Tonia’s Notes

I was visiting with a friend recently about food, which is one of my favorite conversationtopics as you can imagine, and discovered that both she and her husband tried to focus their meals around protein.

Since her husband works full-time and she is going to school for her nursing degree, they don’t have a lot of leisure time to prepare meals. I asked her what some of her favorite meals were.

She told me that they use theircrockpota lot, especially in the colder months. During grilling season, one of their go-to meals is pork tenderloin.

My friend said that they cut thepork tenderloin into slices (aka pork medallions) before grilling it. That way, they only take a couple of minutes to cook!
