Some recipes just click the first time you make them — and for Jane, this Crockpot Cranberry Pork Tenderloin was one of those instant hits. She stumbled upon it online, tried it once, and she and her partner Jake were hooked. “It’s so easy, it’s stupid,” she laughs — the kind of recipe that makes you look like a gourmet chef with almost no effort at all.

The pork turns out tender and sweet, with that perfect cranberry tang that feels like the holidays in every bite. It’s become their go-to dish for festive potlucks or cozy winter dinners. But this Thanksgiving, it’s taking on a little more meaning. Jane and Jake are packing up their crockpot and heading to cook for Jake’s son Jeremy and his wife Kristina — new parents with their hands full and hearts even fuller.

For them, this meal isn’t just about good food; it’s about giving the gift of time — a warm, home-cooked dinner and a rare day off from the kitchen. Simple, thoughtful, and full of love… just the way family food should be.
