Easy Pork Tenderloin to die for.

Buy a package of pork tenderloin. I recommend the packages at Costco.They come with four tenderloins for about $20.00. This amount of pork will easily feed two small families.

Marinade it with Yoshida's sauce (also available at Costco) overnight.

Grill it on the bbq on medium - low heat turning frequently for about 30 min. or until center is fully cooked.

Slice the tenderloin and drizzle a little bit of Mr. Yoshida's sauce over the pork right before serving. We just pour some more sauce into a bowl and microwave it for 15 seconds or so to make it hot and then drizzle it over the pork.

My kids LOVE this dish, and you only need TWO ingredients!

Lori's Yummy Chicken

Boneless skinless chicken breasts (as many as you need)
Put the chicken on a pan in a single layer (do not stack). Salt and pepper chicken. Put slices of pre-sliced Swiss cheese on top of the chicken. Make cream of chicken mix. For every 1 can of cream of chicken, add 1/3 can of water. So, for 3 cans of cream of chicken soup, add 1 full can of water. Pour the mixture over the cheese. Bake at 350 for 30 min. Put foil over the the pan (after 30 min.) so the cheese doesn't burn. Finish cooking at 325 for another hour. Use the sauce over rice or mashed potatoes.
