Cooking Tips

🥩 Pork

Brine pork chops for 30 minutes in salt water to keep them juicy.
Cook pork to 145°F (63°C) and rest for 3 minutes — no longer needs to be 160°F.
Low-and-slow is the secret to tender pulled pork — 225°F for 8-10 hours.

Nutrition: Lean pork tenderloin has similar protein content to chicken breast with less fat.

Storage: Refrigerate up to 3-5 days for chops, 1-2 days for ground. Freeze for 4-6 months.

🫛 Green Beans

Blanch in boiling water for 3 minutes, then ice bath for bright green, crisp beans.
Roast at 425°F (220°C) with garlic for the best flavor.
Snap off the stem end but leave the pointy tail — it's perfectly edible.

Nutrition: Good source of vitamins C, K, and fiber. One cup has only 31 calories.

Storage: Refrigerate in a bag for up to 1 week.
