How's that for a recipe title????

This is absolutely de.light.ful!!  A nice treat for your tastebuds!!!  Seriously.  I'll definitely be making this again!

I cut this out ages and ages ago, but I didn't cut out the complete recipe for some reason...  So, I had to do some researching, but never found the full recipe, and even the half recipe I found was a bit confusing.  So, here is my non confusing version. 

Polynesian Pork Tenderloin with Orange-Curry Sauce and Coconut Rice Recipe:


2 - 3/4 lb pork tenderloins, trimmed

Marinade
1 c. pineapple juice
1/2 c. soy sauce
