Ginger Ale Pork Chops

If you are a fan of ginger, you must try these Ginger Ale Pork Chops. It literally couldn't get any more ginger-y! It has powdered ginger, ginger ale, fresh ginger, and crystallized ginger. It's a tad sweet because of the ginger ale (NO, do not use diet ginger ale!), but it's delicious and topped off with walnuts and golden raisins.

Spicy-Sweet Sambal Pork Noodles

My daughter has a friend at Bon Appétit and he told her this was the best recipe they published this year. She made it and called me immediately to say it was the best thing she's ever eaten! So I made it last night and yes, these Spicy-Sweet Sambal Pork Noodles are all that and a bag of chips as my husband says. It's so good that you should make the full recipe. Apparently, it's even better the next day. Sambal is an Indonesian chili sauce or paste.

Instant Pot Olive Garden Pasta e Fagioli

“Pasta e Fagioli” translates to “pasta and beans” in Italian. This recipe is outstanding. I have to admit I have never even been to an Olive Garden and hope I never do (sorry! I know it sounds snooty, but I just can't go there). I have given both the Instant Pot instructions as well as the stovetop version. This is a real crowd-pleaser. I should have added some chopped Italian Parsley to serve.

Instant Pot Chili

I have many chili recipes, but this is my new favorite. I have given the Instant Pot instructions and also the stovetop instructions. The addition of a small amount of cocoa powder adds a subtle depth of flavor.

Italian Wedding Soup

The term "wedding soup" comes from the Italian language phrase "minestra maritata" ("married soup"), which is a reference to the flavor produced by the combination/"marriage" of greens and meat. The soup has little beef-pork meatballs in a clear broth with greens. It's absolutely delicious!

Miso-Crusted Pork Roast with Apples

This Miso-Crusted Pork Roast with Apples makes an impressive meal for very little effort. If your shoulder comes pre-tied, untie before rubbing with miso, then re-tie. Miso is made from fermented soybeans that adds a salty umami flavor to many Japanese dishes.

Lemonade Pork Chops

I was watching Diners, Drive-ins & Dives and saw this recipe for Lemonade Pork Chops. It's a very interesting recipe, but it got RAVE reviews. These pork chops are great: tender, tangy, and delicious.

Dijon Maple Glazed Spiral Ham

I know this is after Easter, but this ham was phenomenal and the photograph that my daughter Zoe took is even better. The maple glaze caramelizes on the edges of the ham.
