This was an instant hit at our house for a delicious dinner. This is an easy 30 minute meal that is sure to please the whole family. Weeknight meals are slowly becoming a specialty of mine as we navigate school, work and after school activity schedules. Since we have a busy weekly schedule I want fast, easy and delicious meals that I know my whole family will enjoy. Plus having time in the kitchen after a stressful workday can be therapeutic for the soul. Last night I decided to make a fast sauce for our pork tenderloin. The sauce was fragrant, tasty and not to mention ridiculously easy! It also gave some depth to the whole dish by stepping up the pork. I am happy to share this quick and easy recipe and as always, I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
