•Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin
•Creamy Cheese Grits and Spinach
•Sauteed Brown Sugar Pears

Here’s a menu that you can put together on a hectic day, yet it is fancy enough for company. Prep, but don’t bake, the tenderloin before work in the morning, giving the seasoning time to work its delicious magic. While the tenderloin bakes, whip up the grits, and prep the ingredients for the pears. As your family clears the table, cook the pears and put the finishing touches on dessert.
