Pomegranate Ginger Glazed Pork Tenderloin and Carrots from HeatherChristo.com

Hi guys! Hope you had a great weekend, we did- complete with the most indulgent Sunday ever. If you watched me on insta-stories you would have seen a first class binge taking place. We have kind of been doing a one-meal Sunday type of situation where we wait and eat one big meal while we watch the Seahawks mid-day and then that’s about it. So Pete made GF cauliflower macaroni and cheese with goat cheese for everyone else that was over (of course I was the only one who couldn’t eat it since the girls do fine with some occasional goat cheese) so I made and ate an overboard amount of this salad with grilled chicken. Also, tater tots. Also, I made chocolate chips banana bread from Pure Delicious and these cookies with coconut, cranberries, sour cherries and macadamia nuts added to them. I ate too many of them in case you were wondering.

I also announced that a week from today (the 16th) Pete and I starting a Whole30- let me know if you are interested and I will journal it again!

I would start tomorrow but I am stage momming for Coco while she films a movie in Eastern Washington on Monday (who IS she!?) and then Pete and I are going to be in New York for a few days. But when I get back I am going to be super focused and get myself together Whole30 style!

Pomegranate Ginger Glazed Pork Tenderloin and Carrots from HeatherChristo.comOk- enough babbling about my over-eating of cookies, lets talk about this beautiful Fall dish that is just what you need for this weeks dinner! It is easy enough for a Monday night, but elegant and special enough to serve at a dinner party! I like it with these Whipped Sweet Potatoes or with Crispy Ginger Rice. And the COLOR??!!! So pretty and so delicious- a winning combo!
