Tuesday
Meal: Smithfield Pork Tenderloin with Skillet Classics and Italian Bread
Description: A portion of Smithfield Pork Tenderloin is roasted and sliced, paired with a quick Skillet Classics side dish for a hearty weeknight dinner. A slice or two of fresh Italian Bread rounds out the plate and soaks up any savory pan juices.
