Toad in the Hole

You know that something with a name like this is going to be good and this truly is! The traditional recipe itself is very simple but the method for making it is not, so I developed this "cold oven cheater method" which is much safer and easier. The end result is an amazing flavor and texture combination of juicy sausages, crispy, puffed, and tender Yorkshire pudding, and delicious onion gravy. And the gravy is so good you'll want to eat it on just about anything (and everything!)

Pork, Sauerkraut and Dumplings

Pork roast and kraut slow-cooked and served with dumplings and sauerkraut 'gravy.' This recipe was from my mother's very German family. She always served it with mashed potatoes, creamed peas, and applesauce. Sometimes she baked the roast and kraut separately. We always have this on New Year's Day. I usually double the recipe for the dumplings. My mother didn't make hers with beer, but I have added this over the years to taste.

Wine and Garlic Pork (Portuguese Vina Dosh)

Ahh, "vina dosh," this Portuguese wine and garlic pork recipe is my family's tradition to make during Christmas. The recipe started getting passed down more than 80 years ago when my grandparents came to America from the Azore Islands! And now, I'm sharing the recipe that was passed down to me with you. It's easy to make but requires a lot of patience to wait for the marinade to do its magic. But, oh so worth the wait! Serve it with Portuguese linguiça, a pot of semi-sweet, bacon-laced baked beans, and some Portuguese sweet bread. Hawaiian sweet bread works in a pinch. You can use white wine or red wine in the marinade.

Barbecued Pork Skewers

These BBQ pork skewers are perfect for summer entertaining. When you're in the mood for barbecued pork, you have two options: pork ribs or a slowly smoked pork shoulder made into pulled pork. But what if you want something different? In that case, these BBQ pork skewers come highly recommended. And no, we're not just sticking chunks of pork on a stick! This is way more advanced and way more delicious. Garnish with thinly sliced green onion and drizzle with extra barbecue sauce if you like.

Pork Agrodolce

Agrodolce, a generic Italian term for any type of sweet and sour condiment, really shines when used for braising chunks of succulent pork shoulder. This soul-warming comfort food is amazing served on rice, pasta, polenta, or, as seen here, a big pile of ricotta mashed potatoes. I'm not sure if Italians barbecue like we do here in the States, but the sauce very much reminded me of something we'd brush on a rack of ribs while sipping a cold beer.

Easy Slow Cooker Apple Pork Roast

My husband doesn't like BBQ sauce, but we had a pork roast. I whipped this up in the slow cooker, and it was awesome served with broccoli and rice, and also as pulled pork sandwiches for the 2 kids and hubby for a few days without them getting tired of it! It got better and better until it was gone, so I figured it was worth sharing. You let me know what you think!

This recipe is great if you're looking for a make-ahead meal. Pulled pork is great served on fresh baked rolls or pita bread with sharp Cheddar cheese and coleslaw. You can serve the pork as is or mix in your favorite BBQ sauce.

Slow Cooker Beer Pulled Pork

My recipe for pulled pork is simple: 1 can of beer, a 5- to 6-pound pork butt, seasonings, and a bottle of barbecue sauce. My beer choice is Shiner Bock, and my barbecue sauce choice is Sweet Baby Ray's. Just put it in a slow cooker before you go to bed, and when you wake up the magic has happened. See for yourself! Serve on onion buns or hamburger buns.
