Beef Tenderloin Roast
We are planning on roasting a whole beef tenderloin for carving with rolls & condiments. Is there a marinade to use for this?
What spices should we put on it?
--Frank
Hello Frank,
I don’t happen to have a recipe for whole beef tenderloin on Grandma’s Kitchen, but our sister site, EasyEverydayCooking.com has one: Tenderloin with Horseradish Cream. It’s seasoned sparingly before roasting, then finished with a tangy horseradish sauce. If you’d like to marinate the roast first, check out the marinade used in my Marinated Rib Roast. Or if you’d like a more piquant seasoning, use the mustard/garlic/pepper rub in my Peppered Beef Rib Roast. (If using those preseasonings, you should then follow the roasting directions in the Tenderloin with Horseradish Cream recipe.)

Hi Denise,
My goodness, I didn’t realize there are so many people allergic to cinnamon! I had this very question a couple of weeks ago, but about Cinnamon-less Apple Pie. The advice there holds true for pumpkin pie as well: You can substitute another spice (like nutmeg or allspice), or simply omit the cinnamon.
And if you haven't finalized your menu yet, you might want to browse all my Thanksgiving Recipes!My boyfriend is allergic to cinnamon and he wants pumpkin pie. What can I use instead of cinnamon?

QuestionHi Betty,
Would you happen to have the recipe for the old fashion cooked Date Roll Candy? My mother-in-law always made it at Christmas and I never did get that recipe. Everyone loved it and looked forward to her sweets. Thank you for your help.
