Pork Tenderloin with Mustard Sauce – a mustard coated pork tenderloin is broiled and then served with a broccoli and mustard sauce.
Years ago, I somehow ended up with a big box full of magazines. Mostly Women’s Day, Family Circle, Better Homes & Gardens and such. I don’t remember where I got them all from, but I loved looking through them at the recipes.
Well, one day I got the idea to go through and just cut out the recipes so I could get rid of the box. I would go through the magazine and find the recipes that looked and/or sounded good, and cut them out along with a picture if it was small enough. Then I took index cards, glued the recipe onto the card, and then covered the card with contact paper. Yeah – tons of work.
I know I didn’t get through all the magazines before I decided I really didn’t need that many recipes, but I now have a recipe box with lots of these cards. And although I know I’ll never get to all the recipes, these cards are almost as fun to look through as going through a cookbook. The biggest problem is that I can’t credit the correct magazine now since I didn’t mark down on each recipe where they came from!
I do often forget about the cards since they are hidden away in that box, but I got the box out a while back to find something for dinner. And this recipe is the one I chose out to make – mainly because I had everything on hand.
I liked the recipe, but I have to say that the broccoli in the sauce was a bit strange for me. I think I would have enjoyed it more if the broccoli was just served on the side, but my husband liked the broccoli in the sauce. Serve with a side of my favorite Glazed Carrots, and dinner is ready!!

do you take pictures of the actual food that you make or do you find pictures that look similar? I like them. 🙂

I am crazy for all things mustard and this sounds great to me. So many recipes, so little time. I have a stockpile of magazines too, I should look into consolidating them somehow. Right now I have lists everywhere with tons of recipes I want to make.

What a cool idea to do with those magazines. Granted a ton of work, but if I start doing it from this point forward, I'll have a tidy stash! 🙂 I like this recipe, even with the saucy broccoli. Pork is one of my favorite meats … YUM!

I used to do that. Its not an exercise in vain, as you really learn a lot and get some great ideas.

I have tons of magazines I hate to part with for fear I might miss a jewel of a recipe.
My starving, no lunch yet. You're torturing me…your pork looks excellent.

This looks really interesting. I suspect I'd have preferred the broccoli on the side myself.
You could have some fun with the cards – just reach in blindly, grab one, and decide to make it. It's a little silly, I guess.
