I need to thank Vinny from the meat department at Shop Rite, E. Hartford for the perfect pieces of pork shoulder fort his recipe and for my segment on Better Connecticut.  You are the best Vinny!  

I love making a simple pork shoulder and using it for several recipes!  I created this recipe for my Cook Once Meals or Week cooking segment for Better Connecticut.  

We are cooking this in the oven but you can use this same recipe in your slow cooker for 7-8 hours on medium.  

My apple spiced pork tenderloin gained many smiles at home. The house smelled like cinnamon and apples. This meal pulled together so well and it is a great Paleo Recipe and Gluten Free. You can enjoy this with any fall sides. I made a apple and chestnut stuffing that was the perfect paring! Enjoy

It's Friday night and we are in Massachusetts for December therefore it's all about comfort food in my house. I wanted to use my favorite cast iron pan and make a one pot meal perfect for the 2 of us.  It does take a few steps but I actually served from this pan and the flavors were amazing especially the bacon!

This is a perfect dinner for 2 with maybe some left over for lunch the next day for 1 of you..   Enjoy :)

Chefs Note:  You will find below that I want you to remove the pork at 140 degrees.  You don't want it over cooked and when you continue cooking after adding in the vegetables then let rest a few minutes and slice.  The pork will continue cooking.  

We just love our EGG® and we really need to thank Shop Rite of Manchester and E. Hartford for their generous sponsorship so I can create these new recipes and share them with you!

This is the perfect Paleo Recipe for any holiday or entertaining. Gather your family and friends for a delicious Paleo Dinner. I love making this beautiful roast. You can fill it with anything. If you live in Connecticut check out D&D Market on Franklin Street in Hartford. They are the best butcher in town and will crown the pork for you and they even have a couple of stuffing mixtures to pick from. Ask them for the booties too! If deciding how many ribs I would say the minimum is 12 to make the circle look amazing. But for a larger crowd you can go up to 16 ribs.

PS - I will be replacing this picture tomorrow as I am making one and it will be amazing… I wanted to get the recipe up for you tonight.

This everyday zesty pork chops recipe is a great weeknight dinner! I have noted substitutions if you are following the paleo diet. This recipe is also gluten free and yummy for everyone! Enjoy

This is another great pork loin recipe. The flavor with the ginger glaze just makes this dish amazing! This recipe also follows the paleo diet.

Here a quick and tasty Paleo recipes!  Enjoy pork for dinner!

This is a favorable meal and adding a little wine to the mushrooms made this meal extra special. You can also make a pan gravy with the mushroom. There are so many ways to enjoy a pork tenderloin and with a herb crust and sauté mushrooms. So yummy! Love Italian food..

When I was a little girl my Nana always had Sunday dinner at her house. Even is she was making meatballs she would make an Italian Pork Roast.  I seem to do the same thing as you always want to have enough food... 

I love cutlets!  Sometimes I just want traditional Italian Pork Cutlets.  I top with baby arugula and thinly sliced red onions.  For the dressing I use EVOO and lemon juice.  Then drizzle extra EVOO over the pork and salad.

Be sure to check out what I use for mallet!  

I make this Italian pulled pork recipe often during the summer at our lake house. I can let it cook all day, shred the pork then keep warm until ready to serve.

Pulled pork is a great Paleo Diet recipe using my Italian ingredients. I like adding the hot sauce to give it a little extra kick!

This recipe was inspired when my girlfriend Diana came to the lake for the day and we always have fun in the kitchen.  I was at our local butcher Stearns getting filet mignon for my son Steven.  (Yes I know he is still spoiled) I saw the pork on the counter and the butcher cut several pieces for me fresh.  Their meats are awesome and everyone is always helpful and happy!

Anyway Diana and I started mixing these spices together and realized we were making Mole!  The flavors made this amazing fresh pork another level of perfection that we all enjoyed.  

This paleo recipe is perfect for pork or even chicken!  Go ahead it is so easy and the cocoa really bring the flavors to an amazing level.

Enjoy.

My Nana loved Sunday dinners with the family. This was one of our favorites. We would get up early and start the sauce before church. Then when we got home the roast went into the sauce for the day. The tenderness of this roast is just amazing As a family that loved peas my grandmother added them right on the platter next to the roast covered in sauce. I am so grateful to have these amazing memories! Italian recipes are the best especially bringing families around the table.

My nana always made this dish on the stove top but I have found the slow cooker works great and I don’t need to worry about the stove being on all day! I will share my slow cooker recipe with you but if you want to make this on the stove – just keep in on low all day!

I love Sunday dinners in the slow cooker.  My Nana always made a Sunday sauce and I just loved when we had Pork Roast.  We would add peas to the platter and pour lots of sauce over the pork. This dish is amazing and is perfect for meal prep during the week.  I love to serve with zucchini noodles or sauté a bunch of greens.  

Note: Because I used a large piece of pork I asked the butcher to tie with kitchen twine. It just kept the roast together and made it easier to take out of the slow cooker and put on a platter.  Then grab a tong and fork as it just falls apart!  Go ahead and use your fingers to taste it.. I did...  

This stuffing reminds me of my Nana’s pork stuffing.  She called it pork butt stuffing didn’t add bread to hers so I guess we enjoyed a Paleo stuffing!  This is my favorite way to enjoy stuffing but I am guilty of pouring gravy and topping with cranberry sauce.

Italian Paleo OMG Ragù!  This was simply amazing.  We are at our lake house for the summer and our friends came over. I had a super busy day and while at the butcher deciding what to make the pork butt looked amazing.

I did serve this dish with a creamy polenta.  I am Italian!!  What can I say...  If you want to keep it Paleo then serve with sauté vegetables or sauté garlic spinach (I do that a lot).

Anyway..  Enjoy..

PS:  This freezes well and taste even better the next day!  You can also prepare this meal in your slow cooker.

When we were in Germany this past October I brought back Sausages and Pork Belly.  I used the veal sausages a while ago and decided to use the pork belly to make tacos. I remember the steamed buns we had in Germany were amazing but I don't have all of the ingredients and a steamer.  So I thought about being creative and it really worked!  Glenn thought I made them from scratch - I may or may not have told him how they were really made...

Pork chops seem to be popular these days! I love mine with mushrooms and rosemary gravy. This is a great weeknight paleo recipes for the entire family to enjoy!

Here is another one pot recipe that you can prepare, cook and serve in 30 minutes with no mess to clean after!  Just the pot and your plates.  Enjoy this paleo recipe for 2!  

If you want to know my "secret ingredient" to make the sauce in this dish and some of my others extremely special...   It's adding a little Dijon Mustard in the broth.  I promise once you try it - You will add it to many of your dishes!  Go ahead..  try it..  

Here is the cooking video on this recipe!

I just love my one-pot recipes!  Especially when I cook in a beautiful pan then serve form it as well.  You get to scoop up all of the extra flavors.  

You can add any potatoes (sweet as well and just chop them up) but the colorful baby potatoes just looked to amazing and I couldn't pass it up.  Hubby really enjoyed this meal after a long trip to NYC!

Oh and before I forget - This is also a 30 minute meal and a perfect dinner for 2!
