These are some of our favorite recipes, mostly from Cooking Light, but we tend to edit portions and ingredients
that suit our taste buds (e.g. when a recipe calls for 1 minced garlic clove, we use about 4 :) ).
Other recipes are passed down from family and friends.

Ingredients
Pork:
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
* 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
* 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
* 2 (1-pound) pork tenderloins, trimmed

* 1 (7-ounce) can chipotle chiles, canned in adobo sauce
* 1/2 cup maple syrup
* 3 tablespoons fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth

1. To prepare pork, combine first 6 ingredients; sprinkle evenly over pork. Place in a large zip-top plastic bag; seal and refrigerate 3 hours.
2. Preheat oven to 375°.
3. Remove pork from bag. Place pork in a roasting pan; drizzle with oil. Bake at 375° for 30 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in center of pork registers 155°. Remove pork from pan; cover and let stand 10 minutes.
4. To prepare sauce, remove 2 teaspoons adobo sauce from can of chiles; reserve remaining chiles and sauce for another use. Add 2 teaspoons adobo sauce, syrup, broth, and vinegar to roasting pan, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Cook over medium heat 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Place pork in pan, turning to coat. Remove pork from pan, reserving sauce in pan. Cut pork into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Strain sauce through a fine sieve into a bowl; serve with pork.
