Pork tenderloin makes a nice change from chicken breast. It is also quick to cook, especially if you have a grill and quicker still if you have a
contact grill. The end result is a delicious, succulent lean piece of meat the whole family will enjoy. If you have time, marinate this
lemon-lime pork tenderloin for a few hours for maximum flavor.

For me, there are two Mother's Days: the U.K. one, known as Mothering Sunday, which is in March, where I remember my own mother, and the U.S. one, which is on May 12th this year, when my two girls will no doubt put together a yummy breakfast feast for me (girls, are you reading this?).
If it's your turn to treat mom this year, I have 10 low-fat Mother's Day recipes that should fit the bill, ranging from delicious breakfast or brunch options to dinner and dessert.

My wished-for breakfast on Mother's Day is
blueberry pancakes, made with plump, fresh blueberries. While pancakes may not be the healthiest of breakfasts, using lower-fat ingredients, limiting the number of pancakes you eat, and not going crazy with the toppings and sides, will all help to save fat calories, and indeed total calories. Personally, I'm content with a drizzle of warm maple syrup or a fresh fruit compote made from lightly sweetened warmed berries.

Cinco de Mayo gives us a great excuse to indulge in some Mexican-inspired recipes, some of which may already be a weeknight staple, such as tacos on taco night, or something similar. But in honor of this triumphant day in Mexico's history, when the small Mexican army defeated the larger French army at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, here are some
Low Fat Cinco de Mayo recipes, including some delicious beef tacos (pictured).
