Well, tonight I made her "Sweet and Fiery Pork Tenderloin" (http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/01/sweet-and-fiery-pork-tenderloin-with.html#more) and one of her light side dishes (http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/04/asian-cabbage-mango-slaw.html). I feel like a pre-marinated pork tenderloin is always my "go-to" for when I am bored with choosing what to cook that week and easy. I'll be honest and say most of the time I am not thrilled with the results. I guess you get what you give...no effort = not a good result! Tonight I wanted something a little different.
My plate looked a bit different than hers (and I was in a hurry to take a picture before I cleaned my plate). I will definitely make the pork and mango salsa again and probably leave off the cabbage slaw. Warning: this dish is hot (spicy, not temperature)
Along with this I made my broccoli with brown butter. Here's what I used for the broccoli:
4 broccoli crowns
1/3 stick butter
1/2 of a lemon, juiced
Steam the broccoli in about 1/2 inch of water for a few minutes. Meanwhile heat the butter on medium until it is all melted and starts to turn brown. Once you see the light brown color remove it from the heat and squeeze in the lemon juice. Drain the broccoli and place in a bowl. Pour the butter/lemon juice over it and proceed to DEVOUR the bowl! :-P
