Portuguese Pork Roast

This recipe is all about the marinade. Instructions are given for oven, crockpot, and instant pot. The marinade can be thickened to use as gravy as well. This comes out so moist though that gravy isn’t needed, it’s just there for more flavor. Here this roast is pictured with Potato Love Letters

Fennel Pork Chops

If you’ve never had fennel, note that it has a distinctive anise, licorice type flavor.  Here it is paired with garlic and the pair work very well together.

Italian Style Country Pork Ribs

These ribs use Italian Sauce which can be found on this site. These ribs are melt in your mouth tender and have a lovely kick of spice from the sauce they’re paired with. I tend to serve them with pasta and garlic bread

Italian Sausage

Italian sausage has so many uses and I much prefer to make it at home rather than buy it in the store because then I have complete control over the spices in it, the heat level, everything. I use Italian sausage in spaghetti sauce, I’ll mix it 50/50 with beef for one of the most flavorful burgers you’ve ever sunk your teeth into, I’ll also do the same with meatloaf. It’s great fried up with eggs for a morning omelet. Its uses are pretty much endless. Just think outside the box and figure out where you could put this.

Stuffed Pork Roast

I love stuffing chicken breasts, roasts, most anything. Not only does it add a layer of flavor but it looks really pretty on a plate. Here spinach, onion, eggs, ricotta cheese and, Italian sausage come together to make simple pork roasts truly divine.

Baked BBQ Pork Chops

This was a very exciting recipe for me to explore.  I really cannot remember the last time I made BBQ Pork Chops or if I’ve even tried it before.  Much of the required ingredients were already on hand.

Mexican Meatballs

I really enjoyed this recipe as it allowed me to explore other ingredients using meatballs.  Traditionally, I have only used them for a typical Italian dish, so this recipe definitely takes me a little out of my comfort zone.  Nevertheless, a wonderful surprise.

Jackie’s Spiced Tomato Pork Chops

If you like pork chops and tomatoes this recipe is a must-try!  It’s bursting with flavor and like most simmered, tomato-based recipe tastes even better as a leftover.  The pork is falling off the bone tender.  In the photo, it is served with parmesan roasted cauliflower and pearl couscous cooked with wine and smoked pork broth.  Enjoy!!

Schnitzel Tacos

This recipe is a twist off of a Milanese veal steak. I switched to a more classic Schnitzel using pork chops but veal steak will also work making them Wiener Schnitzel Tacos.  Did you know Wiener Schnitzel has been dated all the way back to the 19th century and originates from Austria but was made famous in German cuisine. All of the best German flavors are here with the traditional roasted potatoes and lemon cream sauce with the well known red cabbage slaw to top it all off.

Fake’n’Shake’n’Bake

Have you ever read the nutrition label on a box of Shake’n’Bake and seen the amount of sodium in there?? No thanks, I’d like to help my ticker keep  tickin. Here’s a much lower sodium, and in my opinion, healthier, tastier version. Like all things on this website, make it your own. Want more kick, add more Cayenne or maybe a little Slap Ya Mama. Going for a more  Italian feel up the Basil and Oregano, add some Rosemary. Play with this and make it yours. This makes about 4 packets worth so store it in a ziplock with all …
