This is the Thanksgiving dish DREAMS are made of!! I am a big fan of having an extra meat on the table on top of the turkey because if you have a big group you need a BIG turkey to feed everyone and have leftovers. This also goes for a Friendsgiving! I absolutely love the concept of a Friendsgiving. Both because it brings you together with your besties, but also because you get to eat Thanksgiving dinner twice! I always thoroughly enjoy this meal and think, why do we only do this once a year?! So many good dishes and everyone is stuffed and happy afterwards. Matt and I hosted a Friendsgiving a couple of years ago and it was a blast! Especially because the wine is flowing and laughter is non stop.
So you can image my joy when my friends at Ralphs reached out to see if I wanted to attend a Friendsgiving with some fellow bloggers! Jasmine, Britt, Nataly, Maggie, Amber and I got together a couple of weeks ago to cook & eat – our favorite things! We each made holiday dishes we love and got to enjoy them with each other in a beautiful venue. The table was decked out in Anthropologie-like decor and it was so much fun! I shop at Ralphs all the time – hello affordable & organic options – and they pulled out all the stops for this event! Their Simple Truth line is so nice because they have tons of variety and it seems they have an organic option for everything in the store! I also love how affordable their Private Selection herbs are – I used Sage & Thyme in this recipe and they made it so flippin tasty. – Check out a fun video of the event HERE!
The spread was beautiful!!
All of the herbs this fall! Can you tell I’m obsessed?

Herb Crusted Pork Tenderloin w/ Cranberry Chutney
Ingredients
- 1 pork tenderloin
- 1 egg white
- ยฝ cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper
Chutney:
- 3 shallots, coarsely chopped
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 12-oz bag fresh cranberries
- ยฝ cup coconut sugar
- ยพ cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- ยฝ teaspoon salt
- ยฝ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Whip an egg white in a bowl until slightly frothy. Place the pork tenderloin in the bowl with the egg white and toss to coat the pork. Dump out the excess egg. In a small bowl combine almond flour, sage, thyme, salt and pepper. Power almond flour mixture over pork and pat it down to coat.
- Place a large skillet over high heat and add oil. Once pan is hot, add pork and cook for about 2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Then transfer pork to a foil lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove and tent with more foil. Let sit for 10 minutes so juices rest.
- While the pork is cooking start your chutney. In a medium sized saucepan add shallots and oil and cook for 5 minutes or until shallots are translucent. Then add cranberries, coconut sugar, orange juice and apple cider vinegar to the pan. Cook on medium high until cranberries start to burst and sauce thickens, about 10-15 minutes. Then season to taste and add a tablespoon more coconut sugar if it is too tart for you. Enjoy!

Thanks lady!! Such a great event, thank you!!!
Chaaaaaa I’m so pinning this! My hubs isn’t a huge fan of turkey so maybe I’ll bust this out on Thanksgiving. Sadly we have no where to go (ummm hey life of the military moving thousands of miles from family and having few friends in a new city). SO moral of the story is I’d rather make this than a big @ss turkey anyway. You rock my world, as usual.
THANKS CHRISSA! I hope you do make it, it is delish!! And wahh for no fam around but your little fam is pretty darn cute so I’m sure it will still be a blast! ๐
Hi! Wondering if you meant three cloves of shallots or 3 whole shallots?
3 Whole shallots! Mine usually come with about 2 cloves in each. If yours are bigger I would say 6 cloves? It sounds like a lot but they cook down! ๐
How many pounds should the pork be?
1-2 pounds is what mine usually are!
Wondering on the total Cook time for the roast. You say to sear two mins each side and then bake for 20 mins. Then tent and let rest. Am I missing something? Is that enough time 24 mins?
Yes that is correct! The ones I use are about 1.4 pounds!
I’m wondering if I could replace the almond flour with tapioca? I’ve got a lot of tapioca flour on hand and almond flour is a bit expensive around here.
I haven’t tried that before so I am not sure!
Can I use regular flour?
Yes of course.
