Welcome to my Blog!


I am so glad you stopped by. A couple of months ago I saw the movie Julie & Julia, where a young woman decides to take a year and make every recipe in Julia Child's French Cookbook. I enjoyed the movie very much and became intrigued. Maybe I could do something like that, so, I got out my barely used, 13 year old, Better Homes Cookbook and started flipping through. Thus began my cooking experiment.

Cooking is something I have always hated to do, it was a chore for me, not a pleasure. I am not a professional cook, and never will be, but the movie ignited a spark in me and revealed a new discovery, cooking can be fun!

I am learning that with patience, motivation, and good recipes anyone can be a good cook. Believe me, if I can do it, so can you! I hope you will experiment along with me and let me know what you think of the recipes I share.

I will post each new recipe I try along with a picture (I can't stand cookbooks that don't include pictures!) so you can see the final product. I will also share tips that I have learned along the way. For you seasoned chefs, the tips may seem like common sense, but for those of us who are dummies in the kitchen, they are epiphanies.

Happy Cooking!

Tropical Pork Chops



This was a delicious recipe that was also nice to look at with lots of good coloring.

Ingredients:

4 medium pork chops (I used boneless)
1 can of tropical fruit mix
Flour
Olive oil for frying
Montreal Steak Seasoning

Directions:

Cover chops with flour and fry in oil until golden brown. Remove and place in a baking dish or pan. Sprinkle liberally with steak seasoning and cover with tropical fruit mix and juice from can. Cover with foil and bake in a 300 degree oven for one hour or until chops are done.

Servings: 4

We had this with fresh asparagus and boiled salt potatoes. The prep was very easy and there was plenty of time to prepare the side dishes and clean up while the pork was in the oven. I will definitely make this recipe again!
