But instead of letting the winter blues completely take over....I'm trying to keep busy, plan fun events, and make some cozy meals in the kitchen :o)
Pork Tenderloin is one of my favorite things to cook because it is lean, extremely flavorful, and both me and my husband love it (win - win). This one in particular is exra amazing because I made it in the slow cooker (my bff). Throw everything into one pot, then 8 hours later you have an AMAZING melt in your mouth feast. Woo Hoo!
I served it with brown rice and roasted broccoli. You also could serve it with Quinoa.
