Several years ago I hosted a fall lunch at my home out in the country. There were lots of laughs, good food and a pack of dogs that ran out in front of my guest’s cars causing some soup spills from crock pots. I haven’t seen the dogs since. They must have smelled all of the good food coming their way that day. I asked my friends to bring a dish and share a favorite fall recipe or two. I collected and copied the recipes ahead of time so that everyone would have a collection of recipes to take home. I don’t know about you, but I really enjoy a little take home treat. I also gave out chocolate and caramel dipped apples. Check out my post on caramel apple ideas for inspiration.
I wish I had pictures of that day, but at the time I was too busy with the preparations to think about it. Since I’ve started blogging, I find myself taking pictures of everything just in case I want to write about it in the future. I don’t have photos of the day, but I have something even better and that is the recipes which were shared. My friend Kelly submitted this recipe for Autumn Pork Tenderloin. Every autumn I pull my folder out and make this pork tenderloin. It’s a family favorite that I make throughout the fall and winter months. It’s not the prettiest looking dish, but it tastes great and is easy. The apple topping on it nicely complements the pork. Let me know if you give it a try.

Sounds really yummy!
Oh this looks so good! I think we’re due for a change in recipes…I always end up making the same things most of the time.
Ha this made me laugh! Di thought I was going to run over those dogs! This recipe sounds good…..printed it to try.
My husband loves pork tenderloin, I’m not usually a fan but this looks yummy! Thanks for linking up to #LOBS!
Thanks for visiting. I’m not usually a huge fan either, but I like this one.
Ahhhh, this made me smile to read your post. I remember that fall get together fondly. I miss getting together with neighbors like that. Just seems like there is never enough time anymore….
I agree! We need to do it more often. As I was writing the post, I kept thinking,”I should do that again.”
Pork Tenderloin is one of my hubby’s absolute favorites, so I will be trying this for sure sometime very soon! Pinning and sharing! Hugs, Chloe!
Thanks so much Chloe, I hope you enjoy it. It doesn’t look very pretty when it comes out of the oven, but it tastes good and is super easy.
