Doin' Some Cookin'... Herb Roasted Pork Tenderloin

Pork tenderloin is an affordable piece of meat that is easy to fix and hard to mess up, especially when prepared in the slow cooker.

The spice blend used for this recipe turns a bland piece of meat into something packed with lots of flavor. The cumin is what really stands out, which I really like.

I shredded the pork before dinner and served it with roasted potatoes and green beans. Little Man cleaned his plate which is always the greatest compliment.

This is a great make ahead recipe, see freezer instructions below.
