SATURDAY (ENTERTAIN THE FAMILY)

-

Your family will welcome HONEY MUSTARD PORK TENDERLOIN for dinner. Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoon­s cider vinegar, 2 tablespoon­s light brown sugar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard and

1/4 cup honey; mix well. In baking dish, coat 1 (1- to 1 1/4-pound) pork tenderloin with sauce. Bake 20 to 30 minutes, basting occasional­ly, until meat thermomete­r registers 145 degrees. Remove pork from oven, tent with foil and let stand 5 minutes. Slice and serve with packaged LONG-GRAIN AND WILD RICE, steamed FRESH ZUCCHINI and DINNER ROLLS.

For dessert, BAKED BANANAS WITH COCONUT OVER ICE CREAM is delicious: Heat oven to 375 degrees. Coat a 10-inch pie plate with cooking spray. Cut 6 medium bananas crosswise in half and then lengthwise in half. Place in pie plate. Dot bananas with 1 tablespoon cut-up butter. Drizzle with ⅓ cup fresh orange juice and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar and ⅔ cup shredded coconut. Bake uncovered 8 to 10 minutes or until coconut is golden. Spoon over vanilla ice cream for a double-yum dessert.

TIP: Honey will slide out of the measuring cup more easily if you first coat it with cooking spray.
