Sorry BAP This IS Dinner...Not The Cheerios Or Broccoli

The other night for dinner I made pork with apples, onions and potatoes. It was instantly a hit. We all (of those of us who tried it) loved it. (Note: BAP would not touch his piggie. Hmm...is cheerios and broccoli the fate of the rest of his life.) Anyways I wanted to share the awesome pork recipe. If you do make this recipe, make sure you plan at least 2 days ahead.
