This past weekend was enjoyably hectic for my daughter and me. We squeezed in a day trip to Greenville, SC on Saturday and then drove to Atlanta to spend some time with my mom and sister for Mother’s Day. Seeing we live in Athens, that’s a whole lotta time in our car ~ time for debating the pros and cons of pineapple on pizza (are you a fan?), savory oatmeal vs sweet oatmeal, and, what’s for dinner?!

Yes, we do talk about food ~ A LOT! Hence the food blog -eh? 😊
But all that talking and driving left us with less time for cooking. When we got home, I had less than 30 minutes to whip up dinner.
As I had picked up some Smithfield Marinated Roasted Garlic & Cracked Black Pepper Fresh Pork Tenderloin from Walmart, along with some fresh pineapple, I decided I would slice them up (so they cooked faster) and throw them on the grill while I tried to get laundry done before the day was done.

Of course, I wasn’t paying attention to the timer or the grill ~ until I smelled the delicious aroma of charring Smithfield Marinated Roasted Garlic & Cracked Black Pepper Fresh Pork Tenderloin. I flipped the slices of pork tenderloin and pineapple over. Then, I used the grilled pineapple to whip up a quick and easy pineapple salsa as I thought the pork might have been over-grilled.

But, when I plated that Smithfield Marinated Roasted Garlic & Cracked Black Pepper Fresh Pork Tenderloin and cut into it, the knife sliced through it like it was a slice of cake with frosting!

Perfectly marinated, perfectly seasoned, and incredibly versatile, Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork is made with real, all-natural ingredients. With these 100% fresh pork cuts, a delicious, hassle-free meal can be whipped up in no time!

We are huge fans of Smithfield® in our home. I usually spin in some curry and mango, or garam masala, or pineapple, with fresh, versatile, Smithfield® pork chops for a quick and tasty dinner! As Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork is perfectly marinated and perfectly seasoned, they are all the inspiration I need for a quick and versatile meal that’s ready in about 30 minutes or less.
Made with real, all-natural ingredients, Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork comes in flavors such as:
- Garlic & Herb Loin Filet,
- Applewood Bacon Loin Filet,
- Rotisserie Tenderloin,
- And, Garlic & Cracked Black Pepper.
My daughter and I enjoyed this Grilled Pork and Grilled Pineapple Salsa Dinner on a bed of sautéed cabbage. But, you can also sub in riced cauliflower or riced broccoli or these Loaded Cauliflower Hash Browns for an easy, quick and tasty dinner!

I do enjoy Smithfield's pork tenderloins, and I've gotta say that I'm a huge fan of grilled pineapple! The smoky flavor from the grill combined with the sweet pineapple is just a thing of beauty. Well done with this recipe, Shashi...and on a short timeline for dinner, too. Nailed it!
So I have to admit that I had a pang of homesickness when I say Greenville. My grandparents lived in Belton, SC, which is about 30 minutes from Greenville. I spend many wonderful summers in that part of the country!! I hope you gals enjoyed your day trip!
