| Amen, Maxine!!! |
Search no further for an affordable delicious roast that’s almost impossible to ruin.
Blend caraway and celery seeds, onion powder, paprika and salt and pepper. Rub the mixture into the roast and pop it in the oven for a scrumptious entree.
I served it with mashed potatoes and broccoli ~ and to round it out, I even made a little gravy out of the pork drippings. Ummm! Mmm!
A perfect little meal for anyone on a cold winter day!

Pam, This is my kind of meal, especially in cold weather! Our temperature tonight will be the coldest yet this winter...at 13 degrees. We still haven't seen any snow, although we did see a few snow flurries once. :)! Wish you were here... Last night we had a pot roast with carrots that were cooked in with the roast...another cold weather favorite! Laurie and I did talk about getting a pork roast when we were in the grocery store yesterday, but we decided that it would have to wait until we use up a couple of the packs of pork chops that we have in the freezer. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteWhoa, chilly there too, Dave! Maybe I could arrange to have snow shipped down to you. :-) We like pot roast with veggies to and thanks for reminding me of it. Perfect winter food! Take care
DeleteOMG so good and such a comfort food yummy!!! well... here is a little bit hotter than there :D 14º outhere and i'm freezing :( i wouldn't imagine if it was -6º now :D i surely was losing my nose :D
ReplyDeletekiss kiss and have an awesome week :)
Ha, too funny, Cátia! I don't want you to lose your nose! If it were 14° Celsius here, people would be out there in shorts now, washing their cars. :-) Have a great week and kisses to you!
Deletehahaha LOL!! oh i'm laughing so loud right now :D yeah, i can imagine ...but for me, even with 14º celsius out there, i think that in my home was -25ºc :D :D i'm overreacting...but...anyway :D kisses to you too my dear Pam :)
Deleteps: sorry for my bad english :D :/
No, your English is great. When it gets a little warm outside here, we appreciate it and go crazy. :-) Hugs kisses to you.
DeleteWe are not wimps when it comes to cold weather. Of course, it helps to have a stick-to-your-ribs roast like this one on the table!!
ReplyDeleteBest,
Bonnie
You got it, Bonnie! We are not wimps when it comes to this kind of weather. The sun is shining beautifully now. Stick-to-your-ribs food is the way to go! Keep warm!
DeleteI am so used to it! And I love meals like this in cold weather:)
ReplyDeleteHi Monique! I bet you really are since I'm sure it has been this cold, there for you, much more, than here. All those comfort food dishes are what's needed now.
DeleteYou're not going to believe this Pam but, I just put a small pork loin in the oven! We're having our coldest day yet, which is a good thing considering, so, I stuck the roast in the oven all herbed up on low and away it goes! Warms the belly and the house.
ReplyDeleteI was debating on mashed potatoes but your meal looks so darn yummy, I'm going with the mashed too!!!
Thanks for inspiring and sharing, Pam...
That sounds great, Louise! I'm sure it was delicious. It's good with herbs and perfect for this cold weather, mashed potatoes makes it even better. Stay warm!
DeleteAs always, great minds think alike, don't they? I made a roast that looked just like that last Saturday, just added some mushrooms & red wine to cook along with the pork. We had leftovers Sunday, and a bit is still left for sandwiches. It's cold here too!
ReplyDeletebest... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Oh, that sounds good too, Mae, with the mushrooms and wine. I will be trying that the next time. Leftovers for sandwiches is a plus! Take care
Deletesounds wonderful Pam!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Claudia!
DeleteOur weather is only a couple of degrees warmer. Wish I had a pork roast in the freezer as this sounds like the perfect, comforting cold weather meal :)
ReplyDeleteHi Liz! You know all about cold weather too. Comfort food season!
DeleteThis is the weather for roasting. I did veggies and experimented with a batch of low carb peanut butter cookies. I really enjoy being in the kitchen with the oven on in the winter. Keep cozy!
ReplyDeleteHi Carol! I agree, baking is great this time of year and those cookies sound interesting! You keep cozy also!
DeleteIt's also rather cold over here. This looks perfectly hearty and delicious.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Angie! Have a great rest of the week!
DeleteIt was snowing yesterday and today is really cold. This pork would give me all the necessary energy to cope with the cold!
ReplyDeleteYou're right on spot, Katerina! This is energy food that's needed now.
DeleteBrrrr. It's a tad cold here today too, relatively. Your pork roast looks delish! Can't do it without gravy!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Barbara! I seldom make gravy, but we love it when I do! :-) Take care
DeleteThis does look like a delicious and ideal cold weather meal, especially sided with mashed potatoes and using the oven helps warm the kitchen. I would have had to add more gravy to my meat after the photo :-)
ReplyDeleteI got that, Larry! :-) Bill concurs, I like to keep it on my mashed potatoes. Take care
DeleteHow I hate the cold and suddenly it is catching up with us here as well! Roast Pork is a favourite in this house and this sounds delicious. Sorry, I am struggling to catch up, and was ill again after visiting the UK at Christmas. I always get some bug when I go there! I have managed to keep the diary going but I hope My Life in Charente will come back to life soon! Take care Diane
ReplyDeleteHi Diane! Nice to see you here, and sorry to hear that you were not well. You must be allergic to the UK! :-) Glad you like roast pork also and I hope to see you back at "home" soon! Take care
DeleteHi Pam, wow! that is cold. Looks like a fabulous meal, love each component.
ReplyDeleteIt is cold, Cheri, still is today. Glad you like the meal, thanks!
DeleteRoasted pork loin is one of my favorite meat cuts! Love the recipe. I can<t write more cause my finger s are also stuck in the bitter cold.
ReplyDeleteHi Evelyne! Ha, get to cooking over a hot stove to warm those fingers up! :-)
DeleteOMG Pam...it is sure cold...this roast pork loin looks delicious, I like all the seasoning that you have on it...beautifully done.
ReplyDeleteStay warm and have a great week :)
It is, Juliana! Thanks for stopping by and have a great rest of the week!
DeleteI love pork tenderloin. The roasted pork looks yummy! I like the seasoning that you used in this recipe. Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteMe too, Dawn! Thanks so much. Take care
Deleteamen, maxine, indeed! this loin looks so tasty--i hardly ever make use of my caraway seeds!
ReplyDeleteHa, right on, Grace! Maxine says it like it is! Caraway seeds are great on a pork roast, I almost always add them for extra flavor. Take care
DeleteI agree with Maxine!! Wonderful seasonings and they sure made this roast look perfect!! I'm assuming that you cook this uncovered for the three hours? So yummy looking... stay warm Pam.....suppose to be really cool this weekend..
ReplyDeleteHi Shug! No, sorry, I should've said the pan is covered and I will change that. I'm sure it's much warmer by lucky you. Take care
DeleteLOVE pork loin. And it's cold -- and snowy -- here, so I'm definitely craving this. Terrific recipe -- thanks.
ReplyDeleteThanks, John! Have a great rest of the week!
DeleteHi Pam,
ReplyDeleteBetter late than never...Love a good pork loin and yours looks amazing! It is so moist and very tasty. Love the way your plate looks, my dad would say a "Blue Plate Special." Thanks for sharing...Keep warm you are in the cold zone, that is for sure... Crank up that oven...
Dottie :)
