Bourbon Pork Tenderloin

Meal planning for week 4 consisted of Bourbon Pork Tenderloin, Pancakes and Eggs, Buffalo Chicken Wraps, Grilled Teriyaki Chicken and Fettucini,

The Bourbon Pork Tenderloin was great on Monday because it was a busy night. With a soccer game at 5:30 and Back-to-School night at 6:30, we had to eat about 4:30 to be able to sit down and eat as a family (dinner is kind of sacred time at our house). The tenderloin was perfect as I threw it in the crockpot before I left in the morning and came home at 4:30 to a meal waiting to be served. The girls didn't care for the sauce (it was strong) but the meat was incredible. Next time I'll throw a few red potatoes in around it so we have a side to go with it. Due to the time constraints, we served it with Ramen Noodles and everyone was happy. :) It's the perfect fall meal as it's easy to throw in the crockpot and walk away! So excited to get back into crockpot season again!
