Cranberry Marinated Pork Tenderloin

I once remember making a cranberry marinade for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that the whole family really liked and thought that the same marinade would work really well for pork too.  I decided to try tossing everything into the crock pot together and we ended up with such a delicious dinner!  


I love a quick and easy recipe that is packed with flavor!  And this  recipe is super simple.  To make the marinade you only need two ingredients:  French dressing & Cranberry sauce!


That means for the entire recipe I needed just 3 ingredients! 

Ingredients:
8 ounces French Dressing 
14 ounce can Whole berry cranberry sauce
Pork tenderloin ( I cooked up two but one works just fine)

In a small bowl I combined the French dressing and cranberry sauce.  I placed both of my pork tenderloins in my crock pot and poured the marinade over them. 



I cooked my tenderloins on low for the whole day (about 8 hours) and not only was the tenderloin nice and flavorful but it practically fell apart it was so tender. 

Once I sliced up the pork I did serve it with a bit of the juice from the crock pot drizzled over it.  



I really liked that added tartness from the random whole berries.

    This looks so delicious and I love that it's only three ingredients - my kind of meal for sure!

      It is! I don't know why I rarely think to use the same marinades with pork that I do with chicken; they tend to work very well on either.

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mainly through

Things That Make Me Laugh

I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my boys were youn

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a Dollar Store craft challenge.  I don't often participate in these challenges since I try to stay away from our local Dollar Stores; I find they can be quite dangerous for me!  I knew this was the perfect time to find some inexpensive holiday decorations though and I just LOVE how my wreath turned out!  I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing. Meet this month's co-hosts! Across the Blvd | Purple Hues & Me This Autoimmune Life | Our Unschooling Journey Domestic Deadline | Sew Crafty Crochet Stone Cottage Adventures | Sum of Their Stories | Two Chicks & a Mom I bought the candy cane wreath base and a few rolls of mesh (not knowing how many I'd need I bought waaay to many; I only ended up using one white roll and one red roll. Using some chenille stems I already had on hand I attached the mesh to the wreath base trying to alternate the white
