I used a pork loin (not tenderloin) that I made into a flat piece by cutting down the middle then making a v cut on either side of the center cut and cutting parallel to the surface. The cooking time was a little longer, but suprisingly not that much longer ( I used a meat thermometor to determine when to remove.) I don't know if this was because I used a bigger piece of meat, but after the roast cooked and I cut into it, it was as if the cheese had dissappered, I guess it just melted into the meat? So keep that in mind and maybe add an extra layer of cheese. I only had celery seed so I used and that and a little regular table salt. I particulary liked the celery flavor. This makes such a lovely presentation as well as being a delicious piece of meat. -
I did this recipe a little bit differently but it turned out great! Instead of just cooking it in the oven, I browned the outside of the tenderloin (after I stuffed it) in olive oil before putting it in the oven at 375 degrees. I left it in for 25 minutes and it was delicious! This was a great recipe. -
This recipe was wonderful, my kids even ate it. I was having trouble finding it again in my TOH magazines so I was very happy to find it here. -
Holy Cow! This recipe was delicious! I didn't have provolone so used parmesan and also laid some whole green onions in too. It was so flavorful and moist-I will definitely make this again! Thanks Culinaryexplorer

This is so delicious!! The pork is so tender and juicy, and the ham and provolone add a nice taste to the pork. I have made this many times, and will continue to do so. Also, it is so easy!! It takes virtually no time to prepare. Very easy. It looks super fancy too!!

My name is Alicia and I am a wife and mother. I am a SAHM and WAHM. I enjoy trying new recipes and can't wait to get my son into it as well. I really enjoy baking most of all, but I find lately I am getting more into cooking as well. And I dabble in food photography so I love to get pics of the dishes I prepare.
I have found so many great recipes here and I just want to say Thank You! I try a new recipe almost every night. I have started submitting some I have around here and trying to create some of my own as well so if you try any of them I hope you will like them as much as I have enjoyed all of yours.
I worked as a Barista for a couple of years and I love to mix drinks up and try all sorts of flavor combinations.
I am thinking about trying to start up a cooking club in my area! I am really excited about it but I am waiting until my son is a bit older and we are in the process of selling our house so I wanna wait til that is done. It will be a meet once every couple weeks or once a month sort of thing and we will all get together and prepare new dishes planned around themes. I think it will be a lot of fun!
I often bore my friends talking about food so much lol. I just love to talk about recipes and the different foods out there.
Lately I have joined in on many zaar games and events and am having loads of fun! It keeps me rather busy just keeping up with the threads and making so many recipes lol. But I have found MANY wonderful recipes because of them.
Here is a pic of my son Perrin I took the this January.

This past year I have started my photography business. It has been a lot of fun, and I hope to continue to grow with it all. I am an on location natural light photographer specializing in children, families, seniors, newborns, etc. It is such a great thing to be able to do something you love and still be able to be a SAHM which is something that is very important to me. And who doesn't love to be their own boss??? lol
MY RATING SYSTEM:
5 stars ~ An incredibly delicious recipe and something I would make for company. Also the deciding factor from 4 to 5 stars is simplicity! If its super yummy AND simple to make it gets 5 stars by me!
4 stars ~ A great recipe and one I would make again. I may have made a couple small changes however to our tastes.
3 stars ~ A pretty good recipe, but not one that I would most likely make again only because I already have so many others to try, and our favorites to make again and again. Also probably needed to leave out a few too many things or add in a few of my own to get it to our tastes.
2 stars ~ Just not for us. We ate it, and tried it according to recipe directions, but the flavors or textures or some other aspect were just not something we enjoyed.
1 star ~ I wouldn't normally give a 1 star, but it would have to be a messed up recipe to get one. lol
