Cider Braised Pork Tenderloin

with sauteed apples and roasted potatoes

My mother in law is the inspiration for this post. Not very confident in the kitchen, she tends to stick with a simple repertoire. She is recently making an effort to try new foods and cook meals completely out of her comfort zone. She says I am her inspiration, but I attribute all the success to her willingness to try. Encouraged by her new found kitchen courage, I keep an eye out for the simple recipes I prepare to pass along. Everyone can use another quick weeknight meal to add to the rotation, right?

For weeknight meals, I really try to cook out of my pantry or at least plan my meals to limit daily trips to the grocery store (yes, I am one of those people who used to visit the market every day). Luckily I have wised up and found ways to still create fresh, flavorful meals without buying my meats and produce each day. Here’s a quick and easy fall classic…mostly made from ingredients I had on hand.
