We're feeling like it's time for tacos. We haven't posted any recipes for tacos yet, so it's obviously time. We decided to go with something a little less traditional by making tacos with pulled pork instead of ground beef. We also had to have a good side so beans were a perfect option. Let's dive in!

There is SO much flavor packed into this that you will be blown away and amazed at how delicious it is. Now, I'm not a huge fan of balsamic vinegar, but I've found that if used correctly it tastes amazing!!

Welcome back! Here is another delicious dinner recipe. We were thinking of doing something with a 'Thai' flare to it and we came up with this. It doesn't have any heavy sauces or tricky spices to it. It actually doesn't even really taste like traditional Thai cuisine. Instead, it's a simple pork chop with sugar snap peas and jasmine rice. If you're not a fan of the snappy peas go for just regular sweet peas. I do insist that you use jasmine rice over any other rice though. It has such a great flavor and texture. It's my all-time favorite rice! Let's get started! Generously serves a family of 4 Ingredients 2 Pineapple Cups   (it was so much easier to use these instead of cutting up a fresh pineapple and I usually have them on hand because the kids really like them as an after-school snack) 12oz Sugar Snap Peas (fresh or frozen) 1 cup Jasmine Rice 1/4c Cilantro 4 Boneless Pork Chops 1 Shallot 2 Limes 4 Tsp Honey Olive Oil Salt and Peppe...
