23.5 oz can chunk pineapple (not drained)

INSTRUCTIONS:

SPRINKLE: Sprinkle with garlic powder and salt/pepper.

TOP: Top with pineapple, the juice, and soy sauce.

SPREAD: Spread brown sugar evenly over the pork loin.

COOK: Cook on low 6-8 hours OR on high 4-5 hours until fork tender.

SERVE: I served mine with rice and mashed potatoes (because Big Daddy doesn't like rice) and steamed vegetables.

Hello everyone!

I made a new to me recipe last night and since it was such a winner, I decided to post here for future reference. I definitely will be making this again.

Pineapple Pork Loin tastes very much like Hawaiian Chicken except it's a ton easier. The combo of pineapple and soy sauce is just over the top wonderful. Doug and I both loved it! If you like pork and sweet, asian flavors, you're going to love it too.

Lately, my Gerbes / Dillons grocery has been having huge discounts on pork loin. I found several for $1.29/lb. Cannot beat that! Pork loin is our favorite cut of pork and I like to keep a few in the freezer for meals like this, for slicing as pork chops, and for making our go-to Tangy Pulled Pork. Pork loin is lean and that's a must have at our house.

If you are looking for a cozy Sunday Supper, or weeknight crockpot meal, try this Pineapple Pork Loin. You will love it and will be adding it to your family favorites!

Enjoy!

Best Dill Pickles EVER! (Just like Claussen) (Easy - no canning!)

Do you want to make the best, easiest homemade dill pickles in the world? I found a recipe for dill pickles that tastes JUST LIKE Claussen refrigerator pickles. Those are the best anyway, right? That crunch, the dill and the garlic... and oh yea , the crunch! This recipe is super easy because you don't have to process these pickles which means there is no canning needed. You just fill a gallon jar (we use an old pickle jar) with fresh cucumbers and dill heads, and then pour over the cooled liquids/seasonings. Let it sit on the counter for three days, and then refrigerate. After that, the pickle eating begins. They are supposed to keep for one year like that in the fridge, without canning. (We let them sit for the 3 days, then refrigerated them overnight before opening the jar for the much anticipated first taste. Did they taste like Claussen? YOU BET YOUR PRETTY PICKLE THEY DID! We were all SO ex...

Buttermilk Biscuits - Just like Cracker Barrel!

RECIPES AT THE TOP - CHIT CHAT AT THE BOTTOM! Here's how we make Buttermilk Biscuits AT HOME MY WAY: Buttermilk Biscuits (just like Cracker Barrel) (Makes about 8 biscuits.) PRINTABLE RECIPE HERE Ingredients: 2 cups SELF RISING flour (self rising flour gives the perfect taste to homemade biscuits) 1/3 cup shortening (cold real butter also works here) 1 1/4 cup buttermilk* *NOTE: (If using regular milk combined with lemon juice vinegar referenced below, you only need 1 cup of milk because thinner regular milk uses less by volume than the thick real buttermilk.)
