Fifty-Two Dinners

One new recipe a week for a year. That was the original goal set as a New Year's resolution way back in 2009.

It didn't happen. Nor did it happen in the following years.

But I have continued posting and striving to try one new recipe a week. Some months it happens. Some months it doesn't.

And along the way I've picked up readers from across the country who occasionally pop in to see what's cooking.

Clearly there are better food blogs than mine.

But if you're looking for quick, easy, and healthy with a dash of humor... I'm glad to share what I can.

Pork Tenderloin Marinade

I'm on a roll with new recipes!

This one is so easy and simple to do, you must try it out before grilling season ends.

And on a side note- I'm so glad that a friend recommended pork tenderloin instead of pork chops.  The tenderloin is SO much jucier, more tender, and more delicious than pork chops.  Thanks Cathi!

INGREDIENTS

1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup cherry cola
3 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. minced onion
1 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. minced garlic

DIRECTIONS

Mix together in a zip lock bag.  Add pork.  

Marinate.  


Grill. 

Eat.

Send me thank-you letters for making you fall in love with pork.

VERDICT

I don't know why this recipe requires cherry coke, honestly for only 1/4 cup it's a big waste.  And I end up drinking the rest of the 20-oz bottle, which is definitely not in line with my goal of eating healthy and cutting out the junk food.

Regardless, this recipe is great.  Better than great.  It was a huge hit with the husband and the kids.  And if you can get it past those picky eaters, you know you have a hit.
