I don’t make pork very often. But when I am in the mood for a pork chop, this is the way I have to make it. It does take a lot more prep-time and prep is much more messy then many of my recipes, but it is worth it. The pork chops fuse with the […]

Southwest Chicken and Rice
I really like chicken and rice. Everything cooks together and the flavors mix to make a wonderful “gravy”.
