This page has some recipes for pork, mostly pork chops, which of course is the hubby's favorite. When I cook pork chops I just dip them in flour and put them in a frying pan in a little oil, salt and pepper them, and brown them on both sides. Then I cover them, and turn the heat to low, and let them simmer till tender. Delicious.

This is an easy recipe that I cook all the time. Great for those cold winter days too.

Peel about 5 potatoes (or however big your family is) quarter them, and add the potatoes to the pork.
Add a chopped onion and carrots if you like. Cook till potatoes fall apart with a fork. Add salt and pepper to taste.
