Comfort food is making a big comeback and what says comfort better than this old-fashion recipe for roasted pork tenderloin with vegetables meal? Perhaps adding another old recipe for an Apple Spice Cake for dessert. Yep, that's it. Double comfort. Why not treat your family and friends to some good old-fashion comfort food right away?

ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN AND VEGETABLES

2 pork tenderloins, about 3/4 lb each
2 lbs red potatoes, scrubbed and quartered
1 lb carrots, halved and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 medium onion, cut into wedges
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp dried rosemary, crushed
1 tsp sage
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Place tenderloins in a shallow roasting pan that has been lightly greased. Arrange the vegetables around the pork; drizzle with the oil. Combine the seasonings and sprinkle of the pork and the vegetables. Bake, uncovered, in a 450 degree oven for about 40 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees. Stir the vegetables occasionally during the cooking process.

Makes 6 servings. 3-oz of meat + 1 cup of vegetables equals 331 calories, 40 g carbs, and 28 g protein.

APPLE SPICE CAKE

This is an old newspaper clipping from the Bedford Daily Times Mail of Bedford, Indiana. The clipping doesn't say but I imagine the recipe was in an "Appleacres" ad. Appleacres is a local business there that specializes in apples from their own apple orchards.

Mix together 2 cups chopped apples, 1 cup sugar and let stand for 15 minutes. Add:

1 egg
1 cup flour
1/2 cup nuts
1/2 cup raisins
pinch of salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp soda
1/2 stick butter

Mix all together, pour into a greased pan and bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes. Delicious!

Enjoy!
