Pork, Apple and Cabbage Rice Bowl

Chris and I try and cook at least four meals at home each week so I thought it would be a cool idea to share this Pork, Apple and Cabbage Rice Bowl with y’all this week. It’s definitely a favorite around here. Chris found it in Men’s Health Magazine a few months back and boy is it delicious and super easy! It’s definitely on rotation around our house. He’s modified it a little from the original recipe so here is how he prepares it. Bon Appetit!
