Pan Fried Pork Chops

I love home cooking and this is the type of food my family likes to eats. Greens aren't for everyone, especially my son but I bet everyone in the family would eat greens made the way my hubby makes them - that recipe will be coming up in another post. 

If anyone is interested in knowing  my recipe for these veggies just let me know. I can tell you that there weren't any leftovers! 

All you need is 40 minutes from start to finish for everything if you're pretty good at multi-tasking and are hungry. Enjoy!



1) Rinse off pork chops. 
2) Marinate in olive oil, fresh garlic, paprika, seasoning salt, and rice vinegar. 
3) Pan Fry in olive oil (I like using a cast iron skillet).
* Note: Cooking time varies depending on the cut and thickness - pork must be cooked to 160°F. 
Rinse and Marinate
Marinate with white wine vinegar.
Rub: seasoning salt, chopped garlic, paprika,

Sweet Bread Recipe

"Autumn and I just tried out this recipe. The recipe yields three deliciously sweet loaves. Before the loaves could cool a loaf disappeared! For breakfast we sliced and toasted some and spread strawberry and cherry preserves on top - our whole family enjoyed it. "

Preparation Time: 90 minutes
Bake Time: 25 - 30 minutes
                  
Ingredients:
      5 cups bread flour
      3 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
      3 cups warm water
      3 Tbsp. butter, melted
      1/3 cup honey
      2 packages of active dry yeast
      2 Tbsp. butter, melted
      1/3 cup honey
Directions: 
  1. Mix warm water yeast, and 1/3 cup of honey, then add 5 cups of white bread flour, and stir until blended well.  (Let stand for approximately 30 minutes or until big and bubbly.)
  2. Mix 3 Tbsp. of melted butter, 1/3 cup of honey, and salt. Stir in 2 cups of whole wheat flour. Knead the flour on a flat surface using whole wheat flour. (Cover and let stand in a warm place until doubled - cover light)
  3. Punch down and divide up into 3 loaves. Place dough greased loaf pans (9x5), let rise.
  4. Bake at 350 degrees F for approximately 25 - 30 minutes. 
  5. After baking - brush loaf tops with melted butter to keep crust moist and soft.
"I think I found out who ate that first loaf - my son!"
Caught in the act!
