How To Cook for Two
by Chef Nick Cavataio

This article is dedicated to all the folks
that are cooking for one or two. Yes, it seems
easier to stop and eat out or get take out; but
actually in my opinion it is not. With a little
planning you can fix your own meals, save time,
money and eat healthier. At least you will know
what you are putting into your body because you
prepared it. Now that the winter months are
almost upon us for most, the outdoor grilling
season is over. Now it becomes more of a
challenge to fix meals in the kitchen.

Knowing it's not a good idea to take things
for granted, I'm going to take a chance and
presume that everyone reading this article has
the basic kitchen with a refrigerator, stove,
oven and microwave. Maybe even a toaster oven,
George Forman grill or crockpot, but I won't push
it. My hope is that you will find it quick and
easy to prepare this recipe and when you have
eaten that last bite you will say to your self
that really tasted GOOD.

Turkey Tenderloins

1-1/4 pounds turkey breast tenderloins

apple slices to a serving platter; keep warm.
