Total Time: 45 min prep and 50 min cooking so 1.5 hours (this took a long time, but was SO worth it! Most of the time was the casserole baking and the tenderloin on the grill, so it's not as bad as it sounds!)

Changes I made while cooking: I used less celery and onion than the casserole called for (although the right amount probably would have given it more flavor, but honestly, I was sick of chopping).  I cooked the tenderloin for 50 min, not 45 (actually I should say, "hubby cooked...").
Thoughts while cooking:  "What does a 'bunch of celery' mean?  It can't possibly mean I need to chop ALL those celery sticks...."  "This is going to be a lot of dishes!"  "Broccoli, rice, celery...this is healthy right? Ummm minus the cheese and cream soup."
Impressions while eating:  "I know why they call this piece of meat the tenderloin....it's SO tender!"  "This looks like a really fancy meal and it wasn't that much work."  "The casserole could use a little more salt and pepper."
Changes I would make: Add more salt and pepper to casserole.  Cut the casserole recipe in half because this makes a TON of casserole!  We will probably be eating this casserole for a while!
Extra ingredients to use later in the week:  BBQ sauce, celery, and rice
Pinky's Secret:  I LOVE these rolls...and so does everyone else!!!  They are so easy!  I follow the directions exactly like they say, pop it in the bread machine, roll dough into little balls and then get AMAZING buttery rolls!  I grease the pan with butter flavored Crisco, not the regular stuff....it makes them slightly crispy on the outside and gives even more buttery flavor!  I have also made the Texas Road House honey butter to go with them in the past:

It's pretty close to the restaurant!  Ohhh sooo yummy!!! These rolls also freeze with no problems!  Just grab and few, microwave them for 30 sec or so, and they taste like you just made a fresh batch!

Hubby does the grilling in the house!  One time he tried to grill me a frozen burrito before I got home
from work because I told him I was craving a burrito...haha It's the thought that counts!! =)
