Arcadia Ward Pork Tenderloin

Arcadia Ward Pork Tenderloin When the new Enrichment program began, I was asked to co-host our ward’s cooking group that meets once a month. I was in charge of teaching the class in June, so I picked one of my family’s favorties. My friend, Liz, and I have dubbed it the “Arcadia Ward Pork Tenderloin.” It was created by another friend’s mother in the ward, and those of us who grew up in the Arcadia ward ate it quite frequently. It’s grilled so you don’t have to heat up your kitchen—a big plus for those of us who live in where the average temperature is 110° in the summer. And, if you make the grilled red potatoes below, it’s practically a complete Sunday dinner.

Barbequed Pork Tenderloin
Serves 4-6

3 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 lbs pork tenderloin
2/3 c fresh orange juice ¼ t salt
3 T soy sauce freshly ground pepper
3 cloves garlic, crushed

Place tenderloin in Ziploc bag with all ingredients. Marinate 2 hours at least or overnight. Bring meat to room temperature before grilling. Grill 5 to 8 minutes per side. Slice and pour remaining marinade (after boiling it) over pork.

Grilled New Potatoes with Parmesan and Herbs
Serves 6-8 plus leftovers

5 lbs small red-skinned potatoes
4 T olive oil ¼ C crumbled feta
1 C chopped green onions 3 garlic cloves,minced
3 T chopped parsley

Cook potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water until tender (15 min). Drain, cool. Prepare barbecue (med heat). Cut potatoes in half; transfer to large bowl. Add 2 T oil; toss to coat. Grill potatoes until golden, turning occasionally. Transfer to bowl. Drizle 2 T oil over. Add remaining ingredients; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.

  1. A perfect thing for us to try out this weekend, since we’re trying to utilize the grill more lately. It’s getting pretty hot and we have no AC! Thanks!

  2. That sounds like a stake thing. My grandma and great aunt lived in neighboring wards, and I remember having that frequently.

  3. In suit you need a little more money, you can go for other loan schemes.
    People from this section, usually, look at for small economical
    after second to third week related to the month, whenever
    they find their specific purse already drain by this moment in time.

For years, blogger Heidi Toth has wrestled with questions she couldn't answer: How could she stay in the LDS Church? But how could she leave? Although the wrestle continues, she finally answered those questions.
What an arbitrary, cruel, crap game we’ve been asked to play! I don’t think our Heavenly Parents want for us helping children develop a sense of spiritual identity and belonging to be this kind of disheartening, crapshoot gamble. Surely they don’t opt for such poor odds themselves when it comes to their children reaching their potential and finding joy. Jesus’s healing is not just for the lucky, the prosperous, the comfortable, the conventional, or those with a natural affinity to believe, to fit in, to be heterosexual, and so on. He intends for it to reach the downtrodden, the sick, the questioning and doubtful, the outcast, and the broken. Our hierarchical, conformity and submission-based heaven has never aligned with the gospel Jesus taught.
