the work for me.
