Bourbon Molasses-Glazed Grilled Pork Tenderloin
“I love to cook tenderloins. They are all meat and so tender and good. Marinating them in bourbon, molasses, and coffee just makes them better.” – Marsha
Country Sausage Stuffed Zucchini Squash
“Since I am the only one in my house that eats squash of any type I made this for lunch and just created it! I made this for just me but I had enough left over to eat the next day. I only had small zucchini that I had purchased to use in another recipe but it was in dire need to use. You will have to adjust this recipe if using more squash. It turned out really good.” – Janice
Grilled Pork Kabobs
“Here is one of my family’s favorite grilled meals. I serve up some potato salad along with this and sometimes we pull the pork off the skewers and serve inside pocket/pita bread. Hope you enjoy it!” – Shelley
Italian Spiced Pork Chops
“I used the zesty Italian dressing mix and omitted the red pepper flakes. These have a very nice flavor. You can also use sliced pork tenderloin.” – Carla
Marinated Grilled Pork Tenderloin
“I wow people all the time with this pork tenderloin. People come back, not for seconds, but for thirds and fourths. It is just so savory, tender, and juicy. I frequently grill these loins for large parties, such as my Mom’s retirement party or large family gatherings.” – Gina
Nor’s Fall Off the Bone Baby Back Ribs and Sauce
“These ribs fall off the bone. I have been making my ribs this way for years. This is my recipe for my own sauce for baby back ribs and chicken. It is a sweet honey brown sugar sauce infused with garlic. My family loves it. I know you will as well.” – Nor
Overnight Pulled Pork
“I used to get up early in the morning to put this in the oven. Then thought, why don’t I just put it in before I go to bed? I tried it and it worked great. Although when you wake up during the night you wonder what you are smelling! I love the crispiness of the pork on top and the tenderness underneath that. I love to make pulled pork sandwiches on good buns or bread with extra sauce and yummy coleslaw. Leftovers make great tacos, burritos, or pulled pork nachos. It also freezes great for later use.” – Mary
Breaded Pork Tenderloin Sandwiches
“A BLAST FROM THE PAST – Tender pork tenderloin pounded thin and breaded in Corn Flake crumbs and fried to a golden brown. If any of you know anything about Indiana this is one of the state’s signature sandwiches. This is how my mom used to make them.” – Julia
Grilled Citrus and Garlic Pork Chops
“I had a different taste for pork chops so I came up with this recipe. It’s simple, quick, and delicious.” – Claudine
Japanese Kabobs
“This is one of my family’s favorites especially when I have the kids put their kabobs together themselves.” – giovannina
David’s BBQ Pork Ribs
“This recipe is one I came up with one day when wanting something different for my BBQ ribs other than BBQ sauce. So if you are wanting to try something different next time you BBQ pork ribs give it a try. You’ll be glad you did! This recipe gives ribs an incredible flavor that you just need to try. Use it on any pork you wish to BBQ. Pork steaks, baby back ribs, spare ribs, short ribs country-style ribs, or St Louis-style ribs. All of my family and friends that have tried this recipe, ask for it every time I BBQ. Enjoy! And as always, Bon Appetite!” – David
East, West & South Applewood Smoked Pork Chops
“Once I’m done with the sauce – I let it cool and purée it in a bullet or blender – ummm, delicious! I just like experimenting. These pork chops became an alternative to frying for me. If you don’t have a smoker just grill them with some applewood flavoring of some kind – Bon Appetit.” – Marion
Grilled Pork Tenderloin With Blueberry Sauce
“This is an unusual but attractive pork tenderloin recipe.” – Joan
Raspberry Balsamic Chipotle Grilled Pork Chops Recipe
“A recipe for Raspberry Balsamic Chipotle Grilled Pork Chops : Grilled pork chops in a tasty balsamic raspberry chipotle bbq sauce!” – Kevin
Cilantro Lime Pulled Pork Tacos
“If someone told me they didn’t like tacos my first thought would be ‘Who the heck doesn’t like tacos?’ my next thought would be ‘I don’t think we can be friends anymore’ #sorrynotsorry lol! If I had to eat one thing the rest of my life it would probably be tacos. They are versatile and can be made from any kind of meat or even with veggies.” – Debbie
