Spicy Pork Tenderloin & Flavor Full Sides

by Alli

My husband is a meat and potatoes man. Whenever I do meatless Mondays, he tries to be such a trooper. But when you’ve been married as long as I have, you can read your spouse’s mind without him saying a single word.

My husband hated veggies when he was growing up and when we got married I made it my mission in life to change his mind. (I’m such a veggie lover!)  I was always coming up with new ways to serve veggies and throughout all my hits and misses, I finally realized that he likes veggies that are packed full of bold, unexpected flavor.

On weekdays, I try to plan my menus around good, nutritious foods that don’t require a lot of time in the kitchen. Oh, who am I kidding? I do the same on weekends, too. Since my entire family enjoys a good pork tenderloin, my Spicy Pork Tenderloin & Flavor Full Sides has been promoted to my weekly meal rotation.

Spicy Pork Tenderloin & Birds Eye® Flavor Full Sides

Once I prep my pork tenderloin, I stick it in the oven, set the timer and forget about it. A few minutes before it’s done, I cook my 2 sides – Birds Eye® Flavor Full Buffalo Cauliflower and Sour Cream and Onions Potatoes – in the microwave according to the directions on the packaging.
