Every time I post a pork recipe, I start out by reminding you that I don't really care for pork but I make it for my husband.  Well, it's time that I stop kidding myself and make an admission, so here goes:  I, Christine, like pork!

I guess before I started cooking pork myself, I had only been served dry, gray, choke it down kind of pork.  Sorry, if anyone reading this has prepared pork for me.  It's nothing personal, but your pork is blah.

It seems, you all, my readers, are way ahead of me in the admission to loving pork.  I see it in my stats whenever I look at the reports.  Some of the most viewed recipes here and from my Pinterest boards are pork recipes.  As a matter of fact, my Stuffed Pork Tenderloin is my most viewed recipe ever and it has been pinned over 10,000 times.  While that Stuffed Pork Tenderloin seems to be your favorite, one of my all time favorite recipes is actually the Pesto Mozzarella Stuffed Pork Chop.  It's easy and has so much flavor, it's one you should definitely try if you haven't yet.  Did I mention it's easy?

So now that I've admitted to liking pork, I'll tell you something about this pork loin recipe.  Um, I loved it!  Mmm, hmmm.  Yep, me, loved a pork dish.  It's full of aromatic spices that will have you salivating while it's roasting.  Plus, that little bit of orange zest just makes the whole thing pop!

I served my pork loin sliced over yellow rice but it could certainly go with mashed potatoes too.
