Many of us are counting down the days until Christmas. If you'll be having family or friends staying with you in the days before or after, you're probably stressing even more. We all strive to have the perfect Christmas Eve and Christmas Day meals. But, when you're entertaining guests the days before, you want to be able to serve a tasty, healthy dinner, preferably without a lot of dishes or prep work. That's why I love this pork tenderloin with roasted vegetables recipe. There are just a few minutes of prep and everything cooks together for an all-in-one hearty and flavorful meal.
A good ham is usually seen on Easter, sometimes Thanksgiving, and Christmas. I personally love having a big ham several times a year because they are affordable, easy to make, and you can do a ton with the leftovers. I originally made this ham with brown sugar glaze back during Easter. Pretty much every year we'll have a nice spiral ham dinner with colcannon and homemade yeast rolls. But, I think ham is awesome enough to have year round instead of just at Easter and the holidays. It's even wonderful grilled using this Brown Sugar Ham Glaze recipe!
I'm so happy that it's starting to actually feel like fall outside. It's honestly kind of weird to enjoy some of my favorite fall flavors while it's still warm enough to wear shorts and flip flops outside. Warm spices and pumpkin are some of the flavors at the top of my list this time of year, but right now I'm really loving all things apple. I'm honestly not a huge fan of having a lot of fruit flavor added into meat dishes, but I have always really enjoyed having apples with pork, such as applesauce or apples in the stuffing.
So, when Smithfield asked if I would try their All Natural Pork, I couldn't resist buying some of their beautiful pork tenderloins that I saw when I was at Walmart to pair with some apple flavor. I wanted a really simple recipe for the weeknights, but that had a nice flavor without being overly fruity or sweet. As such, I decided on this Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Balsamic Apple Butter Glaze Recipe.
