Indian Spiced Crusted Pork Tenderloin
Indian Spiced Crusted Pork Tenderloin is tender and flavorful. I love to make tenderloins, especially during a busy week, because they don't take long to make. This one features a crusty, crunchy coating.

Balsamic Roast Pork Tenderloin
Here is a super easy weeknight meal idea. Pork Tenderloin is one of the most versatile cuts of meat you can buy. It cooks very fast at a very high heat. I happened to have balsamic glaze, which worked well because it stays on the meat. You can use regular balsamic vinegar.

Cider Braised Pork Chops with Apples
I've made many versions of pork chops and apples. I really like this one. I actually made a mistake and used apple cider vinegar instead of apple cider. It worked, though you might want to try it the way it's meant to be.

Prosciutto Ring
There was this Italian bakery on Bleecker Street in New York city called Zito's that sold this prosciutto bread that was to die for. We would buy it and eat the entire loaf, usually with a bottle of wine (after office hours, of course). For some reason, I thought of it the other day and called up my friend and ex boss to ask her what the name of the bakery was. I could not remember it. Unfortunately, Zito's went out of business. I trolled around the internet and found this recipe, which is as close as you're ever going to get to the real thing.

Ham and Split Pea Soup
Every year I make some sort of soup using the ham hock from Christmas dinner. I happened to have a very large bag of split peas, which I like because you don't have to soak them overnight. Serve it with a loaf of crusty bread and a salad. You can just use chopped up ham, if you do not have a ham hock on hand.

Sage Crusted Pork Chops
To Brine or Not to Brine, that is the question
Brining is a process similar to marinating in which meat is soaked in brine before cooking. Brining makes cooked meat moister by hydrating the cells of its muscle tissue before cooking, via the process of osmosis, and by allowing the cells to hold on to the water while they are cooked.

Pork Chops with Figs in Hard Cider
Williams Sonoma recently posted a recipe for pork with figs. We have an enormous fig tree in the back yard and I am always trying to figure out ways to use them. The crows, squirrels and parrots get most of them. Anyway, I tried this recipe and used pork chops instead of tenderloin. It was excellent and I got to use up some more figs!
