island pork tenderloins with side dishes
No Image
This is one of my all time favorites. I'm not sure where I got it but I'm glad I saved it! It might seem a little involved but it's worth the effort! I put the directions in order that makes the meal come together. You can make this in an order you wish as long as the pork is made last. I like to drink Mojitos with this meal!
