This super simple recipe for regina's pork roast uses herbs to add wonderful flavor to a tender cut. The usda decided a few years ago that pork can be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 f; it no longer has to be cooked to well done for food safety reasons. That means the meat will be juicier and more tender. Serve this classic, old-fashioned recipe with some mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables such as asparagus or green beans, a fruit salad, and an apple pie for dessert.
