SWEET AND
SPICY PORK TENDERLOIN
Want an easy, tasty recipe for pork
tenderloin? This falls into that
bracket. I like simple recipes often because I am busy, and I am sure most people are. This past week I watched how our young sons live and work along with their sweeties and their lives are very busy as well. I am the grandmother to two Chihuahuas, Sunny and Stuart. They are quite the handful, but little darlings that creep into one's heart. I also enjoyed my grandson, Oliver. I was in the city for a week while Ian flew to Montana on business. I am now happy to be back on our mountain and slowly trying to get back into the groove again. We live at a higher altitude (less oxygen than at sea level, but cleaner, cooler air) and I'm usually tired the first day back.
Where to find the "honey"...apparently Super Walmart has this type of honey. It is also available online at the online shopping link below. There are two different kinds. One has maltitol and the other has xylitol. Here is the online link for the xylitol honey. Please remember xylitol is DEADLY for dogs and cats!
