Welcome!

As a person who loves food, but also tries to maintain a healthy weight and eat nutritiously, I am on a constant search for healthy, low-calorie recipes that do not sacrifice flavor, texture or satiety. This blog is a compilation of such recipes that are tried and true: all have great flavor and texture, are low-calorie, and leave me feeling satisfied.

Pork Tenderloin with Cabbage and Apple Slaw

Copied from Real Simple's website

Ingredients:
-3 tablespoons olive oil
-2 pork tenderloins (1 1/4 pounds total)
-Kosher salt and black pepper
-2 tablespoons rice vinegar
-1 tablespoon honey
-1 small Napa cabbage (about 1 pound)—quartered, cored, and thinly sliced
-1 crisp red apple (such as Gala or Fuji), cut into thin wedges
-1/4 cup fresh cilantro

Directions:
1) Heat oven to 400° F. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork with 1⁄2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook, turning occasionally, until browned, 6 to 8 minutes.
2) Transfer the skillet to oven and roast until the pork is cooked through, 12 to 14 minutes. Let rest at least 5 minutes before slicing.
3) Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the vinegar, honey, the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, and 1⁄4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add the cabbage and apples and toss. Let sit for at least 5 minutes, tossing occasionally. Fold in the cilantro and serve with the pork.
