We substituted a lowfat alternative creamer. We reduced the serving portions of meat from 8 to 4 ounces each and halved the ginger and coriander to keep the balance. Olive was also reduced. Karin wanted to send this to elf but knew the cff was too high. I asked and she gave me the go ahead to offer suggestions on how to reduce it. Here's my go at it. If you haven't tried adding a little fat-free half and half to fat-free plain yogurt, please do. It rounds out the flavor and sweetens the yogurt without adding sugar/honey.

SKILLET PORK TENDERLOIN WITH SPICED CARROTS AND COUSCOUS

Steps:

• Mix together the pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon cumin, 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spice mix all over the pork tenderloin.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the pork tenderloin down the center of the skillet. Cook the pork, flipping occasionally and keeping it in the center of the skillet, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
• While the pork cooks, toss together the ginger, carrots, lemons, remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to one side of the pork tenderloin in the skillet and then add the carrot mixture, spreading it out in an even layer. (Leave the other side of the pork empty.) Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet and cook until the carrots are bright orange and just start to become tender, about 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix together the couscous, apricots and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a medium bowl. Add the couscous mixture and 1 1/2 cups water to the empty side of the skillet. Pile the spinach on top of the carrots, cover the skillet and cook until the couscous is fluffy and tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork has reached about 150 degrees F, about 10 minutes. Remove the pork to a cutting board and slice. Serve with the carrots and couscous.

ORANGE AND GINGER GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• To make the marinade: Combine the orange juice, vinegar, ginger, and orange zest in a small bowl.
• Put the pork tenderloins in a shallow pan and pour the marinade over them. Refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours.
• To make the Orange-Ginger Sauce: Melt the marmalade in a small pan. Add the ginger, soy sauce, cider vinegar, and mustard, stirring to combine; keep warm.
• Prepare the grill with a medium-hot fire.To gauge the heat, hold your hand palm down about 4 inches above the grill. If you can hold it there for only 5-6 seconds it means you have a medium hot fire.
• Remove the meat from the marinade and season it with salt and pepper. Grill, turning at least once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the meat reads 150F, 15 to 20 minutes. Brush with some of the Orange-Ginger Sauce during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Allow the meat to rest on a cutting board tented with aluminum foil for a few minutes before slicing. Slice the meat 1/2 inch thick on the diagonal. Pass the remaining sauce at the table.
