Pink Ritas and Lip Gloss

I posted last week in my Weight Watchers End of Week 5 post that I had preplanned out my next two week’s worth of meals. There was a few recipes that I hadn’t posted on here but were old favorites of mine. So I’m going to post the recipes as I make them. Unfortunately, the digital camera is still dead so pictures can’t be added right now. I’ll do a special thread for that later.

Tonight I made Citrus Garlic Pork Loin. It is very diet/weight watcher friendly and very easy to make. You basically make a marinade and let it soak for as long as possible, then pop it into an oven while you boil the marinade on the stove, then serve. It comes out to about 4 servings (6 if you stretch it out) and about 4-5 weight watcher points per serving. I’m going to try serving it with the asparagus I need to make and then tomorrow I will serve it with potatoes of some sort since I’m still dealing with a 5 pound bag and little experience dealing with potatoes other than baking them. I’m going to try steaming them tomorrow. Super excited. So here we go. I present to you:

Citrus Garlic Pork Loin

• 3 garlic cloves
• 1/2 cup lime juice
• 1/2 cup grapefruit juice (not cocktail)
• 1/2 cup ginger soy sauce
• 1/2 tsp hot sauce
• 1-2 pounds of pork tenderloin

1. Mince garlic and mix with lime juice, grapefruit juice, soy sauce, and hot sauce. Turn tenderloin in marinade and coat evenly.
2. Cover and refrigerate at least 1.5 hours or longer if possible
3. Drain pork and reserve juices. Roast pork 10 minutes at 450 degrees. Reduce heat to 325 degrees and cook until 145-150 degrees inside (~1 hour)
4. Boil marinade for about 3 minutes, reduce heat and simmer for 10 more minutes.

Serve sliced with marinade on top.

A serving size is about 3 oz of pork and 2 tbsp of sauce.
