I swear I've been cooking at home. We have been trying to save money so I've been pulling things out of the freezer though lately and not making a lot of new meals. Yesterday I made a pork tenderloin on the grill. I will admit pork is probably my least favorite meat but it was super easy, and VERY tender. I will definitely make this again, although I might grill mine just a little longer b/c I like my meat dark. (Don't do it though if you want it to be moist and tender!)
I found this recipe on the blog: http://thegirlwhoateeverything.blogspot.com/ It's a new blog I came across recently and will admit, I LOVE a lot of the recipes she posts. This pork recipe apparently came from WW and is 171 calories for 3 oz meat. We all loved this one!

McCormick the helper! (BBQ pulled pork)
I decided to try one of the slow cooker seasoning packets that McCormick sells. So I got the BBQ Pulled Pork because 1. I've never tried it and 2. Pork is very inexpensive.
This isn't the lightest/healthiest meal, but it wasn't horrible on points either. And Brian and I both enjoyed this, and gave it 4 stars. In an effort not to use points, I served these on Arnold's Thins. I've decided that I like eating pork NOT on bread...unless it's super crusty french bread.
1 pkg McCormick Shredded BBQ Pork seasoning
3 lbs boneless pork shoulder roast, well-trimmed
1/2 c ketchup
1/2 c firmly packed light brown sugar
1/3 c cider vinegar
Place pork in slow cooker. Mix remaining ingredients together and pour over pork. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. Shred pork, using 2 forks. Return pork to slow cooker. Mix and heat w/sauce before serving.
We will definitely try this, as well as their other slow cooker packets again.
