For family reunions, my mom would make everybody's favorite green bean and potato salad. Now I'm the one who brings it.

This pork hominy stew, also known as pozole, is a delicious southwestern delicacy. I moved it to the slow cooker so it can simmer away on its own. The rich, brothy soup is delicious, much like a tamale in a bowl.

Pork simmers with jalapenos, onion, green enchilada sauce and spices in this flavor-packed Mexican dish. It is fantastic on its own or stuffed in a warm tortilla with sour cream, grated cheese or olives on the side.

Serving this entree salad gives me hope that warmer days aren't too far off. If strawberries aren't in season yet, use thawed frozen in place of fresh.

I like how grilled pork and fruit bring out the best in each other. If you have leftover relish, break out the tortilla chips!

In our family we love stuffing instead of potatoes. Add a vegetable and you have a fantastic meal.

This is a great at-home date night recipe. I use reduced-sodium chicken broth because I add salt to season the meat and mushrooms.

A colorful stir-fry comes together in no time with leftover long grain rice. Quick and easy, this family favorite takes just minutes to prepare.

My husband and I collaborated on these pork chops with sun-dried tomatoes, bacon and rosemary. They’re easy enough for any day and fancy enough for special events.
