Pork Medallion with Caramelized Onions and Fennel

February 20, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 16 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Do you ever have kitchen mishaps?  Today, while I was making this wonderful dinner, I was cutting the onions and happen to cut right through the onion and into my thumb!  Ugh!  It was like slow motion!  I hate when that happens.  I have been pretty good lately on not burning or cutting myself.  I guess my lucky streak is over!  Well one thing is lucky for me, I was cutting slow and didn’t cut my thumb off.  Now I am sitting here with a band-aid on my thumb and boy is it hard to type!   But a cut on the thumb didn’t stop me from finishing my yummy dinner!  Today I have for you a healthy and pretty quick dinner, loaded with lots of flavor!

Pork Tenderloin withCaramelized Onions and Fennel

This is my pork medallion with caramelized onions and fennel!  Man oh man does this pork have some good flavor!  I swear I could eat a big bowl of caramelized onions and the fennel ohhh, the fennel is so good!  Instead of sauteing the veggies in oil or butter I used apple juice!  So perfect!  The onions and fennel were so soft and tender.  I couldn’t be more happier with how the vegetables turned out.

Pork Tenderloin withCaramelized Onions and Fennel


I seared the pork on all sides than placed it on a plate, covered it with foil, while I sauteed the vegetables.  I added the pork back to the skillet with the vegetables and covered it and steamed/cooked it for 7 minutes.  The pork was so tender, you almost didn’t need a knife to cut it.  The apple juice added so much more flavor and for an added touch, I threw in some rosemary.  My Husband doesn’t like rosemary, he always asks what are these needles in my dinner?   Every time I tell him rosemary, then he says to stop cooking with it.  Ummm, that’s not going to happen!  Sorry dear! He actually picked it out!

Pork Tenderloin with Caramelized Onions and Fennel

I had some fresh fennel leaves, but I kept them to the side and added them to my own plate.  I knew after the whole rosemary thing, my Husband wouldn’t like the fennel leaves.  The whole dish took maybe 25 minutes to make, which is nice for a week night meal and I have to tell you the smell, ohhh, the smell was amazing!  Reminded of when I was a kid and Mom was cooking dinner as we waited in anticipation to eat!!

      I never actually got around to the pound cake. I can only imagine how wonderful Paula Dean’s is, but I love my HUsband to much to serve him all that butter! He ended up requestingchocolate chips for the bazillionth time this year!

Happy Thursday! I can’t believe it’s 4th of Ju Happy Thursday! I can’t believe it’s 4th of July weekend already! I’m not sure what our plans are, but I’m sure cooking on the bbq will be happening. It should be a nice weekend. 
🇺🇸
I thought I would share with you the little corner in my dining room that I decorated for the 4th of July. If you do not have any patriotic decor, all you have to do is add a flag to it. 
🇺🇸
Do you have any plans for this holiday weekend?

Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we never eat our meals at the dining room table. We always eat at the kitchen counter. It’s convenient, easy to clean and it’s close to the food. Plus as a bonus, we get a nice view of the backyard.
💕
Just because you eat at the counter doesn’t mean you can’t create a pretty place setting. I like creating a place setting for my husband and I. It makes for a lovely meal and feels a little fancier.
💕
I was gifted this gorgeous flatware from @inoxartisans. This is the Chantilly Flatware 5 piece set. It’s handcrafted with 18/8 stainless steel. It has a nice weight to it, well made and it’s comfortable in your hand. The flatware is also dishwasher safe. 
💕
You can dress up the Chantilly Flatware with an elegant meal or use it for a more casual meal. If you are looking for new flatware INOX Artisans has a wide variety of styles that comes in gold, copper and silver.
💕
Do you eat at the dining room table or do you prefer the kitchen counter?

Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.
🦋
Do you get butterflies in your garden?

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room.

I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and boy does it feel so nice to have a clean room.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.
🐾
My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

My beautiful “Summer” cutout sign is from @krumpetshomedecor and it’s also the deal of the week. You get an extra 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link is in my bio.

What’s your favorite thing to do in the summer?
