Our Family’s Favorite Meals: Sweet & Sour Pork

I have shared before that our family loves pork loin and pork chops. Whenever we have leftovers of either one I like to use the meat to make sweet & sour pork.

I serve the sweet and sour pork over cooked rice and usually serve it with a vegetable like brussels sprouts and fruit. If you would like to see how I make this recipe, check out the link below. This is definitely a yummy way to enjoy leftover pork.
