This week we are having:

Whole Wheat Pasta with Tuna (repeat)

Two nights we are going to eat vegetarian! Very healthy...
Pork Tenderloin with Black-eyed Pea Salad, adapted from Every Day Food Magazine's June 2010 issue:

.5~.6 lbs trimmed pork tenderloin
1 can black-eyed peas, rinsed
1 avocado, chopped
1/2 cup parsley, minced
3 scallions, chopped
1 lime

Preheat the oven to 450 deg F. Season pork with salt and pepper, roast 20 mins.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the beans, avocado, parsely, scallions and juice and zest of the lime.
Check the temperature of the meat after 20 mins.  If temp is close to 150~155, remove meat and let set 5 mins before slicing into medallions.  Serve with salad on the side.
