This white bean recipe utilizes navy beans and turkey sausage to replace ham and ham hocks for a healthier alternative. Navy beans are a great source of fiber with over 11 grams per 1 cup cooked serving and along with 1 cup of brown rice with over 3 grams of fiber it makes this a very high fiber combination.

Roasted Pork Loin with Cornbread Apple Stuffing
November 11th, 2008 · 17 Comments
This is one of my favorite holiday meals and I have been making this dish since the late 1980’s after I first learned about a mesquite roasted version of the preparaton from Chef John Draz who was chef at The Winnetka Grill near Chicago, Illinois. The original restaurant burned down in 1996 and has since been shuttered and Draz has moved on to other lofty chef duties but the recipe remains alive in this version and my variation.

A holiday twist on an ole Southern favorite of cornbread muffins. Using roasted pumpkin seeds, shredded cheddar and minced garlic this cornbread muffin recipe is a sure fire addition to any holiday meal. I whipped these up last week while my parents were in town and I also used 4 of the muffins once cooled as part of a cornbread stuffing in my pork loin roast. I’ll post that recipe later in the week.
