Menu

This Pork Tenderloin with Pineapple Avocado Salsa has long been one of my favorite summertime recipes for dinner parties. The very best dinner party was in celebration of Alma’s 7th birthday, one of M’s dearest friends.  Imagine! This menu incorporates 16+ glorious plant foods, loaded with flavors, colors and nutrition. And our seven year-olds loved it. It’s a hit with dinner guests of all ages.
