Maple and Mustard are Marvelous

In my view, Valentine's Day is a great excuse to prepare a sinfully delicious meal that would not typically be featured in the regular menu of a poor and lowly college student such as myself. Honestly, I would probably hold this view regardless of whether or not I had a significant other to share it with, but sitting down to dinner with two plates on the table is much more comforting than eating alone.

This year Ben Affleck and I went all out. Maple and mustard glazed pork roast was the feature of our Valentine's menu board, accompanied by a savory selection of roasted vegetables. The photos do not do the best job of showcasing the deliciousness of the meal, but I was too ravenous to take the time and extra effort to snap high quality photos.

Everything was roasted in the oven at 350 degrees. The carrots were simply tossed in olive oil, the potatoes were tossed in olive oil, herbs de provence, italian seasoning and parmesan cheese, and the recipe for the pork was extremely easy. Feast your eyes.


I used whole grain mustard to add some texture

Those green lookin' things are the potato wedges.
They may be a funny color but  they sure were tasty
