Meal Plan #6

Looking for some variety of tastes this week, but chicken is on sale, so yes, that means two roast chickens.  I also feel like experimenting, though, with a couple of different flavours.  We will also be kicking it old school with a pork tenderloin recipe that comes from when I was a kid.  My mom used to make it for us, and then as now, it is an empty plate kind of meal.
