You cannot imagine how excited I am to participate with The Motherhood, The National Pork Board and Publix in the Good And Good For You Challenge!! So what is it?

The National Pork Board is asking people to take a pledge to eat healthy throughout 2012 and each week, their retail partner, Publix, will offer a special sale on a cut of deliciously lean pork. So to help kick-start the effort, the “Good and Good For You Challenge” will take place over a four-week period from January 26th-February 22nd 2012 and myself along with a group of fabulous bloggers will be highlighting each pork special and a delicious recipe.

This week’s Pork Be Inspired cut of lean pork is….pork tenderloin!! YUMMY!! And we are making Baked Pork Egg Rolls.

I said “we” are making egg rolls because this is a mad crazy week for our family. We are celebrating the Pastor and First Lady’s 6th Church Anniversary (that is us) and every night this week leading up until Sunday evening is booked with events. So, I needed an extra two sets of hands to make dinner this week. So hubby and baby boy helped me pull it off.

Here is how we all helped out making this incredibly delicious meal:
I purchased my nice cut of pork tenderloin which was on sale and ingredients from our local Publix

Seasoned and cooked the tenderloin and checked for proper cooking temperature with the thermometer that was sent to me:

Hubby chopped up all of my ingredients!

As hubby ran out the door to get his hair cut before that night’s event, I mixed up all of the ingredients for the egg roll filling, placed it in the center of the egg roll wrappers and called baby boy in to start rolling!

Then placed them in the oven for baking!

Ironically enough, since we didn’t have much time in our day, this recipe is perfect for those “last minute” dinner ideas or when you just have enough time to make something that is Good And Good For You. Here is what our egg rolls looked like:

These egg rolls were THE BOMB DOT COM (LOL!!!). I would not lie to you! And with the spicy sauce, it was heaven! For other recipes cooking with lean pork, check out the Pork Facebook Page.

The recipe for the Baked Egg Rolls including prep/cook time, ingredients, and directions and nutritional information can be found at this link.

Next week, we will be featuring Boneless Pork Loin Chops with a theme of GAME DAY (Super Bowl)!! And guess what? At the end of this series, I will be hosting a giveaway for the all of the things in the picture below PLUS $40 worth of pork coupons! Keep following!

**Disclosure*** This is a paid post series through The Motherhood, The National Pork Board, and Publix. I was supplied with coupons for lean pork, a Publix gift card, gift bag including pedometer, thermometer, water bottle, and reusable grocery bag plus recipes. All opinions are my own.

The Stylish Boy Series and MY FIRST LINK-UP!!

This is week two of The Stylish Boy Series and here is my weekly photo of my stylish boy. Here Thomas is wearing a brown, gray, and white pull over cotton sweater with a three snap button neck line, brown turtle neck cuffed jeans with brown boots.

This was actually what he wore to church on Sunday and I picked it because it was it was not only appropriate for the weather but had classic appeal as well.

I bought this outfit online from the Children’s Place. It came as an entire outfit along with shoes (but the shoes that I bought are not shown here). Check out last week’s Stylish Boy post here.

What are your sons wearing? and LINK UP!!!

The Stylish Boy! (The Series)

If you are the mother of boys, then you know that there are very limited clothing selections for our sons. Little girls have many wardrobe selections to choose from (dresses, skirts, leggings, pants, tutus, tights, jackets, sweaters, bows, headbands, ribbons, etc.) and it seems like the designers cater to girls. But we want our sons [...]
