Fun Times in the Kitchen with Friends

We had some friends over for Marvins Birthday and we ended up in the kitchen for a quick blog...this recipe has a different spin on the crusty cheesy bread that I have already posted. This is great for a large group of people. You can see by all the people that wandered through the kitchen that night...that was only a couple. The rest of them were in the backyard dancing to the wonderful DJ and Karaoke music of Jayme and Woody...You guys are the best!!!!!

 I made a huge pot of Steak Chili for the party and I served it up in mason jars...so easy for everyone to handle.

I hope that you enjoyed this little video. My friend Brenda is such a kick...we are going to do some real cooking soon....Maybe Thanksgiving.

Pork Chops & Potaotes

Hi Everyone,

So the second part of my video never seemed to post and i think that it was probably too long....Sorry! So here is the recipe for you.

Pre heat your oven to 350.

Pork Chops - I used a pork tenderloin and cut them myself about 1" thick. Put your chops in a hot skillet with about 2 -3 tbsp butter. cook about 3- 5 min on each side. Add sliced onions and garlic to the pan and cook till tender and carmelized. Add some good red wine, to the pan to deglaze it. This gets all the little bits of flavor to loosen from the pan.  I used a Sangiovese ( it also pairs very well with this dinner) To finish the dish put it in the oven for about 5 minutes.

I served this with Garkic Lemon Chive potatoes. These are really simple to make. Pre boil some little red potaotes and when they are finished cut them in half. in a sauce pan add a stick of butter, zest from a lemon and about 1/4 cup of chopped chives. when this is melted toss the potatoes in it. place the cut side down on eother a grill pan or your BBQ to get those nice grill marks on them.  They look really pretty when you plate them.

So I hope that you try this recipe and i hope that you enjoy it as much as Britt and I did.

Cheers!
