Grilled Asian Pork Tenderloin Salad
MMMMM- so yummy! My new favorite.
Dressing:
3 Tbsp rice vinegar
1 ½ tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp Pampered Chef Asian Seasoning
1 tsp sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
Pork:
2 Tbs Pampered Chef Asian Seasoning
1 Tbs vegetable oil
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound)
Salad:
5 cups salad greens
1 small red pepper, cut into 2 in strips
1 cup snow peas (cut up if wanted)
½ small red onion, sliced thin
1/3 cup snipped fresh cilantro
Garnish with 1/4 cup chopped dry roasted peanuts (optional)
To make dressing, mix all ingredients and refrigerate until ready to use.
For the pork- cut off silver skin and extra fat. If the tenderloin is especially thick, slice lengthwise in half so it will cook faster. Mix veg. oil and seasoning, then rub over entire surface of tenderloin. Heat a grill pan for 5 minutes on medium, then grill the tenderloin for 15-20 minutes (turning every five minutes or so) until done (thermometer reaches 155-165 degrees). Remove pork from pan and tent with foil for 5-10 minutes (to keep in juicy!).
While pork is cooking, prepare the salad portion. Carve pork into slices and serve on top of salad, then drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with peanuts.

Very Low Fat Strawberry Cream Trifle
(Yum- this is delicious! I would never have guessed it is almost fat free! It is also less than 250 calories per 1 cup serving.)
1/2 cup sliced almonds
12 ounces angel food cake
16 ounces fresh strawberries
1 container (16 oz) frozen sliced strawberries, thawed
1 lemon
3 cups Fat Free Strawberry Yogurt (Dannon Lite and Fit is the best!)
1 pkg (1 oz) fat free instant cheesecake pudding
8 ounce container lite (or fat free) frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
Toast almonds in microwave 1-2 minutes, stirring after each 30 second interval, until golden brown. Coursely chop almonds and set aside. Cut cake into 1 inch pieces and set aside. Hull and slice strawberries (can do large chunks). Combine fresh and frozen strawberries; mix well.
Juice lemon to measure 2 Tbsp juice. Whisk lemon juice, yogurt and pudding mix until smooth. Immediately fold in 1 cup of the whipped Topping.
To assemble trifle, place one-third of the cake into bottom of a large glass bowl. Top cake with one-third of the strawberry mixture, then one-half of the yogurt mixture- spreading evenly. Sprinkle with one-third of the almonds. Repeat layers one time. Top with remaining cake cubes and remaining strawberry mixture. Spread remaining whipped topping over top of trifle, forming a flat surface, then sprinkle with remaining almonds.

ewe gross is all I have to say, but not far from the truth.
LOL yes, not far off.
That's hilarious. I hope my minivan at least escapes the duct tape. As for the rest? Sounds awfully familiar.
Becky, I just read the post you left me a few days ago. I weaned Ally by leaving her with my mother in law over night while matt and I were out for our anniversary. Then when my milk would get too much for me I would only nurse once in the middle of the day since that was the easiest one to cut out. I gave her a bottle of milk about a half hour before bed and then made a new bedtime routine. I read three books and then sing her two songs, (always the same two songs) and then lay her down. The first few nights she cried about 2 minutes and then went to sleep. When she would wake up to nurse I would let her cry for a few minutes and then she went back to sleep. It was actually pretty easy for a 15 month old. I think leaving her overnight was the key, that helped alot and she has pretty much been sleeping through the night ever since. She still wakes up soemtimes but it only takes about 30 seconds of crying for her to go back to sleep.
OH, I didn't answer one of your questions. She was weaned from nursing, so I don't know if it works the same with a bottle. Ask Lisa Muir, I think she might have some suggestions.
This is so funny, and sadly fairly accurate! My mini v an days are over...the car staYS pretty clean nowdays. Take heart young mothers!!! This stage does not go on forever! I like the new look on your blog!
Ok that was so funny. By the end my whole family was watching and we had to explain to the kids that is why we "try" to be careful in our van cause we want to keep it nice but it always ends up being somewhat like that one (luckily nothing near as bad so far). Thanks for sharing the good laugh!!
