My family volunteers me to cook a lot! If they need something for a get together, or for their children to take to school, or for a sick friend or someone recovering from surgery, they always call me, which is fine, to cook a dinner for them.
Usually when you sign up for a dinner to provide, on sign up genius, or some other sign up program, everyone always puts Lasagna, Spaghetti, or another casserole (and nothing is wrong with that) but for me nothing is easier to make than a pork loin with potatoes and carrots. It is also a beautiful dinner to deliver and tastes so good.
Our friend, unfortunately had surgery this morning and will be out of commission for a while and I wanted to send something for them to have when they get home. Along with a delicious cake with my fudge icing, I made my go to Pork Loin today and wanted to share with you how easy it really is.
I use my cast iron skillet for everything, including this recipe. It stays on my stove top because of how often I use it. If you make a larger loin and want to cook the veggies at the same time, feel free, but I really like doing it this way.
