Pork Tenderloin with Crimini Mushrooms and Port Sauce

This pork tenderloin is easily roasted and served with a dreamy crimini mushroom and port sauce.

Why is it that I never quite feel motivated to keep with my resolutions every January to stay healthy and exercise? Probably because it is cold and I have a rotation of kids home sick for a variety of ailments. This year was no different. Even worse as I was home sick with a variety of ailments.

My allergies were on overdrive with our spring-like winter and then there was that stomach bug. When I was healthy, I had kids home sick with a cold or another stomach bug. All these road blocks discourage me and my motivation to take care of me.

I am eating well – lots of veggies. I have been good about steering away from evil pasta and empty carbs. I have been enjoying brown rice and quinoa regularly.

I love eating eggs with mushrooms. Even baked an egg in a portobello mushroom. I stuffed mushrooms with quinoa. I sautéed mushrooms in port (don’t worry, Corrine, it wasn’t very much) for this pork tenderloin. And I enjoyed plenty of mushroom leftovers.

I’m working on typing up the recipes for the above dishes. For now, I offer you my recipe for the Pork Tenderloin with Crimini Mushrooms and Port Sauce.
