$2.49 per pound for fresh pork loin at Raley’s Nob Hill reposted by Ruth Paget

$2.49 per pound for fresh pork loin at Raley’s Nob Hill in Salinas, California for Raley’s Members reposted by Ruth Paget

I received a digital coupon today for Raley’s Nob Hill members for ogress pork loin roast sold at $2.49 per pound for Raley’s members.

You can sign up for the membership app online or apply in the store.

A good recipe for roast pork loin is made with prunes like they make it in France’s Touraine region.

I have posted a recipe for roast pork loin with prunes below from the Pardon Your French website:

https://www.pardonyourfrench.com/braised-pork-loin-with-prunes-porc-aux-pruneaux/

The recipe is easy to put together.  I like to drink Sauvignon Blanc with this dish to offset the sweetness in the prunes.

This is a nice recipe for a personal chef to know how to make.

Baked Salmon with Honey-Dill Sauce Made and Filmed by Florence Paget reposted by Ruth Paget

Baked Salmon with Honey-Dill Sauce Made and Filmed by Florence Paget reposted by Ruth Paget

My daughter Florence Paget filmed herself making baked salmon with honey-dill sauce for a quick weeknight dinner with green beans on the side.

Salmon actually swim down from Washington to Northern California, so we can easily find them at the store. 

If you bake salmon yourself, it is about half the price you would pay for a ready-to-bake fish at the store.  

Florence’s recipe is easy to put together, and is something my French mother-in-law would have liked.

Florence’s TikTok video of her recipe for baked salmon follows:
