The never-ending dinner decisions
Y'all...decision fatigue is a REAL THING. For me, it has grown exponentially after having our first child. Wow. Like can I have 5-6 business days without making any decisions, please?
The worst decision of them all (IMO) is what to make for dinner. Every. Single. Day. (And yes even as a food blogger and Southern cook - this part of life is just hard and I think we all can relate to that).
Yeah yeah, I know, meal plan. I used to be very good at that. And I am trying to find my grove again. But ya know, like I mentioned above - the whole having a kid thing - ya get it.
So right now, one of my personal goals is to find dinners we all love and that are quick and easy to do (bonus points if I write it down to remember for next week lol). And this pork tenderloin wrapped in bacon was a big hit.
It's simple, roasted in the oven for 35 minutes, full of flavor, and pairs well with asparagus, cheddar grits, or bacon mac and cheese. All you do is wrap some pieces of bacon around the pork tenderloin and roast in the oven at 400. Brush it with a simple 4 ingredients peach glaze, roast a little bit longer, and wha-laa ... dinner is ready! Let me show you how I like to do it in our home.
Welcome to my kitchen, let us make dinner together!
⭐️After testing this several times (and burning a batch 🤦♀️), I found it best to brush the glaze on midway through. This way it won't burn or caramelize too much because of the sugar in the peach preserves. And it allows the bacon to cook a bit too. It is a delicate balance of cooking the bacon/not over-caramelizing with the glaze/making sure the pork is tender and juicy and not dry. This method helps with that.
After the time is up, remove from the oven place the tenderloins on a cutting board, and slice. This way everyone can grab the amount they want! Serve immediately while warm - but this also makes delicious leftovers. If you're like my husband, you'll just eat it cold out of the fridge with your fingers. 😉
