Pork Loin http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/roast-pork-loin-with-apples-recipe/index.html

Biscuits and Gravy
Bisquick Biscuit Mix
1 lb ground pork sausage
3 tbsp Pan drippings from meat (chops, bacon, sausage, ect) OR 3 tbsp butter/crisco
2 tbsp AP flour 
1 tsp onion salt
1/2 tsp garlic salt 
salt and pepper to taste
3 cups milk
Prepare biscuits according to Bisquick directions.
Brown and crumble sausage, remove from pan and set aside. Mix flour, onion and garlic salt in small bowl.

Scrap the pan and get the chucks up. Melt the butter in the pan on high heat, if necessary. Using a whisk, add the flour mix to the pan, turn down the heat to low and stir for 1 minute or until it smells nutty. Turn the heat back up to high and add the milk, constantly whisking. Boil until the gravy comes to the thickness you like (remember it will continue to thicken off the heat for a bit). Mix in sausage pieces. Taste, add salt and pepper as necessary. Serve over biscuits.

Chicken Fajitas
2 lb skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into strips
1 red bell pepper
1 green bell pepper
1 medium onion
2 garlic cloves, pressed
1/4 tsp cumin
Salt and pepper
Fajita size Flour tortillas
Toppings if desired: sour cream, guacamole, cheese, Pico De Gallo, lime juice
Sprinkle chicken with cumin, salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp veggie oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken, peppers, onion, and garlic until chicken is cooked through. Serve with warmed tortillas and toppings.
