When I first think about my shopping list for our upcoming meal plans I often start with the protein portion of a meal. Now that the rain has stopped and summer is on the horizon here in Colorado we are thinking all things grilled!  One of my go to protein options is Smithfield All Natural Fresh Pork.  
We love saving money so I have to share this deal with you. Earn $.75 when you purchase (1) Smithfield All Natural Fresh Pork (while supplies last) by using Ibotta!

At first my kids were a little resistant when I told them there was “jelly” on the pork chops but once they tasted it the both at it up fast!  I love being able to prepare a great meal in less than 30 minutes that my whole family enjoys.  Great for those busy work days after Taekwondo and dance class.

    For years I have been telling people I don't like pork. But now I am realizing I'm just not a fan of plain pork. Made like this I would be all about seconds! – Katy

    I'm so excited to hear your kids like it! It's been a challenge getting my kids to try new things, maybe if we make this together they'll give it a shot!
