Teriyaki Pork

1 Cup Water
1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
3/4 Cup Soy Sauce
1/4 Cup Lemon Juice
1/4 Cup Oil
1 tsp Pepper
1 tsp Garlic (I like to use minced garlic that you can find in the refrigerated produce section)

Mix ingredients together.  Separate in half.  Put half on top of about a pound pork to marinade.  I like to put it in a Ziploc bag so I can turn it over several times throughout the day.  After you cook the pork boil the other half to use as a sauce to top rice, peas or other veggies, the pork, pretty much your whole meal.  YUMMINESS!

This recipe can also be used for chicken, beef, whatever.

Welcome

Welcome to our recipe blog! For as long as I can remember, my family has raised our own pork. My parents would buy baby pigs in the spring, raise them over the summer, and then butcher them in the fall. The pigs would come back from the butcher in little white packages, and we would feast on them throughout the next year. This past summer, my husband and I decided to buy half a pig--the left side--and we've been excited to have our freezer loaded up with pork chops, bacon, ham, pork roasts, sausage, and spare ribs. But, this also presented a problem. How many different ways can a person cook pork chops? I figured that my sisters probably are wondering the same thing, so I started this blog as a way to share our pork recipes--and other recipes too, of course! Enjoy and please leave us comments, especially if you suggestions!
