My secrets to the most incredible Pork Roast
Are you craving a chance for deeper connection with your kids?
Picture this…6 kids all sitting around a table, laughing so loud the house rumbles, eating with dirty hands from chores, spilling milk, dropping supper on the floor, BUT truly enjoying each others company.
Yup, that’s what a typical meal in our household looks like.
And I never complain about the messes, the loudness, or the dirty hands anymore. WHY?
It’s not pretty, it’s not quiet, BUT ITS MAGICAL.
We have taught our kids that meal time is not just for nourishing our bodies but also our souls.
And they seldom complain about what’s on their plates because that’s not why we’re here.
We sit down to a meal that's more than just sustenance; but a time for us to connect as a family.

But this isn't just about satisfying hunger. It's about building deeper relationships. It's about showing our kids the importance of coming together, sharing stories, and relishing nourishing food that we got to raise.
In our home, sitting down to supper together isn't just a routine; it's a priority. It's a time for bonding, laughter, and lessons in mindfulness.
And it’s a chance for YOU to do the same.
You'll not only enjoy the flavors of the pork roast but also experience the love, care, and dedication that go into every meal you make for your family.
You’ll get to connect with your kids and teach them where their food comes from which not many parents get the chance to do.
It's a reminder that farm-to-table isn't just about ingredients; it's about the connections we make with each other and the land that sustains us.

The Perfect Pork Roast
Ingredients:
3-4 pounds of Wholesome Family Pork roast
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
2 sprigs of fresh thyme
1 lemon, zested and juiced
2 tablespoons of olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup of chicken or vegetable broth
1/2 cup of dry white wine (optional)
Instructions:
Preheating your oven to 350°F .
Place the pork roast on a clean cutting board and pat it dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, lemon zest, rosemary, thyme, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Rub this mixture generously all over the pork roast. Make sure to get into all the nooks and crannies.
This is my SECRET do NOT skip this step—Heat a heavy oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides.
Remove the seared pork roast from the skillet and set it aside.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and white wine (if using) into the skillet, scraping up any flavorful bits from the bottom. Return the pork roast to the skillet and drizzle with the lemon juice. Place the fresh rosemary and thyme sprigs on top.
Cover the skillet or Dutch oven with a lid or foil and transfer it to the preheated oven. Roast the pork for approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
For a crispier crust, you can remove the lid or foil during the last 20 minutes of roasting.
Once done, remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork roast rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Slice the pork roast into thin, succulent pieces, and serve with the pan juices for added flavor.
So there you have it—a mouthwatering pork roast recipe that embodies the dedication I have for you and your family and the love we put into every meal.
I know your kids will appreciate an amazing meal after a hard practice.
So, as you dig in take a moment to celebrate the beautiful connection between the farm and your table. AND the opportunity to connect as a family.
Here's to good food, great company, and the stories we share over supper. Enjoy!
