Oriental Pork & Rice RECIPE + Lunch Made Easy with Leftovers!

Finding delicious and quick weeknight meals isn't always easy. Especially when trying to accomodate a gluten free diet, nut allergy, and a picky fella's appetite (he's a simple meat & potato kinda guy).

Food for Thought: Crockpot Love - Cranberry Pork

I've made this recipe before in my crockpot/ slow cooker but the first time I made it with a Pork Loin. It was apparently so good, my boyfriend and Little Miss at it all before I even got home from work! (lol, they did ask if it was OK first ;).)
