Crock Pot Honey Cajun Pork Tenderloin
I served my Cajun Pork with some cheesy grits and plenty of wilted mixed greens, but whatever sides you decide on would be great. This spicy pork is just spicy enough to get the taste buds tingling without making you sweat. A little sweet. A little heat. Just right.
New Orleans will always have a special place in my heart. It's where my parents had their honeymoon. It's where I drove through with my grandfather, making memories, shortly after Katrina hit. That was way back when I was just a teenager, somewhere in high school or there shortly after. It's a place I've heard numerous stories about and can't wait to one day make even more memories there.
