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.

Lillian is a beautful girl!
Thanks for the recipes, they sound delicious. I don't know if you ever got to try Lisa Muirs absolutely fabulous lemon bars but I made them for Matt's sweet tooth tonight. Ohhh, so good although mine do not do Lisa's justice, still very good!
i love the ones where she is touching her cheeks. you have such beautiful girls! we'll have to set them up when they are in collage with my boys!
You are right - they are wonderfully beautiful! You have the most photogenic kids. :) You have a very talented friend as well! I love how the green bow around her waist pulls in the green from the leaves in the background. Just incredible! Lillian is so expressive; I can't imagine you have even one picture of her (or of Cynthia or Marcus) that is not absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
She's a doll! I love the pictures. What a great photographer!
The pictures are very adorable. I need to get someone that knows photography to do some cute outdoor shots of my girls. Thanks for your comment. It's other mom's random thoughts I thrive on as well. I always get in the trap of it's just me having a hard time keeping it together, but really it's all moms and I find strength in knowing I'm not alone. Keep on trucking, and some day our husbands will come back to us after they get through residency and hunting season : )
Natalie is so talented. Lillian is so cute. She has (all your kids do) the most beautiful blue eyes and long eyelashes, I'm jealous! I want to try your caramel dip, but scared too. I know it will be me who eats most of it. Help! I'm starting to gain some weight back. I think of how hard I worked to get that baby weight off and I don't want to gain it back. I'm impressed you're doing so well! I think i'm going to look into treadmills. I just have to use it once I have it!
A wonderful model and a wonderful photographer made a masterpiece! All of them are absolutely beautiful!
Those pictures are so adorable! Natalie did such a great job! Lillian is so cute. So photogenic! I love the "fall" pictures.
Becky she is sooooo cute!! the pictures are great
wow! Those are adorable! and of course I love the ones in the polka dot dress cuase I picked it out! haha I am glad you are using it! She looks so grown up and so dang cute!!!!!
Oh my goodness! SHe's gorgeous. I'm quite partial, considering she still looks like Asher's twin sister. Lovely pics.
