- I'm always on the lookout for a great, new, pork loin recipe, especially one that has ingredients I already own. I get tired of chicken & turkey now and then, and pork loin, these days, can be just as healthy for you because of how lean it is. Only problem is, I only know a few pork recipes, and only one of them is P90X approved. So I found this one on cooking light, and it is AMAZING!! check it out...
