Pork Tenderloin Medallions with Red Wine Mushroom Sauce

Finally, the weather is cooling off and I'll post more cooking recipes.After, all, the title of the blog is Baking and Cooking.  It has been a very, hot, summer in the Chicago area.  When it's so hot I only want cold foods, salads, lots of fruit and veggies, ice cream, yogurt .My husband on the other hand wants pasta, chili, and  Coq Au Vin, all heavy meals.We had to comprise. Now, I can post one of favorite meals, which is versatile and easy, besides being very flavorful and delicious.!

I got this recipe from my dear friend, Pam, who passed away from a brain tumor in 2003. She had two girls, who are married and have families of their own, and I stay in touch with them.  Every time I make this recipe I say "Thank You, Pam". I hope that you enjoy this recipe as much as we do.
