My stats for today (recipe)

well, today found me at 274 - wooohooo :D



So today, I've cleaned the pantry nearly from top to bottom (waiting for daughter to go down for nap), and have straightened living room & kitchen. I'm going out tonight, so I'll try to get my room at least straightened before heading out.



Yesterday's dinner was very good, and I had it for leftovers today's lunch. Yum.



Once we figure out categories, we'll put ours in there, but for now, this will do. We'll put (recipe) in the title so we can find them later. :)



I made this last night. For hubby & kids, I also boiled a couple of potatoes, threw in some butter and chives. I made some steamed cabbage (that was a bad idea) and we also had a can of green beans.

4 boneless pork sirloin chops, 1/2 inch thick

8 cloves garlic, slivered

salt & pepper to taste

1 tsp rosemary, crushed

1/4 c chicken broth

1/2 c white wine (or white grape juice with a splash of vinegar)

1 Tbsp butter



Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.


With a pointed end of a knife, make 4 slits on the top of each porkchop. Insert the garlic slivers into the slits. Salt & pepper the cops to taste, and crush the rosemary on top and try and get it into the slits as best you can.



Place the chops into a metal baking pan. Roast for 10 minutes, then pull from the oven and carefully turn chops over.



Finish roasting another 10 minutes or until chops are completely cooked through. Remove chops from pan and keep warm. Add the chicken broth and white wine to the pan and place the pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Using a wire whisk, whisk up the goodies off the bottom of the pan and allow the sauce ot reduce slightly. Whisk in the butter and when melted and fully incorporated, serve atop the chops.
