The meals I make most often are usually the ones I forget to document for Worthy Pause. I’ve made this sausage skillet thing many, many times, but it never even crossed my mind that it might be a good recipe to share here until the other day when my daughter was scarfing it down like she hadn’t eaten all day (note: she hadn’t eaten all day because she had refused all the other foods).

The other day, a friend of mine said to me, "I don't really like pork chops."

I kept my mouth shut, but inside I was like, "That's inconceivable. I will bet a kajillion dollars that you've never eaten a properly cooked pork chop."

The best paleo Thanksgiving dinner starts with this stuffing recipe.

You learn something new every day. The day I made these stuffed mushrooms, I learned that you can make pretty fantastic hummus out of meat.

These aren't like Cuban-style meatballs in a sandwich... they are Cubano Sandwich Meatballs. Yes, my friend. Yes.

Hot salads are a thing.

Kimchi and bacon really stack the deck on this one.

Growing up, my mom made only one version of pork chops. This was not it.

Always forgetting how long it takes to cook bacon in the oven? I gotchoo.

These Chipotle-inspired carnitas have been my go-to slow-cooker recipe for as long as I've owned a slow cooker.
