Sneha of Sneha's Recipe is hosting our group this month and chose Sprouts as the theme.  This is a wide open topic.  Think of the different sprouts available to us,  There are Alfalfa Sprouts, Broccoli Sprouts, Buckwheat Greens, Clover Sprouts, Cress Sprouts, Fenugreek Sprouts, Mung Bean Sprouts, and Onion Sprouts just to name a few. 

Mung Bean Sprouts

I chose to use Mung Bean Sprouts.  Let's see what the others chose......



Pork Tenderloin

When planning my Weekly Meals I often plan on recipes using leftovers.  In this case I was grilling pork tenderloin for dinner one night.  I made two tenderloin roasts instead of one so that I was sure to have leftovers to make this delicious soup for dinner a couple of days later.

What makes this Pho so wonderful is the broth flavored with cinnamon and star anise.  It tastes as if it took hours to make when in reality it is a quick and easy meal ready in less than an hour.
