MONEY SAVING RECIPES

There is a great sale on Fresh Pork Sirloin Chops at Albertsons (98 cents lb) and I found a delicious recipe for pork fried rice meal that is amazing!  Follow this link to Betty Crocker's Pork Fried Rice recipe.  Also perfect for the season is a baked sweet potato recipe with pecans from Food Network.  Sweet Potatoes are on sale at Albertsons too!
