This Little Piggy Went To Market


 My local grocery store had pork loins on sale for $1.99 per pound.  I bought one and had it cut into boneless chops.  I bought another and cut it in half.  Since there are only 2 of us left at home now, it's a waste to make a whole one for us.  I now have enough chops for 5 meals, 1 pork loin for another night, and made one for dinner tonight.  We had enough leftover from dinner tonight that hubby and I can have lunch one day too.  So I have at least 8 meals out of 2 pork loins.  What a deal!  I mixed up some yummy marinade for the one we ate tonight and made mashed potatoes, speckled butter beans, and a fruit salad.  It was delish!

Pork Loin Marinade

2 pounds pork tenderloin
1/2 cup Soy sauce
1/4 cup Balsamic vinegar
1 Tb. garlic (minced)
1/4 cup brown sugar


Mix all of the marinade ingredients together and pour into a gallon size Ziploc bag.  Place the tenderloin in the bag with the marinade and place in the refrigerator and marinate for at least an hour, up to 24 hours.  I marinated mine for 2 hours.  Spray an 8” baking dish with Pam.  Place the marinated tenderloin in the dish and cover with foil.  Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour 40 minutes.  Cook longer for larger tenderloins.
