Mmmmm, Pork... National Pork Month!




Cooking dinner every day falls upon my shoulders. Sometimes this is a laborious task and I loathe it, but I still plow through it because my family needs to eat (and heck, so do I!). I also like to switch up  my meals so my family isn't eating the same thing every week.

October is National Pork Month (did you know that?) and to celebrate, Costco is having a PORK SALE! 

Here are the official deets on the Costco sale: 


"To celebrate October as National Pork Month, Costco is offering discounts on top pork cuts from chops and roasts to pork tenderloin and boneless loins. Costco members can take advantage of weekly savings ranging from $2.00-$2.50.

Between October 15 and October 21, Tenderloin is $2.50 off. Juicy and delicious, the tenderloin is your holiday entertaining hero. With its versatility and quick cook time, the tenderloin is among the most flavorful, guilt-free party food: ounce for ounce, it is as lean as a boneless, skinless chicken breast.

Pork Makes the Party: 
Pork’s versatility and its ability to pair perfectly with a variety of foods and flavors makes it perfect for bringing people together this holiday season.  This holiday season celebrate pork as the catalyst that “makes” any party – join in!

Temperature News: The USDA reduced the temperature guideline for pork loins, chops and roasts from 160 to 145 degrees F, with a three minute rest. This will yield a juicy, flavorful product that may be pinker in color than most home cooks are used to. Ground pork, like all ground meat, should be cooked to 160 degrees. "
Check out this great video with a yummy recipe to help switch things up in your kitchen. 



Mmmmm, right?

To help Costco and the National Pork Board want to help you get in the swing of things and switch it up in your kitchen. To do this, I'm giving away $50 in Costco Cash.

All you need to do to enter is tell me your favorite pork recipe. 

Easy, huh?

I am participating in a campaign for the Motherhood and was compensated for this post.
