  • Pork Tenderloin with Bourbon Marinade

    Pork Tenderloin with Bourbon Marinade

    Oh, yum! I love finding a new marinade. And pork tenderloins are so lean and so good and cook up so easily. I’ve always grilled them although I suppose one day I’ll have to experiment with indoor cooking. But for now… I’m never sure when they say bourbon quite what that means since I’m not…
