Pork Tenderloin & Rice

This week Lowe's grocery had a great deal, BOGO meats. Needless to say, I stocked up. One of the meats available as part of the special was pork tenderloin. My mother used to make this all the time when I was little. The hubby loves pork, and I really like pork tenderloin, so even though I never have cooked it, I thought I'd give it a try. It was delicious. I served it up with a side of egg fried rice (also a semi-new one for me). We were to hungry to pause and take a picture, but it looked and tasted delicious.
