BBQ Pork and Penne Skillet

I can't believe tomorrow is Christmas Eve! It seems that this month has went by so quick! I hope you enjoy these special days with your family. Remember Christmas is more than food and gifts. The most important part is to spend time with your loved ones. I know for a fact my kids are growing up way to quick and I want to cherish every moment I have left with them!
I have one last recipe to share with you. I made this the last night for my mom's birthday. I hope you enjoy it as much as she did!
