Pork

I spent 13 years working for farmers and sharing how to keep pork tender and juicy while it’s cooking, so we’ve got great tips on how to make the best pork chops in the Oven or on the Grill.

Sausage is easy to prepare and always a crowd favorite.  Kielbasa & Noodles with Cabbage is a new meal we enjoy regularly. For a quick meal in the oven we love this Sheet Pan Sausage Meal. A couple other stove top favorites are Sausage Fried Rice and Sausage Jambalaya. 

My husband is proud of his German heritage and will ask for Country Style Ribs & Sauerkraut.

One of our classic farmhouse breakfast recipes is Bob Evans Sausage Gravy.

Our Creamy Pork Chop Casserole, Farmhouse Ham Loaf and Ham Balls are more tried and true favorites.

We’re proud that both sides of our family raise pork.  Our son even raises a couple of pigs each year in 4-H.  When you buy pork in any grocery store you are supporting farm families like ours all over the USA!
