I need to give huge THANK YOU today to two bloggers. First Dinner By Susan (click for link to blog) for mentioning one of my posts “New Year Blues” (click for link to blog post). I needed to read this post today. Purposefully, was my word and I need to remember that as things are starting to spin slowly out of control in our world. The second is to Dagne at The Yankee Frugalist (click for link to blog). She gave me this recipe over a month ago and I was holding on to it until I had some leftover pork loin. Last night we made the dish and it was great!

Verdict:

I followed her recipe pretty much exactly. My kids were watching me the whole time. They LOVE sauerkraut but they saw me put cream in the dish and serving it over mashed potatoes? They thought I was nuts. They both loved it and both leftover lunch servings were quickly claimed! That in our house is the sign of a hit.

Rinsing the sauerkraut takes most of the vinegar taste out of the dish so most will not even know it is sauerkraut. I didn’t rinse mine as fully leaving just a hint of vinegar and it was really yummy!

I served this with green beans and a green side salad.
