This recipe is just barely modified from Canadian Living as it was pretty much perfect as is. I just cut back on the oil and a touch on the sugar as I felt the extra wasn’t needed and allowed the other flavors to stand out even more!
Pork is another great lean protein option low in both total fat and saturated fat. Mix it up a bit this week and give this recipe a try, you won’t be disappointed!
