Tsatsiki pork with asian ginger plum rice and vegetables

My inspiration to start Wildtree was born at the first party I went to in December. The impulse to make a blog of all the recipes I create probably came from the movie "Julie and Julia". When it comes to cooking, I have never been the overly excited chef. I have a hard time coming up with new ideas. I was always good with the basic meals, usually including some sort of pasta, but when I made the decision to start eating healthier, I had to come up with a better, more exciting plan.
The idea to make a record of all the recipes I come up with has gotten me excited about turning a new leaf. A way to force me to think of something new, delicious, and healthy.
Tonight was one of those nights where I was thawing out and marinating some pork loins, and trying to figure out what the hell I was going to make with it. I had some rice, and things I had bought to make a very large salad. The nights where there is no real plan, are usually the best nights... whether we are talking about cooking or not!

What you need for this recipe:
1-2lb pork loin
Wildtree Tsatsiki seasoning
All natural Wildtree grapeseed oil
Long grain white rice
Portabella mushrooms, chopped
Large bag of spinach
One bag carrot sticks
1 Cucumber
1 Lemon
Wildtree Asian Ginger Plum Dressing

Marinate the pork in Tsatsiki seasoning and some grapeseed oil for 12 hours.
Start to cook the rice. Use 1 1/2 cups of water per each cup of rice. (Use 1-2 cups of rice)
After about 5 minutes, use some grapeseed oil in the bottom of a large frying pan. Cook the pork in the frying pan on medium low. Use the juice from the lemon to squeeze onto the pork while it's cooking.
When pork and rice are finished, take pork off to rest. Drain juices from frying pan, and use the same pan to cook the spinach, mushrooms, carrot sticks, and cucumber. Once the spinach is wilted and everything has been cooked, add rice to the pan. When everything is blended, add the Asian Ginger Plum dressing to the mixture. Add pork on top or cut up and mix in. Bon Appetit!!

Overwhelmed!!

I am awaiting my kit's shipping and I am completing overwhelmed by the business aspect of this Wildtree stuff. I am trying to get myself together enough to be able to succeed in this business. The beginning seems to be such a huge commitment but I really want this. I am going to make this happen!! I have to.

... More to follow by the overwhelmed and helpless.
