Never mixed orange and oregano together but I love both. I also love cooking with oregano and basil. But then again, I love rosemary also. That looks YUMMY.
Didn´t know about the benefits of oregano, thanks for the info, I love it even more now :-)
Hello, the pork and salad look delicious. I would try this meal soon!
Enjoy your day and have a great new week!

I've never prepared pork kebobs. I usually use beef or chicken, but I will have to give this recipe a try. We have a rather large oregano plant that I'm always looking to use up in the kitchen. The benefits of using it, is news (good news) to me!
I bet that tastes tangy..
I haven't had pork this way but the other day we had pork ribs and they were very yummy on the grill. :)
Hope you had a good weekend!
I have to admit, the Greek salad sounds refreshing and looks delightful.
Sounds good!
Yes please! Thank you Jan!
