One pork knuckle gave me six meals.

On Saturday night, I cooked a pork knuckle for dinner and had enough leftover for four more meals. Here is what I did with that one pork knuckle for readers on a budget and cooking for one.

  1. Impressive!!!! Love your adding it to ‘salad’ bits for lunch snacking. Stretching out a piece of meat is so much fun. So many ways to enjoy one product. How large was that knuckle? Wonder if I could find those here in EOregon?
