Happy Saturday! I'm glad for a couple of free days this weekend to get my ducks in a row. I have no official plans other than to get a few things done around the house and run a couple of errands. I'll devote part of the time to meal planning for the upcoming week. I usually cook a big meal on Sunday that will last for the first part of the work week. One of our favorite go-to meals is my mother-in-law's famous ground pork stir-fry. She gave me this recipe several years ago (it's one of my hubby's favorite meals, so it was an important recipe to master) and we make it frequently. It's extremely easy to prepare and is very versatile. It can be served simply over rice and goes well with a variety of vegetables, including cucumbers or green beans. It can also be wrapped in lettuce for a refreshing twist. It is easily transformed into pork fried rice with just a couple of extra ingredients. It's definitely a favorite comfort food. Give it a try sometime!
