I always struggle when it comes to making pork chops. I'm not sure why but it's one of the cuts of pork that I usually avoid buying. There was a great sale on chops that I couldn't pass up and figured I would give them another shot. This was a great recipe for that! The… Continue reading Honey Pecan Pork Chops
First, I've finally created a page on Facebook for my blog. I know what's taken me forever and what was I waiting for.

Make sure you like my page! http://www.facebook.com/joinuspullupachairI bought a pound of ground pork from a… Continue reading Skillet Ziti with Ground Pork

I rarely cook large pieces of meats since most of our holiday dinners are either at my mom's or my in-law's house. Over Christmas, there was a great sale on ham and I picked one up figuring I could cook it up and then freeze part of it for another meal. It worked out perfectly. I… Continue reading Fig-Orange Glazed Ham
I had bought thin sliced pork chops last week and didn't get a chance to make them, so they were bumped to this week. I didn't want just boring old plain pork chops, so off to searching I went. This is definitely becoming a chore that I love doing! The pomegranate juice and ketchup makes… Continue reading Pomegranate-Glazed Pork Chops

It's my family's tradition to have pork and sauerkraut on New Year's Day. Eating pork and sauerkraut is an old Pennsylvania Dutch tradition and symbolizes prosperity in the new year. We're big fans of this meal and it's usually served with mashed potatoes and applesauce. My husband and I disagree on how to eat it… Continue reading Pork & Sauerkraut
I'm not a huge fan of pork chops, because I always overcook them. I can never figure out the correct timing when I'm cooking them. BUT....using this method of broiling them, they were juicy and so good. I was a little concerned that the glaze would be a little spicy with the whole-grain mustard, but… Continue reading Maple-Mustard Glazed Pork Chops
Now that it's feeling more like fall, I'm ready to start using my oven for more than just baking. We haven't had pork in a long time and I couldn't pass up the sale at Giant last week. Buy one pack, get one free - I mean really, who can't pass that up! I usually… Continue reading Apple Glazed Pork Tenderloin
I didn't do much cooking last week and wanted to get back into the swing of things and also back to meal planning. My friend Katie shared this recipe on our mom's board recipe swap and it was so good. My husband was a little skeptical about the ingredients but it was so good! It… Continue reading Slow Cooker Cranberry Pork
