I've been trying out some new recipes that I've found online. Most of the time, I don't have much luck with them but here lately, I've found some great ones. I'll try and share a few each day but will leave you with the one we had tonight that was FABULOUS! It's a great healthy recipe and easy to make. Daniel loved it and Charlie even ate it! I couldn't find a turkey tenderloin so I used pork. It took much longer in the broiler than what the recipe calls for. Also, I left out the cilantro and used apple cider vinegar instead of the red wine vinegar. It's just what I had. Enjoy!
