Farm Family Fun
Is anyone feeling like it's a total #netflixandchill kind of day? Maybe it's just me, but I'm feeling like popping this balsamic pork tenderloin into the oven, letting it do it's thing, and watching New Girl episodes until I can't handle Schmidt's insane comments anymore. I'm feeling like such a home-body today... I know I need to go to the store, pick up some groceries, gets some supplies at Michael's for an upcoming DIY post, maybe hit up target to make sure I have any and all fall related $1-spot gets, and I know I need to get out of bed to do all of that, but I just can't muster the energy. I'm sure my lack of energy stems from a week and a half of insane fun with my family...
We started last weekend at the farm, then I headed up to San Antonio to vote, and basically thought it would be best to never leave!
When I got back from San Antonio I was immediately EXHAUSTED from all of the fun family time, and I was so thankful I had leftovers of my balsamic pork tenderloin in the freezer to pop in the microwave and nosh on for dinner. This is a great recipe to double and freeze into personal meals to take for lunch/pop in the micro for a dinner for one.
