This Pork Tenderloin with Pumpkin Pan Sauce is a a delicious and simple supper. Juicy pork tenderloin is rubbed with a rosemary spice mix and cooked to perfection. The reserved pan juices are transformed in to a beautiful pumpkin sauce to serve with the pork tenderloin.
This Italian Cobb Salad packs a serious flavor punch! There are a few traditional Cobb ingredients in this recipe (such as hard boiled eggs and tomatoes). But every other ingredient gets an Italian twist: the chicken is marinated in an herby red wine vinaigrette. The bacon is made from prosciutto. The cheese is a crunchy Grana Padano. Marinated artichokes, olives, and pickled peppers also transform this classic in to an updated, healthy, and impressive salad!
