Instant Pot Pulled Pork
This is one of my family’s favorite IP recipes! Each time I make it I’m amazed that I made this tender, delicious pulled pork in under an hour – it’s truly amazing! This takes less than 10 minutes to throw together, and then the Instant Pot does most the work! If you’re a BBQ fan, but don’t have time to smoke or slow roast a pork butt on a weeknight, this recipe is for you!

Bacon Wrapped Pork Roast
A bright spot in our allergy struggles has been that we can all eat bacon. And so we eat bacon a lot. So when I was searching for a recipe for a pork roast I had bought, and came across a bacon wrapped pork roast, I was pretty excited. Turns out, it was for good reason. The roast was awesome and I’m already plotting how long I must wait to put this on the dinner menu again. Next week too soon?? Below is the whole dinner… it’s gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free and nut-free. I cooked it all in the same oven (once it went to 425), and there were very few dishes…

An Appetizer Dinner on New Year’s Eve
Having just made a big sit down meal the day before, I opted for all appetizers on New Year’s Eve. Turned out to be a pretty good decision. Some of these recipes were pretty involved, but making them all together actually saved a lot of time with so many shared ingredients (corn, onion, green onion, all the seasonings for the pork, etc.). I marinated both pork butts the night before, had my mom roast them while I was at work, and then was able to throw it all together between 4:30 and 6:30. My mom also helped with some of the chopping and prep work – and then most importantly,…

Pork Tenderloin Marsala
This is one of my most requested meals – and probably my personal favorite. It is savory and rich and full of flavor. Pretty simple too – not a lot of ingredients, and can be prepared start to finish in just about an hour. Not typically one of my weeknight meals, but a weekend go-to for sure! The pork cooks to a perfect medium and is so juicy and tender. Pork Tenderloin Marsala 2 pork tenderloins 4 – 5 tbsp Dijon mustard (Grey Poupon Country Dijon is best) 2 tbsp olive oil 4 tbsp butter 4 shallots, minced 2 cups marsala wine (not cooking wine, real wine) 2 tbsp Dijon…

Grilled Pork Chops
How should I describe these pork chops… really freakin’ good. Period. This is what grilled pork chops are supposed to taste like. The Dijon and soy sauce is a great combination that really kicks the flavor to the next level. I’ll be grilling well into the winter to keep eating these things. Yum, yum, yum. Grilled Pork Chops 4 bone-in pork chops 1/4 cup olive oil 1/4 cup soy sauce 1/4 cup Dijon mustard (I used Grey Poupon Country Dijon) 1 tbsp minced garlic 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 1 tsp dried minced onion 1 tsp pepper 1.) Add all marinade ingredients into a gallon Ziploc bag and make sure it…
