Wednesday's Quick Fix Recipes for Stay-at-Home Moms
It's 4:00 PM, and you begin thinking, what am I going to cook for dinner that will be done in about an hour or so? Here's a great recipe to try!Wednesdays on this blog are devoted to "Wonderful Quick-Fix Recipes".
Roasted Pork Tenderloin and Vegetables
2 pork tenderloins (3/4 each)
2 pounds red potatoes, quartered
1 pound carrots, halved and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 medium onion, cut into wedges
3 T. olive oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Place the pork in a shallow roasting pan coated with nonstick spray. Arrange the potatoes, carrots, and onion around pork. Drizzle with oil. Combine salt and pepper and sprinkle over meat and vegetables. Bake, uncovered, at 450 degrees for 30-40 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees, stirring vegetables occasionally. Yield: 6 servings
TIP: Sam's Club, and many other food stores, sell pork tenderloin that is already seasoned, like "Honey Mustard Pork Tenderloin" or "BBQ Pork Tenderloin". This recipe works well with unseasoned pork tenderloin, but we also like to make it with differently seasoned pork tenderloin too.

It's 4:00...Dinner's at 5:30...Here's a great recipe for you to try!
Do you have this happen at your house? You know, it's 4:00 PM, and you begin thinking, what am I going to cook for dinner that will be done in about an hour or so? Well, I love to cook, and I still have this happen to me, which is why I've started a recipe box of recipes that are quick-to-fix, easy to make, and yummy to eat. Wednesdays on this blog will be devoted to "Wonderful Quick-Fix Recipes".
Honey-Lime Grilled Chicken
1/2 c. honey
1/3 c. soy sauce
1/4 c. lime juice (found right next to the lemon juice in the store)
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
In a ziplock bag, combine the first 3 ingredients; mix well. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Seal and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes. Drain and discard marinade. Grill chicken, uncovered, over medium heat for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the juices run clear. This chicken is excellent on ceasar salad as well. Just cut the chicken in strips and put on top of Ceasar salad. Then, put on some Kraft Creamy Ceasar dressing and some shredded Parmesan cheese, and presto! (4 servings)
TIP: If you don't already own a George Foreman grill, I highly suggest buying one or putting it on your Christmas list. GF grills cook meat more quickly and keep the juices in as well. For example, this recipe takes about half the above time on the GF grill. Most importantly, GF grills make is possible for moms to grill INSIDE the house!
