I Actually Made Dinner Tonight
I know, don’t faint but I did cook tonight. I made pork tenderloin. I made a sauce from honey, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce and olive oil. It actually called for sesame oil but I didn’t have any.
Put the tenderloins in a 450 degree oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and coat with the sauce. Return to a 350 degree oven for another 45-60 minutes.
Mine were a little over cooked. The sugars in the sauce gave the meat a real crunchy texture. It was still good.
We had leftover sides, macaroni and cheese and green beans. Although with tonight’s activities, we all did not eat together.
I think tomorrow will be pasta and garlic bread. Of course, I have two that don’t like sauce so alterations will have to be made. The garlic bread will instantly disappear.
Since the oven will be hot, maybe I’ll cook some of the cookie dough and we’ll have nice, warm chocolate chip cookies after dinner. MMMMM, I can taste them already.
