Recipe Reviews - 1/24

So mostly I did another failure week on meal planning.  But I do have two recipes for you, and they are both yummy!  We didn't really have any fails, because we had old stand-bys instead of the new stuff I had planned.

Super Easy Pork Chops

So these are actually Michael's recipe, but I changed it up a little bit.  He always used Cream of Mushroom Soup, but since I avoid that whenever I can, I made the sauce myself.

These pork chops are super easy to make! If you choose to use a can of cream of mushroom soup instead of all the other ingredients making it absurdly easy!

This is delicious served over rice.

Serves 2

Ingredients
  • 2 pork chops
  • 2 tablespoons butter you could also use coconut oil (slight flavor change) or lard
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 teaspoon beef bouillon you can also use 1 cup beef broth and not add the bouillon or the water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup water you can also use 1/2 water and 1/2 cup milk if you want it a little creamier

Directions
Pre-heat the oven to 350°. Put the pork chops in a small rectangle pan (I use a 6x9).
Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add the flour and salt to the melted butter and stir with a whisk (make sure it is silicone coated if you are using a non-stick pan) until smooth. Add the beef bouillon and water. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until it gets thick. Remove from heat and pour over the pork chops. Cook for one hour, or until the pork chops are cook throughly.

Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken

So I didn't really like this, but Michael did.  The reason I didn't like it was that we had chicken that we had to use before it went bad, so we ended up using thigh and wing meat, which is much greasier.  It tasted good, so I still think it was a winner.  I would just use breast meat like the recipe calls for next time.  Or at least omit the butter if I have to use different cuts of meat.

Serves 4

Ingredients
  • Brown Sugar 4 tsp unpacked
  • Chicken Breast no skin, 12 ounces
  • Garlic 1 clove
  • Butter salted, 2 tbsp
  • Pepper black, 1 dash

Directions
  Melt the butter in a frying pan
Brown the garlic in the butter
Add chicken breasts to garlic and butter and cook thoroughly, adding pepper as you like it.
When chicken is fully cooked add brown sugar on top of each breast
Allow the brown sugar to melt into the chicken (about 5 minutes)
Serve with your favorite carb, and veggie or salad. We usually have rice or noodles and carrots or green beans.

Giveaway closed! Thank you so much to everyone who entered, I really appreciate it! I have excellent news!  Today is Manipulatives Monday, and Mother Goose Time  is giving away a great prize!  One lucky winner will receive TWO bags of manipulatives!  Mother Goose Time will chose the prizes, but I assure you, whatever they send will be a lot of fun for your children! Manipulatives are a big hit in our house.  Every month we get two new bags of manipulatives, and every month Little Guy asks if he can play with them before the month starts.  The answer is always no, but he tries every month anyways.  During the month we use them for the assigned activities but after we are done with the curriculum, I let him add them to his toy collection. One thing that is in almost every box is a set of counters.  These are often in the shape of animals, which are Little Guy's favorites.  They are used for a variety of activities, and are alwa...

God Made You Just Right by Jill Roman Lord - A Review

Most of the books I review are for adults, but I got a chance to review God Made You Just Right, which is a board book.  From the back of the book: You're brilliantly created, and there's no one else like you!  With simple, rhyming text and whimsical illustrations, this book is a welcome reminder for little ones that God created each of us in just the right way. I love the artwork, it is colorful and engaging, which should catch the attention of small children, but still nice to look at for adults.  The text is encouraging and has a good rhyme pattern, which I always appreciate in books for small children.  It isn't a story, but poetry telling children that God knew exactly what He was doing when He created each part of each person.  I love that it talks about the things you uniquely need to be able to fulfill God's plan for you. At the end of the book is Jeremiah 29:11, which gives scriptural support to the rest of the book.  My only...
