Let me start by saying this could possibly be the easiest pork chop recipe ever. Seriously. Historically, I haven’t been much for pork chops. Growing up, they tended to be tough (sorry, Mom!) , and even as I became an adult and started cooking for myself, I found it difficult to make tender chops. I did find over time that certain techniques (like brining) yielded delicious chops.
Carol over at Simply…Gluten-Free has shared a maple-brined pork chop recipe that is divine. For a long while, that has been my go-to for successful pork chops. Until a few weeks ago, that is. I seasoned the chops and decided to sear them in a cast-iron skillet using the same method I use for both steak and my lamb chops, since that method takes all of about 10 minutes to make. After a quick little rest and a visit onto our plates, what resulted was a small miracle. Of course, just to be sure it wasn’t a fluke (or a particularly excellent set of chops), I tried this once again last week with a leaner chop.
Sweets. My Quick and Easy Chicken Adobo. Chicken adobo is the quintessential Filipino dish. To be honest, it wasn’t really one of my favorites until I moved away from the Philippines. Back then, my favorites were bistek, fried bangus (milkfish), and sinigang (the Philippine equivalent of tom yum). But when you are away from home for so long, you develop heightened cravings for the dishes that easily assuage pangs of homesickness, and for me, adobo is one of those dishes. There is no way to prevent the aroma of this dish from filling your home, and all of a sudden, my house smells just like the one where I grew up, almost 10,000 miles away from many, many years ago.
I used to think chicken adobo was tricky to make, and in my earliest attempts, it was definitely finicky. It was easy to go from just right to tasting like pickled chicken, and it frustrated me that my younger brother was more adept at making this dish than I was. Apparently, my problem was that I was stressing over it too much. To this: And that’s it! Pecan-Crusted Trout Recipe. Make Your Own Herb and Spice Blends.

(pictured above) “Italian seasoning” in the spice section of the supermarket is a blend of dried herbs such as basil, oregano and parsley — tasty, but a little one-dimensional. This blend, including a bit of sugar, garlic and onion powder and a touch of chili flakes, adds layers of flavors to any Italian dish.

When I started seeing a bunch of cauliflower pizza crust recipes popping up online, I knew it was something that I wanted to try. I found a recipe on Eat. Drink. Smile. that looked particularly good to me, and decided to give it a shot last week. I have to admit, I thought that going through all of the trouble with the cauliflower might be a pain in the butt.

My whole family agreed that the cauliflower pizza crust tasted AMAZING, and I didn’t feel so sluggish after having a couple pieces like I do after after eating traditional pizza.

We’ve managed to fight off the yellow bellied, land lover trolls corrupting my beloved site so I apologize for the lapse in posts. I’m most saddened by the lack of an August Booze of the Month, an atrocious loss of control on my part but I’ll make up for it in September, pinky swear.

The ribs were as authentic as any I’ve ever had. The ribs were as authentic as any I’ve every had.

This is, by far, my most favorite discovery of the summer.
(And, I also want to wish a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my mom, Georgia!!!) Originally, I found inspiration for this recipe, yet again, through Pinterest. But since I was reluctant to make a trip to the store, I decided to use ingredients I already had on hand. The downside that suddenly turned into an upside? I ran out of balsamic, so I had to improvise. The good news? The balsamic honey reduction is ingenious.

I don’t want to blow anyone’s cover or make you feel worse if you shivered out the week in an over-air-conditioned cubicle but I have to tell you: I think everyone is on vacation but us. I think they’re on beaches, building sandcastles, accumulating freckles, having lobster rolls for lunch and cherry pie and juicy peaches for dessert. I don’t think they’re thinking about us at all. I’ve already broken my please-don’t-be-so-dull-as-to-discuss-the-weather-Deb rule once this week and I don’t want to do it again, nevertheless, given the state of That Which Shall Not Be Named, I think it’s about time we stopped pretending that we’re actually going to be turning on our stoves until sometime in October.
