<br>  	
<br>In honor of Father's Day (this Sunday, June 16th), we've whipped up a couple of decadent recipes that dads will LOVE... guilt-free, of course! Bring on the meat and cheese...
<br>
<br>
<br>Spicy Asian Pork Tenderloin 
<br>1/4 of recipe (about 3.25 oz. cooked pork with 2 tbsp. sauce): 191 calories, 4g total fat (1g sat. fat), 555mg sodium, 13g carbs, <0.5g fiber, 9g sugars, 24g protein -- PointsPlus® value 5*-- SmartPoints® value 5*
<br>
<br>BREAKOUT RECIPE ALERT! This is one of our best creations ever. The zesty-sweet sauce is the stuff dreams are made of...
<br>
<br>Ingredients:
<br>Marinade
<br>2 tbsp. reduced-sodium/lite soy sauce
<br>1 tbsp. sweet Asian chili sauce 
<br>2 tsp. chopped garlic
<br>1 tsp. chopped ginger
<br>1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
<br>
<br>Pork
<br>One 1-lb. raw pork tenderloin, trimmed of excess fat
<br>
<br>Sauce
<br>2 tsp. cornstarch
<br>3 tbsp. sweet Asian chili sauce
<br>1 1/2 tbsp. seasoned rice vinegar
<br>1 tsp. chopped garlic
<br>1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
<br>2 tbsp. thinly sliced scallions 
<br>
<br>Optional topping: extra thinly sliced scallions
<br>
<br>Directions:
<br>In a small bowl, combine marinade ingredients; stir until uniform. Place pork and marinade in a large sealable plastic bag; remove as much air as possible and seal. Gently knead marinade into meat through the bag. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
<br>
<br>Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
<br>
<br>Bring a large oven-safe skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to high heat on the stove. Add pork and discard excess marinade. Evenly sear meat, rotating it occasionally, until dark on all sides, about 4 minutes total.
<br>
<br>Place skillet in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
<br>
<br>Carefully flip pork. Bake until pork center reaches 145 degrees, 5 - 10 more minutes.
<br>
<br>Remove pork from the skillet and let rest for 10 minutes.
<br>
<br>Meanwhile, to make the sauce, combine cornstarch with 1/4 cup water in a small nonstick pot. Stir to dissolve. Add remaining sauce ingredients except scallions and stir well. Set heat to medium. Stirring frequently, cook until sauce has thickened, 6 - 8 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in scallions. 
<br>
<br>Slice pork, and serve with sauce!

<br>HG Tip! If you're not sure if the skillet handle is oven-safe, wrap it in aluminum foil first.

<br>Cheeseburger Tostadas 
<br>1/2 of recipe (1 tostada): 180 calories, 5g total fat (2g sat. fat), 630mg sodium, 22g carbs, 4g fiber, 5g sugars, 11g protein -- PointsPlus® value 4* -- SmartPoints® value 5*
<br>
<br>Can't decide between burgers and Mexican food? With this no-guilt dish, you don't have to!
<br>
<br>Ingredients:
<br>Two 6-inch corn tortillas
<br>1 meatless hamburger-style patty with 100 calories or less (like Boca Original Vegan Veggie/Meatless Burger)
<br>1/2 cup chopped onion
<br>2 slices 2% American cheese
<br>1/2 cup shredded lettuce
<br>1/4 cup chopped tomatoes
<br>1 tsp. ketchup
<br>1 tsp. mustard
<br>1 tbsp. chopped pickles
<br>
<br>Directions:
<br>Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
<br>
<br>Lay tortillas flat on the sheet, and spray with nonstick spray.
<br>
<br>Bake for 5 minutes. 
<br>
<br>Carefully flip tortillas, and bake until crispy, 3 - 5 minutes.
<br>
<br>Bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Cook burger patty for about 4 minutes per side, until cooked through.
<br>
<br>Set burger aside to cool. Remove skillet from heat, re-spray, and bring to medium heat. Add onion, and cook and stir until softened, about 4 minutes.
<br>
<br>Transfer onion to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Chop burger patty and tear cheese slices into pieces. Add both to the bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, or until cheese has melted. Mix thoroughly.
<br>
<br>Evenly top tortillas with lettuce, followed by burger mixture.
<br>
<br>Top with remaining ingredients, and devour!
