  1. My DH loves snow peas so I thought he would love this and he did. The flavors in the sauce are so good. This is really a wonderful stir fry.

  2. Just excellent! The flavors in this are amazing - didn't change a thing! I prepped everything in advance, so putting this together went rather quickly and easily. DH says it's the best pork dish he's ever had! I'm tempted to agree! Next time I make this (and there will be many more times to come!), I 'll take a photo. This just looked and smelled so good, we didn't take time to photograph...
     
  3. I really enjoyed this! The pork was flavorful and tender, and the sugar snap peas were bright and crisp. I think shredded carrots would be a wonderful addition. The flavors are wonderful, and I'll make this again. Thanks for sharing! Made for Photo Tag!
     
  4. What a great new way for me to prepare pork! Very, very tasty & thoroughly enjoyable! Maybe just slightly more spicy than I usually do, but still a very nice change of pace & worth making again, for sure! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]

Hello! I have a wonderful husband and two fantastic kids. I love to read, have fun with family and friends, stay active with: running; soccer; golf; biking; hiking; and gardening. I love to travel. I'm looking forward to more international travel someday. Cooking has become a passion for me. I love to read cookbooks, watch the Food Network, and try new recipes. I have way too many cookbooks! A few of my favorites are: Barefoot Contessa (any - but especially 'Family Style'),Rachael Ray 30-Minute Meals 2, Roasting by Barbara Kafka, Beyond Parsley & The Black Dog Summer on the Vineyard Cookbook. I try to carefully choose recipes that I think my family will enjoy, which is why most of my ratings are 3-5 stars. Happy cooking!
