Tina To Table

Here you’ll find everything I’m preparing in my kitchen - from veggies, to leftovers and pasta. I eat simply, and I cook for one, but love cooking for others. And no matter what, I always pause to plate pretty.

Most of my meals are often times the result of freestyle recipe free ingredient riffing and a trip to the vegetable market. Produce is my passion, and I hope that you won’t simply come here for a recipe - but that you’ll read, cook and create a new story of your own.

I believe there’s power in a stocked pantry and freezer. From traditional Italian dishes to alternative sweets, vegan and vegetarian swaps - there’s something for everyone.

Let this serve as inspiration and let’s eat!

Asian Marinated Pork Tenderloin with Pineapple Slaw

Admittedly, I’ve been preparing pork tenderloins every other week for dinner. And, yes, I have been using the pre-marinated ones to save a step since I’m cooking every single night, but this past week we made a bodacious Costco order and scored a fair price on two beautiful, un-marinated, pork tenderloins. The part about getting a plain old piece of meat or fish is that you can play with flavors and seasoning, the scary part about that is now the cook has a responsibility to come up with a marinade.

Bacon, Spinach, Caramelized Onion, Smoked Gouda Quiche

A few weeks ago I prepared a Butternut Squash, Caramelized Onion, Crispy Kale & Cheddar Quiche along with this Bacon, Spinach, Caramelized Onion, Smoked Gouda Quiche. I made two quiches at once because I knew I wanted to have a spare for a quick dinner that would require nothing more than a reheat and preparing a salad. You know, some days you just don’t feel like cooking — so having a quiche in the freezer can be clutch on those nights. Well, that and they’re great for breakfast reheats, lunches and when you get an unexpected meal guest.
