As much as I love to cook, there are nights when dinner is a complete hassle.

After a day loaded with work, errands, chores, after-school activities and homework, mommy is tired. Luckily I have a few go-to meals up my sleeve that offer big flavor for next to no work.

When my son was 4 years old, we were out for a drive one day. The car was quiet, only the low hum of the air conditioner could be heard as my little guy watched cars pass by.

Then out of nowhere, he piped up and said, “Mommy… I love pig.” (Pause.) “You know, bacon, ham and the other one. PORK! Yes, pork. I love those piggy things, mommy.”

After a long wry smile of utter satisfaction I replied, “Mommy loves pig too, buddy.”

Pig Pork is my family’s favorite protein by far; so versatile in flavor and form. From lean crusty pork chops, to crisp fatty bacon, to spicy dried sausage, we are big fans of the PIG.

It’s no wonder that when we need dinner in a hurry we lean on the budget-friendly protein that offers big flavor and quick cook-time.

For this purpose, I always have a pork tenderloin in the freezer. In the time it takes me to tie on my apron, pull back my hair and heat the grill, the pork tenderloin is thawed in warm water and ready to go.

Perfect for that night you are just too worn out to enjoy the cooking process.

With just two ingredients, plus salt and pepper, you’ve got an amazing main dish. And I do mean amazing! Pork and dijon mustard where made for each other. The sweet juicy pork mingled with the spicy notes of the mustard offer shear porky delight.

On these hectic nights I simply slice the pork loin down the middle, open in up, slather it with dijon, and throw it on the grill.
