spicy pork tenderloin w/ ginger-maple sauce, diet soda cake take 2

well this one was a WINNER! we both absolutely loved this recipe & didn't want to stop eating it!! the new flavor was a fantastic blend of spicy & sweet. this was my first pork tenderloin and it came out really well, nice outside crust with a moist center. the sauce was fantastic (i didn't use the 1 cup of onions b/c of sweetie's aversion, but i did mince up a few tablespoons - they cooked down and she couldn't tell).

this is definitely going to be a dinner party dish for friends and family. i do think sweetie is starting to change her mind about pork, sorry A.

i also made a 9x13 devils food cake w/ a diet soda for a sweet treat this week. i think i prefer this recipe as a cake, instead of the mini cupcakes. i left half of it unfrosted, so i won't feel that guilty about having a sweet piece. sweetie will enjoy the full frosted side, derby has started again and the workout she gets each week allow her to indulge. :)

yum yum
