FC Day 21 – Maple Balsamic Glazed Pork Tenderloin

May 5, 2011 by Jaida Leave a Comment

It’s no secret that I love Balsamic vinegar. I could practically drink it out of the bottle. I don’t, but I could. So, any recipe that calls for a balsamic glaze, I am drawn to. And the sweetness of the maple mixed with it, makes it all the more appealing. This Southern Food recipe is one I go back to time and again, and it never lets me down.

I will admit, however, that while making the sides (mashed potatoes, in particular) I must have thought I needed to liven things up in the kitchen, and I practically sliced one of my fingers clean off!! Ok, so that’s a slight exaggeration, but I did cut a finger pretty dang good. I am ok, no worries, but wow did it hurt!! Damn slippery potatoes! Despite my mishap, I finished cooking and it made a beautiful meal…which I forgot to photograph for you. I apologize. But I did get a picture of the finished pork in the skillet. That will have to do this time.

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
