Farmer John Extra Lean Ground Pork

By: Lizabeth | Mar 28, 2008

I couldn't resist picking up a pack of Farmer John Extra Lean Ground Pork - it was the "extra lean" bit that reeled me in. First, I made my spectacular meatloaf by mixing the exra lean pork with extra-lean beef. The result was juicy, hearty, delicious meatloaf that pleased even my doubting dad. This went over so well that I also decided to make traditional potstickers, which just don't taste the same when made with ground poultry. Surprise! The results were equally fabulous - not dry, like with a lot of lean ground meat, and not greasy, like regular ground pork.

South Beach Diet Savory Pork and Green Beans

By: Tanya Patrice | Feb 22, 2008

South Beach Diet Savory Pork and Green Beans has "tender pieces of pork in a savory sauce with onions, celery and pecans with seasoned green beans and yellow peppers." When you look at this product after taking it out of the box and microwaving it, there is not much to it - pork in a sauce on one side of the tray and green beans on the other side. It actually looks like food you would serve in an institution like a prison or a mental facility. But, I guess that's what South Beach is about, boring, ummm ... I mean, getting back to basics - just meat and vegetables.

When I got down to eating this meal, it wasn't too bad, but there certainly isn't any wow factor. It's something you would eat and then 1 hour later wonder if you ate lunch because you just can't remember actually eating - it is that forgettable. Nevertheless, the pork is tender as they say, and since they didn't have to make any room for that carby pasta or rice, there is plenty meat and green beans. The green beans themselves are also forgettable. I have had quite a few frozen meals where I stop and say, I can't believe the vegetables were that crisp even after I microwaved it. Not so with this. Again, they aren't bad, just ... there.
