Maple Roasted Pork & Veggies
Pork Tenderloin is a quick & easy dinner option, and when you marinade it in maple syrup it becomes a perfect cool weather dinner that will warm you right up. I made this for a family dinner and it was a HUGE hit! First… let’s talk Veggies I wanted to use veggies that were in season & that would go nicely with the maple and apple cider vinegar marinade. Being it is Fall I went with brussels sprouts, apples and onions. You could use butternut squash, potatoes (sweet or russet), acorn squash, carrots… really the possibilities are endless. The key is to season them and make sure you cut…

Instant Pot Pulled Pork Verde
I am obsessed with this Instant Pot Salsa Verde Pulled Pork… truly OBSESSED!! LIKE REALLY OBSESSED! Pulled Pork Love! I love me some good pulled pork, but when you add in a little heat from some salsa and green chilies it takes it to a whole new level. This pork is cooked in a delicious mixture of salsa, chilies, stock and spices. Once it all cooks down it becomes this amazing concentrated spicy sauce that takes this pork to the next level. Broil it a bit… In the idea of a carnita I pulled the pot from the broth and broiled it for just a bit to give it some…

Pork Medallions with Creamy Mushroom Sauce
I think this is the first time the word mushroom has been in the title of any post I have EVER made. It was not until a month or so ago that I even started eating them…and now I LOVE THEM, and they are perfect in this dish! Pork & Mushrooms While I was at the store the other day I came across a beautiful pork tenderloin. Now I am a big pork tenderloin fan, but I wanted to make a one skillet dinner so i decided to cut the tenderloin into medallions. Not only did it make the cooking time minimal, it also made for super tender little chunks…

meatballs are on the menu…
Are you fan of meatballs? I AM, but just recently started making my own. Never needed to… I am a huge fan of meatballs and I became a fan of meatballs because my MeeMaw (look how cute she is) would make them. She would always have some in her deep freeze. She would whip them out for a quick pasta dinner or for her meatballs and gravy. In college I attempted one time to make meatballs, but they were nothing like my MeeMaw’s, and I never made them again until now. The rolling begins… When I decided it was time to attempt meatballs once again I went searching for my MeeMaw’s recipe. After…

It’s time for a BBQ
As I have mentioned before we grill a lot around here. If it were up to me we would grill every meal in the summer, but I will settle for several in a week. For Friends and Family When The Hubby and I entertain the grill is normally on and many times you can find pork being grilled, (like this teriyaki version). Pork is perfect for grilling, it is quick and very versatile. It is always so fun to get everyone around the grill while enjoying a drink (or two) while enjoying the wonderful aroma only a grill can give. The Hubby and I also enjoy grilling for just the two…

maple loving good
Pork chops are a go to dinner for The Hubby and I. I just love how versatile it is and how EASY it is to prepare. The other white meat… Those commercials always made me laugh so hard. This one still makes me laugh…I don’t know that I have ever danced in excitement over pork…but these people do! I will say though after having these pork chops, I might have done a little booty shake out of shear enjoyment…I’m just saying maybe I did. I LOVE versatility One of the best things about pork is it’s versatility. You can grill them, roast them, marinate them, dry rub them, top with sauces, eat…
