Just because I am not a vegetarian doesn't mean I don't eat healthy. I am a carnivore, and I love it. Lean is the way to go, in moderation. I love pork. My favorite cut is the tenderloin. I usually roast this with vegetables. Pork is very nutritious. Some studies even show that pork aided in weight loss because of the protein in the diet.
My favorite recipe for Roasted Pork Tenderloin:
I usually make this in a Reynolds Oven Bag, keeps it moist.
- 2 or 3 Pork tenderloins
- Fresh ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups of apple juice
- 3 tablespoons dried rosemary
- 4 tablespoons of chopped garlic (I use Polaner, in a jar.)
- 1/3 cup of Dijon mustard (if you like)
Combine all Ingredients in the Reynolds oven bag, let marinate in refrigerator for a few hours. Then place in oven to cook for about 1 hour at 350F.
I like to serve this with Italian seasoned roasted red potatoes, and steamed carrots. Here is a quick and easy recipe for the potatoes;
5lb bag of Red Potatoes, washed and diced
A little olive oil to coat potatoes
2 packets of Good Season Italian Dressing mix
Fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
Combine all ingredients and bake on cookie sheet for about 45 minutes.
It is really delicious and filling, make it with any sides that you like. If you want to go a little more low carb, remove the potatoes and add a salad. Enjoy!

Hello! I baked a whole, 10-lb. pork loin the way you did, in a cooking bag. I had extra meet for leftovers. My mother says the potatoes taste better cooked with the flavor of the meat. I invited my mother over to eat with the rest of my family. I even did a Chacha search to help me with this meal. Lyon in the Kitchen, on the FIT channel, prepared a meal with pork loin. I got the extra times for his show with a SWAG on Chacha. Lyon also recommends the fresh food from farm markets. I am big on the food at a local farm market, in Indianapolis.
