So here we go with my first post of my first blog ever. I've never been one to start my own website or anything like that but after getting some ideas from we all know where LOL PINTEREST, I thought what the heck let me try. So anyone who knows me knows I love to cook, I love to craft, I love being a mom and wife and helping with my services and abilities where ever I can.
My friends and family have actually suggested numerous times that I should open my own restaurant and what not, blah blah blah LOL no thanks, would be nice but no. Most importantly the big reason of a no is well i'm quite honestly pretty terrified that Mr. Gordon Ramsey himself, whom I adore haha, would come and feature my restaurant on one of his many shows I watch--Kitchen Nightmares. Plus haha I don't handle stress and the heat of the kitchen well either so hince where the SIMPLE comes into play. I like to make you think I put alot of hard work and effort into it. :)
So what got me started on Pinterest?! Well quite honestly I was a die-hard "Oh i'm not going to try out this new kraze, it's ridiculous, not going to give in ever." HA! Was I ever wrong and I sadly must admit at times I absolutely LOVE IT!!!!! LOL I got started because well I got engaged and to win a DIY wedding reception you HAD to create a wedding DIY board on where?? Yup you guessed it good ol' Pinterest. Which brings me to here to blog about what works, what doesn't, what tastes good, what doesn't, & great things I've found.
So after all that blah blah blah non-sense i'm sure you're ready for me to get onto the recipe. So here it is last night we tried this recipe Honey Garlic Pork Chops. Where'd I find the recipe, you guessed it Pinterest?! After reading several of the comments and suggestions from the original site, http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=59689 , I decided to go ahead and try it. Out come?! Well to me to it was just OK, nothing spectacular, nothing special--DH said he liked it and would like to have again. It might have been the pre-minced garlic I used but I didn't like the garlic taste in it and I absolutely LOVE garlic salt in almost like EVERYTHING!! We will try it again but next time instead of baking at 375 for 40mins and using the pre-minced garlic I will have DH grill it and use garlic salt instead and let you know the outcome.
Ingredients:
1/4 + 1/8 cup honey
3 Tbsp soy sauce
6 cloves garlic, minced(1 clove=1/2tsp of minced garlic)
6 pork loin chops, boneless, trimmed of excess fat, 4 oz each
**for this recipe for 6 pork chops I didn't feel this original information/ingredients was to be enough to marinade so I doubled everything but the pork chops & marinated for 24hours**
