Vegetable Tian

Woops! Sorry for the unplanned hiatus. This early summer heat has me in a bit of a rut, cooking the same-old things over and over. I do have a decent stockpile of photos though so there are more recipes to come!

To make up for my break, I'm sharing this great side-dish from Ina. (I like to think the Barefoot Contessa and I are on a first-name basis) This is probably one of my very favorite side dishes, actually. It is time consuming but it is totally worth it and also relatively healthy. Great dish for when you're grilling your meat since you can prepare this, get it in the oven, then turn your attention to the grill. All of these veggies are in season during the summer too which makes it even tastier. Hope you enjoy!

Chili-Rubbed Pork Tenderloin

Pork Tenderloin is a nice break from chicken while still being a healthy protein. I've tried various marinades and sauces but this one seemed to be a big hit with Chris. There is no marinating either which makes it super fast and easy. I got the recipe from The Bitten Word blog. I love to do leftover sandwiches with the tenderloin sliced thin and either bbq sauce and cheddar cheese, or cilantro mayo and jack cheese. Hope you enjoy this as much as we did.
