Food Storage

I found a great website for using food storage in recipes. It looks really good, and might be kind of fun to try. Here is the link http://www.everydayfoodstorage.blogspot.com/

Sweet and Hot Pork

So here is a simple recipe for pork.

1/4 cup Brown Sugar
2 Tablespoon Soy Sauce.
Mix it together and put over cooked pork chops.
Then sprinkle in some Hot Pepper flakes. Serve over rice.

I usually double or even triple the recipe depending on how much sauce I want or need. Also if you like it sweeter add more brown sugar, it is kind of a taste as you go recipe. It is really good if you like sweet with your meat. I leave the hot pepper out sometimes for the kids.

Recipe Request

I have a lot of pork chops but not very many good recipes and ideas to cook them with.
So i thought i would put out a request for recipes. i don't really like the whole orange marmalade or cinnamon apple thing that so many pork recipes have in them, i like the savory recipes better, and the quicker/easier the better.
On Sunday i was in a hurry to figure out something to have ready when we got home from church and while i am out here in the summers i don't go all out on a lot of groceries so i was limited on what i had but i did come up with this little concoction/recipe. it actually turned out quite well. ( I also have two brothers out here that i feed so thats why i made so much) :)
6 bone-in pork chops
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 can petite diced tomatoes w/celery, onion, & chilies
about 2/3 C sour cream
Garlic powder
salt and pepper
6 cups rice
I mixed up the soup, tomatoes, sour cream, garlic, s&p and poured it over the mostly frozen chops in a baking/casserole pan. i covered it and baked it at 300 F for the three hours we were at church and when we got home it was PERFECTLY cooked. the meat was so nice and tender and fell off the bones. i served it all over rice.
It really turned out pretty good, i am just kind of in a rut as far as the things i do with chops so if any of you have some suggestions i would welcome them. :)
I know i could look up recipes on line but it is a little more fun and easier to know what to try when you know someone who has liked it before.
Thanks!!
