    Maple Glazed Pork Tenderloin

    Maple-glazed-pork-tenderloin

    We are getting into that time of year where food is a heavily present. All around you. Some good options, but mostly it's cakes, cookies, eggnog, and your grandma's famous mashed potatoes with tons of cream and butter. It's definitely good in moderation but it's REALLY hard to stick to a healthy lifestyle when all this food is around you.

    I like to put up a strong mental barrier in my mind. Like, " I don't like donuts". It actually worked for me after telling myself enough times. Or " think about all the burpees you would have to do if I ate that". Doing 100 burpees just isn't worth eating junk. Unless it's absolutely worth it, don't indulge. How can you tell if it's worth it? Take a bite, if it isn't THE BEST taste ever then stop and throw the rest away. If it is, then finish it and don't let a single guilty thought penetrate your head because it was worth it.

    I like to keep clean foods that taste guilty around the house all year long to prevent temptation. This maple glazed pork tenderloin is no exception. It's SUPER easy to make and comes together quickly for those busy weeknights. It's also a great option if you still have family staying over and they might kill you if you say you are serving leftover turkey again.

    Not to mention it's a great clean protein option to serve with a great shredded brussel sprout salad! ( I will be adding a great brussel sprout and pomegranate salad later this week. STAY TUNED).

    And plus it makes your kitchen smell like Vermont. 😉

      Maple glazed anything as my vote! But especially with pork. I'm a total believer in moderation is key. No guilty thoughts should be had if you loved every single bite of your sweet treat 🙂

      I'm always down with my house smelling like Vermont. I need to make this asap. Nothing better than pork tenderloin. It's scrumptious, especially with maple glaze.

      I know!! I hate when I indulge and it doesn't even taste great! I'll take your advice next time and ask myself whether this tastes good enough to stray from my healthy habits! This pork tenderloin looks fantastic!

      You got all fancy and did a great job with the glaze too. Easy but elegant.

      It is hard! Luckily, I do most of the baking for get-together so I know the sweets are delicious and worth the calories. 😉 And this pork looks great! What a delicious combination of flavors.
