sweet and sour pork
(1 RATING)
This is another recipe from Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook. My husband fixes this for me. He doesn't care that much for Asian food, but he makes me meals for special occasions, as well as, when he has time to cook at other times. So, when he makes this, it is a special time.
