Tangy Pork Tenderloin – Diet Friendly

This would work beautifully wrapped in foil and barbecued too!

You’ll need:

  • 1 lb tenderloin
  • 1 cup whole cranberries, fresh or frozen
  • 1/4 c. chopped onion (approx.)
  • 4 g. splenda
  • 1/4 c. water

It couldn’t be easier! Check it out:

  1. Combine all ingredients except the tenderloin, and stir until sweetener is dissolved.
  2. Place tenderloin in oven-safe dish and bake at 350° or barbecue meat and simmer the sauce over low heat.
  3. Cook until internal temperature reaches 160 – approx 20 minutes for the overn, and less for the BBQ.

And, friends, I SWEAR I took pictures.  I remember taking pictures, because the juice stained the meat a funny pink color!  But alas, they were eaten by the mean picture-eaters.   But in my searching I found this:

Now you’re laughing so hard you won’t even notice the missing pic.  Plus, that there’s some good advice!

Weight Watchers Points:  4oz meat, and 1/4 cup sauce = 4pts.

Diet Friendly Pulled BBQ Chicken

So I’ve been a little adventurous this week with a new ingredient – White Wine Vinegar.  And I’ve had to be a little less kitchen-averse on this diet.  You just can’t pull out a bottle of BBQ sauce and expect to loose weight.  And this recipe?  I’ll never use a bottle of BBQ sauce again – it is THAT good!  If you try this with regular vinegar, let mek now how it works.

Homemade Special BBQ Sauce

  • 2 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp white wine vinegar
  • 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
  • 4 grams Splenda (or 2 Tbsp brown sugar)
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup water

BBQ Meat:

  • leftover pieces from yesterday’s baked chicken or
  • thinly sliced chicken breasts or
  • thinly sliced pork tenderloin

Cook meat first, or use leftover pieces.  Mix the sauce together, and pour over meat in large skillet.  Heat over medium until boiling.  Reduce heat and simmer for 10 – 20 minutes.  Serve over rice or with potato wedges.
