Tender Grilled Pork Chops

We eat chicken a lot in our family.  That can get a little boring so I've been trying to break away from that.  Don't get me wrong, we'll still eat it, I would just like other options to mix things up.  Hence the last few dinner posts.  I tried out these pork chops last night and they were a hit with the whole family.  Even Brynlee liked them, and she seriously doesn't like much these days. (Side note:  I can imagine my Mom with a smug smile on her face as she reads this, because I was just about the worlds pickiest eater as a child.  What goes around comes around I guess).  Anyway, back to the Pork Chops, they turned out flavorful and juicy.  Perfect.  We'll be eating these again for sure!





Tender Grilled Pork Chops
modified from Mel's Kitchen Cafe

INGREDIENTS:
4 boneless pork loin chops
1/4 cup olive oil
2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp seasoned salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp coriander

DIRECTIONS:
Mix dry ingredients together.  Sprinkle over the pork chops and rub into both sides.  Place in a large ziplock bag.  Mix olive oil soy sauce together in a small bowl and pour over the pork. Move the pork chops around in the bag to make sure it is all covered.  Place in the fridge on a flat surface.  Let marinate for 3-8 hours, flipping halfway through.  Heat the grill to medium and grill the chops 6-8 minutes per side (depending on how thick they are) until they are no longer pink in the center or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reaches 160 degrees.  Remove the chops from the grill and tent them with foil and allow them to rest for 5-7 minutes. Slice the chops in 1/4 to 3/8 inch slices across the grain and serve.

Note:  I made these on my Gourmet Griddler (indoor grill).  I grilled them on high for about 7 minutes total.

Not Yo Mama's Banana Pudding (Re-post with a picture )

Does this dessert sound familiar to you?  I originally posted it last Summer, but didn't have a picture at the time.  I'm excited to be able to post this picture now so you can see how yummy it looks!  I first had this pudding at a BBQ last Summer.  One bite and I was hooked.  This fabulous pudding sits on top of a layer of bananas and is sandwiched between two delicious cookies. Does it get any better than that?  Banana pudding didn't used to be something I craved, but it definitely is now.  It is Heavenly!  Also, it's very easy to make.  So try it out sometime.  I bet you'll become a banana pudding fan too.

Royal Icing for Sugar Cookies

While I love my Scrumptious Sugar Cookie frosting , Royal Icing is the way to go for decorated cookies that harden enough to stack and package. It definitely takes more time and patience, but the end result is so satisfying! You can make such fun cookies without having to worry about the frosting coming off.  Royal Icing can get super hard, and while this is perfect for building Gingerbread Houses, it’s not so great when you want to actually eat the cookie. Not to worry though- adding in a little corn syrup helps the icing dry firm without being overly hard.  I also like to add in my favorite butter vanilla emulsion to make the icing extra yummy, cause at the end of the day it’s not enough to just look pretty!  There are a few different ways to make Royal Icing. My favorite method is using Meringue Powder. If you can’t find this or don’t want to buy it, you can use egg whites instead. Or, if you’re in a pinch you can make some with just powdered sugar and water. You can find some recip

Brown Butter Caramel Snickerdoodles

If you try one new cookie recipe this Fall, let it be this one!! I'm not kidding when I say that this is  one of the best cookies I've ever made.  They've already received rave reviews and comments such as, "Amazing!", and "Incredible!"  These are not your average snickerdoodle, not that I have anything against the traditional ones, they are made with browned butter and extra brown sugar for a rich caramel taste.  But wait, it also has a caramel center! And of course that classic chewy texture with a cinnamon/sugar coating.  I could eat these every single day. They are SO GOOD you guys!
