Maple Bacon Wrapped Chicken with Basil

This is a recipe that I totally invented and I don’t remember exactly what I made it with, though I do remember that it was damn tasty. It is basically a piece of chicken with a half-leaf of basil wrapped in bacon and skewered with a toothpick. It was coated with brown sugar, maple syrup and either garlic or shallots (don’t remember exactly).

 

Rosemary Roasted Pork Tenderloin

A pork tenderloin, from Oslen Farms, cooked on top of crushed garlic and rosemary topped with two strips of bacon and rubbed in Dijon mustard, rosemary and garlic. On the side had some sun chokes layered with cheese. There was also some sliced zucchini with spices. This was the most successful pork tenderloin I have ever cooked. It was juicy and tender. This was one of the times that I actually thought the dish came out looking and tasting as good as it might from a high end restaurant.
