Pork Tenderloin
The Other White Meat!

Pork Tenderloin, the other white meat, is a favorite of Chris.

Pork is a meat that can have a number of different outcomes when cooked. However, like beef,there are many different cuts that will open your eyes (and taste buds), where you will say, "hey, I like this."

This tenderloin meal is by far, very easy and a definite comfort food delight.

Tenderloin can be purchased in the market and normally come in a package of 2 tenderloins. Usually they are never frozen however they can be frozen for later use.

We use fresh vegetables with this meal as this brings out the flavors of all the ingredients more so than when using canned or frozen vegetables.

Here is what you will need...
