Tonight's meal is Grilled Balsamic Pork Tenderloin, Lemony Apple Salad, and microwaved Speedy Rosemary Green Beans. Bakery-made whole grain bread is a nutritious addition.

A nip in the air never stops a Southerner from firing up the grill for a great supper. Grilling adds flavor to food, makes for easy cleanup, and can be a low-fat way of cooking. Just remember that the colder it is outside, the longer it takes to heat the grill. Don't close the vents thinking that will keep heat in; it actually cuts off the oxygen needed for gas and charcoal fires to burn. Instead, turn the temperature dials up slightly, avoid opening and closing the lid unnecessarily, and plan for a few extra minutes of cooking time, if needed.
