Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the seasonings; set aside. Cut a lengthwise slit down the center of pork tenderloin to within 1/2 in. of bottom. Open so meat lies flat; cover with plastic wrap. Flatten to 1/4-in. thickness. Remove plastic; sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon seasoning mix over meat. , In a large skillet, bring water to a boil. Add asparagus; cover and cook for 2 minutes.

Grill, covered, over indirect medium heat for 20-25 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°, turning occasionally. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425º F. Wash asparagus and cut off the tougher bottom parts of the stems. (Don't snap the ends as you lose too much of the asparagus). If sizes vary dramatically, slice the largest asparagus stems lengthwise. The asparagus can be chopped uniformly into halves or thirds or left whole.
• Wash and peel beets and slice into small cubes. Place asparagus and beets in a large bowl. Add olive oil, seasoning, and thyme and toss until completely coated.Cover baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange asparagus and beets on the sheet so they are spread out and not overlapping. Use a spatula to gather any remaining oil and seasonings to drizzle over the arranged vegetables. Bake for 15-20 minutes until beets are tender then remove them from the oven. Pile the asparagus and beets into the middle of the baking pan. Add cheese, fruit, and almonds. Bake another 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly spray a large shallow baking pan with olive oil spray.
• Put the flour and egg substitute in separate shallow bowls. In a third bowl, stir together the bread crumbs and 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Set the bowls and the baking pan in a row, assembly-line fashion. Dip 1 pork slice in the flour, turning to coat and gently shaking off any excess. Dip in the egg substitute mixture, turning to coat and letting any excess drip off. Dip in the bread crumb mixture. Using your fingertips, lightly press the mixture so it adheres to the pork. Repeat with the remaining pork. Put the pieces in a single layer in the baking pan. Lightly spray with olive oil spray.
• Bake for 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, fill a large skillet with water to a depth of 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat.
• While the water heats, trim and discard the bottom 1 inch of each asparagus spear. Add the asparagus to the boiling water. Reduce the heat to medium high. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Drain well in a colander. Cover and set aside to keep warm.
• In a small bowl, stir together the tomato sauce and remaining 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning. After the pork has baked for 25 minutes, spoon the tomato sauce mixture over it. Sprinkle with the goat cheese and Parmesan.
• Bake for 5 minutes, or until the pork is slightly pink in the center and the cheeses are melted. Serve over the asparagus.
