Challenge: My husband, James, and I have to squeeze dinner between shifts — literally. James is an electronics engineering technician who works nights, so we're tight for time when I get home. It's important that we share a meal together. Solution: Pork tenderloins weigh about 12 oz (375 g), which is the ideal amount for three servings — two at suppertime and leftovers for James's lunch. James loves sauce, and here it serves to keep the meat moist when reheated in the office microwave.
