It's been a difficult week...but Praise God, our Dad is home and doing better...
We've been eating take out and are ready for hearty food.
Doesn't this look good?... Balsamic grilled Rosemary Pork Tenderloin ...
Ingredients:
4 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons crushed garlic
3 Tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
3 Tablespoons chopped green onions
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 Tablespoon cracked black pepper
1 Tablespoon sea salt
2 pounds pork tenderloinDirections:
1. Combine marinade ingredients in a large zip baggie. Add tenderloin and massage to work marinade into meat. Refrigerate in marinade for at least 6 hours.
2. When ready to grill, take zip bag out of refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before grilling. Preheat grill to medium-high. When ready to grill, oil the grate and wipe down to remove any residue so grates are clean. Remove pork from marinade and arrange on grill. Brown on all sides and cook through (firm to the touch), 8 to 12 minutes total, or until internal temperature in center reaches 150°F.
3. Remove tenderloin from grill and allow to rest 5 minutes before slicing.

Mona-
I am so happy that your Dad is at home. I know that you and your family are so tired. Try to relax for a while.

Yum! Definitely trying this one !!! So glad your daddy is doing better. Keeping your family in my prayers!!!
So, so relived to hear your Dad is home and doing better. I've thought about all of you this week and was hoping you would let us know how things were going. Pork with rosemary is one of my favorites and I'm glad you like my pineapple salsa with it. Pork and pineapple are a winning combination of flavors. Hope all of you will spend the weekend relaxing and breathing a sigh of relief.

So glad your dad is back home. Such a yummy looking recipe, perfect for Oscar watching tonight! Hope you have a restful day.

Mona, I am relieved for you that your Dad is home. You've had a few family health challenges lately!
Thanks for the recipes- just what I am looking for today. We just returned from a Puerto Rico trip and I look forward to skipping the rice and beans for a day or two!
Looks delish! Glad to hear your dad is fine and home. All the very best.

Sally and I are glad to hear your Dad is doing better and is home. We've had you all in our thoughts. Tonight, our comfort food is left over lasagna and a simple fresh salad. (It's always better the second day...)
I sure wish we were just down the street from you. Sally and I would be raiding your shop for our show house vignette...
Hope this week brings you smooth sailing.
Cheers,
John
