Garlic Rosemary Roasted Pork Loin

Suzanne StrengthLeave a comment

This recipe is dedicated to my precious grandfather, Newt Strength.  He loved pork more than anyone I know, except for maybe my father.  He came to visit me once in North Carolina before he passed away and I made him this pork loin.  He loved it.  It’s one of the last things I was able to do for him.  I love and miss you, Newk!

Broiled Pork Chops

These easy pork chops are delicious with this sauce.  Next time I make it, I’m skipping the racks and just letting them lay around in the sauce to soak it up.  Otherwise, it doesn’t pick up as much flavor as it could.  Hope you like it!

Recipe: Mop and Marinade Sauce

Suzanne StrengthLeave a comment

Summertime means Grilling Time!  With this recent heat wave we’ve experienced (112 says my car!) I can’t see turning on the oven for anything.  It just heats up the entire house and my air conditioner runs non-stop as it is.  Time to fire up the grill!  This marinade is sweet and tangy and is perfect with pork. It can also be used for beef and even chicken.  Even more important: I have each of these ingredients in my pantry on any given day.  Try it tonight if you are stumped on what to do with that bare pack of meat.  Original recipe from Boomette
