Wow your family with this delicious way to cook ground pork. Serve this with a cold macaroni salad, a green vegetable and perhaps some crusty bread - you’ll be all set. On a personal note, I like to offer a bit of maple syrup on the side, just in case the mood strikes for that […]

From my sister Sandy - I slightly tweaked her recipe. Everyone gobbles up at least 2 each time I make them. An average pan holds about 4 of these per batch, that’s why I say to get 12 - they go so fast! The trick is to use very thin slices of pork loin.

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Take the ham out of the fridge and place skin side-up on a rack in […]

I’m not real big on the sweet & sour thing, but these meatballs are divine. I served them with some rice pilaf and green beans, and we barely had leftovers.

3/4 cup bread crumbs (seasoned is ok)
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. kosher salt + 1/4 tsp. added later
