Tuesdays Dinner is Paprika Pork Chop which I got from

http://food52.com

This might I add is one of the best recipes for Pork Chop I think that I have ever had.  It's the easiest too and that's awesome! I added about 4 shakes of  cayenne pepper, this didn't make it hot really it just added to the depth of flavor.  If you would like it hot you would have to add more.  I made whipped {mashed} sweet potatoes & Roasted Brussell sprouts to go with this meal.  I made up my own recipe for my sweet potatoes which is below, I also had some Redwood Creek Chardonnay the recipe for the pork chops calls for wine when cooking the onions I used this so I thought I would have a couple glasses ;}

Whipped Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients:

2 Med-large Orange Sweet potatoes or Yams

1 TBSP Butter

3 TBSP Brown Sugar

1/4 cup half & half

Blender

Directions:

Peel and cut into 1/2 inch cubes place in boiling water until water turns orange and they are soft and you can pierce with a fork.  Strain put back into pot taking it off the heat.  Add Butter, and half of the half & half and smash with fork or potato smasher, once smashed blend with the rest of the half & half and you will have whipped Sweet potatoes!

The easy carmelized brussel sprouts recipe I found on Pinterest which is where I find almost everything!

This meal worked out so well, I had every taste sweet, savoury, crunchy and spicy...man it's fantastic!!! 

Monday Night Dinner


Jadens beef with broccoli


This receipe is from The Pioneer Woman...who is awesome!  My mother-in-law told me about her site and I go there all the time, she has some fantastic ideas!!! Check it out! :}

Dinner for Saturday night is

With Homemade Garlic Bread which Jason {Hubby} says that it's the best he's EVER had!  What a great man.  I will show you how it's made follow along below.

French Bread, I buy a whole loaf and use it for everything, garlic bread, sandwiches, and Sunday morning french toast!

Cut in half width wise

Add Butter I love always having soft butter so I use country crock but I do also keep the real deal butter sticks for baking! :}  Love me some butter

After Butter then add Garlic Powder

I use enough to change the color by a tint but you can still see the butter underneath, then I sprinkle on the Italian seasoning.

 Add a little Parsley and then 2 hand fulls of Mozzarella Cheese!

Make sure you use foil on the pan underneath your cheese garlic bread so your {dishwasher} my hubby :} doesn't get mad that he has to scrap off all of that melted cheese on the pan.

After I'm done with the bread dinner is half way done, I cooked 3 chicken breasts in 2 tablespoons of butter until done about 5-7 Mins per the back of the box of Pasta Roni, and then added water seasonings and pasta at this time I put my garlic bread into the oven @ 375 Degrees.

I cut up 1/2 of a orange pepper to add to my pasta, I like Zucchini in this dish as well I just didn't have any tonight. 

After I cut the peppers I add them to the pan so they will soften a little and wait until the water is absorbed.  I also added a little chopped green onion...if I have them I use them for everything! hahah

I pour myself a glass of wine {Pinot Noir} by this time dinner just got done and now the garlic bread is ready to come out of the oven!

Now that looks like the perfect meal and since Jason loves it so much there will be no leftovers.  If you like pasta this is one to try!!!

First things first...hubby leaves in a little over a month so I will making him everything that he LOVES until then!!  I use recipes from everywhere especially PINTEREST...I love that site!!!  Tonight it will out to eat for us, it's friday and we have a lot going on.  There will pic's up tomorrow of what I will be making for dinner...Ehhh can't wait!  I seriously love to cook, I look forward to going home to make dinner and then of course add the wine and wow I got a smile on my face!!! :)
