Thai Honey Peanut Chicken

Another recipe that immediately sparked my interest just from title... I've been Thai obsessed as of late. Nothing could be bad about the perfect melody of sweet/salty/spicy. I'm usually a little intimidated to try to make Thai at home, usually because of the addition of unfamiliar ingredients in most recipes (i.e. fish sauce), but this recipe sounded delicious and didn't have any weird accompaniments so I knew I had to try it. Winner, winner, Thai chicken dinner... delectable. I served this chicken over Thai jasmine rice topped with chopped scallions and a side of steamed green beans. Saveur!

Pork Tenderloin with Honey Mustard Sauce

Another addition to my endless search for satisfying, lean protein. I've had pork tenderloin many times, but this is actually the first time I've made it myself. I was pleased with the results. You can usually find them on sale for fairly reasonable. This one I got from Trader Joe's, $5 for a one pound tenderloin, pretty good I think. I had all the rest of the ingredients on hand, very convenient. Don't frown on the pig, you might surprise yourself... "PORK... the OTHER white meat!"
