Herb Crusted Pork Loin...
I followed this recipe from Curtis Stone.

I did not follow to a tee. I forgot to go pick some fresh Rosemary from my parents and I did not have any fresh Thyme. So I mixed my dry Rosemary and Thyme and sprinkled on after I pan seared the loin.
*Hint, rub dried spices in hand before placing on food, brings them back to life!*
**I topped my pork with some of my homemade Pesto. I had some in the freezer, I believe its my collard green pesto**

Butternut Squash Risotto...
I followed this recipe from Allrecipes
http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/butternut-squash-risotto-2/Detail.aspx
I used a whole Butternut Squash
I also only had about 4 cups of chicken stock so I just added more white wine to the chicken stock.
Enjoy!
