It’s a common misconception that all pork products are bad for you. Sure, you want to stick to modest — and only occasional — servings of fatty, salty bacon, but lean cuts of pork are just as low in fat and calories as chicken breast. If you’re bored with the same old chicken recipes, give these five healthy pork recipes a try.
1) Tacos
Prep ahead of time and let your slow cooker do the work in this dish. Not in the mood for tacos? Use this meat to make pulled pork sandwiches instead.
RECIPE: Slow-Cooker Pork Tacos
2) Potstickers
This easy and fun dumpling recipe makes fabulous appetizers (a half pound of meat makes 40 servings!), but remember that ground pork tends to be a little higher in fat than loin cuts. When using it, stick to smaller portions.
RECIPE: Perfect Potstickers
3) Chops
Pork chops are a loin cut, which means they’re super lean (a.k.a. low fat and high protein). This recipe’s special glaze and quick cooking ensures the meat won’t dry out.
RECIPE: Chipotle Orange Glazed Pork Chops
4) Tenderloin
One of the best things about pork tenderloin is how quickly it cooks. Let the meat sit a few minutes in a flavorful marinade, then cook a few more in the oven or on the grill and, voila, dinner is ready.
RECIPE: Herb-Marinated Pork Tenderloins
5) Fried Rice
Turn those leftovers into a completely new creation. This combo of pork, rice and veggies is a satisfying meal all by itself.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
I’m really loving the theme/design of your weblog. Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility issues? A couple of my blog readers have complained about my blog not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Chrome. Do you have any ideas to help fix this issue?
If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren’t loading properly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same results.
