I'm always on the lookout for something out of the ordinary to keep the boredom away.

Ginger Grilled Pork Tenderloin
Marinating overnight is best, but you'll need at least 2 hours.
- 1 pork tenderloin (1.5 lbs)
- 1 c. dry white wine or chicken broth
- 1.5 T. grated fresh ginger
- 1 T. soy sauce
- 1 T. sesame oil
- 1/2 packet sugar substitute
- 1.5 garlic cloves, pressed
- 2 green onion, thinly sliced
1. Combine everything except onions in a resealable bag. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
2. Remove tenderloins and discard marinade. Heat gas grill to medium and grill tenderloins 15-20 minutes in covered grill turning occasionally, until and instant-read thermometer registers 150-155 degrees. Slice, garnish with onion, and serve immediately.

I have fibromyalgia. In 2011, I was in so much pain and so fatigued, I became desperate enough to change how I eat. I didn't think it would actually help, but it did in a big way. (See the link for Dr. St. Amand's Hypoglycemic/Fibromyalgia diet; see "My Journey" for more of my story, what the diet is, and what to expect from it). Changing your eating can seem a little daunting- okay, very daunting!- but it isn't that bad, and it doesn't have to be difficult or totally boring.
