Our family loves pork and I'm always on the lookout for new recipes using it. I found this recently in my mother's recipe box and it is fabulous!
1 lb. boneless pork loin- trimmed
1/3 cup orange juice
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 t sugar
1 t dried oregano, crushed
3 cloves garlic, minced
Place pork in plastic bag in shallow dish. Combine juices, sugar, garlic and oregano. Pour over pork. Seal bag and refrigerate over night- turning several times. Drain marinade and place roast on rack in shallow pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake at 350 degrees for 60 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.

With a sharp knife, make slits or pockets in the pork loin -- one for every whole garlic clove. Insert the whole cloves and pinch of oregano into each slit. Set aside. In medium bowl, combine oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well. Pour over pork loin and refrigerate 6-24 hours. Preheat oven to 350.

6-8 pork ribs

1 large bottle BBQ sauce

Spray crock pot with cooking spray. Cut onion into small chunks and throw in crock pot. Empty beans on top of onions. Lay ribs on top of beans. Cover with BBQ sauce and cook on high for 6 hours. Serve with Tony's Taters for a yummy dinner!
TIP OF THE DAY: You can use frozen meat in your crock pot- just add about 2 hours to the cooking time.

Pulled Pork BBQ Sandwiches
This is a great crock pot recipe for a busy day. Just toss all of the ingredients inside and turn it on. When you get home at the end of the day, your house will smell fabulous and dinner will be ready.
1 pork roast
1 small white onion, diced
1 bottle BBQ sauce
garlic powder
minced onion
pepper
salt
1 cup water (I actually just fill the BBQ sauce bottle with water to get all of the BBQ sauce out)
Spray crock pot with cooking spray. Place roast in crock pot and cover with remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Pull pork apart with fork and serve on buns with coleslaw for a great dinner!
TIP OF THE DAY: To make any BBQ dish that was made inside taste like it was cooked outside, add a tiny bit of Liquid Smoke- which can be found near the spices at the grocery store. A tiny bit will make it seem like your meat was smoked outside for hours. I add it to this roast as well as to a brisket or ribs I cook in the oven.

Mushroom Pork Chops and Potatoes
My sweet mother made this often and it's one of my little family's favorites. My dad often requests this when I come to visit because he loves it and misses it so much!
4-6 lean pork chops with bones
4 baking potatoes
1 cup sour cream (I use low fat)
2 cans cream of mushroom soup (I use low fat)
1/2 onion, sliced
1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
salt
pepper
Sprinkle with salt and pepper and brown pork chops in large frying pan- about 4 minutes on each side. Do not worry about cooking them completely- they will finish cooking while in the oven. Wash and peel potatoes. Slice potatoes in thin slices. In large bowl mix sour cream, soup, onion and mushrooms. Add potato slices and mix till combined. Add more salt and pepper if desired. Spray 9 x 13 inch pan with cooking spray. Pour potato mixture into pan and then place pork chops on top. Cover with foil. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
TIP OF THE DAY: To cut the cooking time down on this dish, peel potatoes, boil them briefly, and then cut into small pieces. The smaller the pieces, the less time it takes to cook.
