Teriyaki Pork Belly and Sweet Potato

madnad

Things have taken quite a leap forward in the Mutherfudger kitchen. All the painting is done, the kitchen has been installed, and this week, the flooring went down. We have been kept busy for big chunks of the weekend for several weeks now. This means that a dinner that is simple to put together is a life saver.

This dish is quicker to prepare than the time it takes the oven to heat up, then you can sit back and relax while the oven does all the work for you. It’s super tasty too, so a win win in my book.
