summer internship news & a recipe

i have been on Cloud 9 ever since Monday! i am so excited to tell y'all that i will be interning this summer for LEONA in nashville! this internship is everything i could ask for... i will be working on the business side of the label, getting a hands-on experience about everything that goes on behind-the-scenes. and to top off how fabulous it is, LEONA's offices and boutique are located on 12 South in Nashville! one of my favorite cities of all time! i don't know if i could have asked for more. that being said, i am currently in the market for a summer sublease!

the other night at home i made a delicious fall and winter recipe that is healthy, flavorful and filling! i altered it a bit from the original recipe i found on The Novice Chef. her recipe was good but i found a few shortcuts to take and it was still delicious! it served the four of us perfectly, along with sliced roasted acorn squash, brussel sprouts and wild rice!

spiced pork tenderloin with sautéed apples

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp coriander

1/2 tsp nutmeg

2 tsp thyme

1 lb lean pork tenderloin, trimmed of fat and cut crosswise into 12 pieces

1 apple, sliced and chopped into smaller pieces

2 large shallots, sliced

1/2 c chopped onions

1/3 c apple cider vinegar

1. heat a large, sprayed skillet over medium high heat. place pork in skillet and sprinkle spices evenly over pork. stir to coat well. cook pork until done.
2. when pork is close to desired doneness, add apple, shallots, and onion and apple cider vinegar. cook until apples are crisp yet tender. stir to mix flavors together well and add more seasonings if needed. 

this week was super short for me! just three days! i really like not having friday classes thats for sure! i get to run all my errands on fridays now and truly do relaxing stuff on the actual weekend! tomorrow i have an advising appointment for my senior year which is so strange to think about! i'll also be trying to stay warm... i have had enough of old man winter and am ready for some above-freezing temperatures! y'all stay as warm as you can!
