Monday, March 29

Tonight's meal includes:

Honey Sesame Pork Tenderloin (you can leave out the seeds if you want)
Mashed Potatoes
Cold Pea Salad (I had to try it, don't feel bad if you just toss it)
Corn on the Cob
Fruit Salad
Rolls
Mint Oreo Dessert

Honey Sesame Pork Tenderloin

1 lb pork tenderloin

Marinade:
1/2 c. soy sauce2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dry ginger
1 TBSP sesame oil

Glaze:
1/4 c. honey
2 TBSP brown sugar
4 TBSP sesame seeds

Combine marinade ingredients in a large Ziplock bag; add pork. Marinate for 2 hours at room temperature or overnight in refrigerator. Remove from marinade. Mix honey and brown sugar together in a shallow plate. Pour sesame seeds on a separate plate. Roll pork well in honey mixture, then roll in sesame seeds (or don't roll in sesame seeds). Bake in shallow pan at 375* for ~30 minutes (until temperature reaches 155-160*)

Mashed potatoes just need to be heated. Use the microwave if you like.
