All of these were delicious and the whole thing was a snap to fix. I would say that this would be a good meal to serve company-you wouldn't have to spend the whole evening in the kitchen and it had a very pretty presentation. All of these are easy to lighten without sacrificing flavor. These came from the lastest Southern Living-A special issue called Favorites.
Spicy Grilled Pork Tenderloin-Very tasty-I used McCormicks jerk seasoning and maybe a tad more than called for.
Twice-Baked Mashed Potatoes-Frozen mashed potatoes??? I didn't even know that they existed until this recipe. Well, I bought em and tried em and they aren't half bad, specially with all the add-ins. I used all reduced fat products and did them in a casserole.
Fruit Salad with Blackberry-Basil Vinaigrette-This is the show stopper! Very pretty and we loved it. It makes a ton of dressing. I did cut back on the oil and sub some water. Yum Yum!!
