Pork Schnitzel with Dill Cream Sauce

Image
I am not the biggest fan of pork chops. I like pork tenderloin, bacon, ham, etc, but chops not so much. I do dig a good pan sauce however so I still was kind of excited. I do like good schnitzel, yes pork schnitzel, but this recipe did not produce that wonderful schnitzel I like. The sauce was pretty yummy and the boys didn't complain about the s so it must be my issues (again:).  My husband picked it off Pinterest and since it was from allrecipes.com I have no problem posting it here. (I am always a little concerned about allrecipes. I have had a few really good recipes, several fixable and a few bad recipes from them.)  I totally forgot about sides when I was at the store, so I cooked a half a box of whole wheat pasta I had cluttering up the pantry and tossed it with a bit of butter.   (and then dill sauce ;) And I steamed some broccoli too.  The boys rated it a 4 & a 4.5, I am torn because the sauce was a 4.5 for sure, the pork more like a 3 for...

Mollet Eggs Florentine

Image
Anytime I think I think I'm pretty good in the kitchen, I try to peel a boiled egg!  I have no idea how anyone can get those perfect, smooth eggs.  Mine look like surface of the moon or somewhere they test bombs!  It was meatless Monday, so in order to keep the boys from rebelling completely, I decide to make an egg dish. (they get some protein that way)  They looked beautiful, and except for the complete pain in the butt part (peeling the eggs) it wasn't too hard to make.  It was well received by my husband(he really liked it actually) , but the boy didn't care for it much.  (too much green IMO)  I thought it was good too despite the fact that I was ready to kill someone after "peeling" the eggs)  It is Jacques Pepin recipe I found on pinterest.   Only thing I might suggest is when he says to shake the pan to crack the eggs, I think he means gently move the eggs until they crack.  I had two casualties after the "shake"  That w...

Dallas Burger

I do like Bobby Flay recipes and this looked really good despite my less than enthusiastic feelings towards BBQ. We all enjoyed it too, but we realized we have had so many wonderful burgers, it's hard to be wowed any more. Still really tasty and the best part is the BBQ sauce. I love it!  Go figure:).  The recipe for this was mostly the sauce and then how to make your burger and toppings as "suggestions".  I followed all the steps.  The most difficult part of the whole process was the grinding of the chiles to make the powder, but it wasn't that bad.  The sauce was totally worth it.  I'm salivating just thinking about it.  (and have I mentioned I don't care for BBQ:)  Dallas Burger Bobby's BBQ Sauce : 2 Tbl canola oil 1 Spanish onion chopped 3 Clove garlic chopped 1 Cup ketchup 2 Tbl ancho chile powder 1 Tbl paprika 1 heaping tablespoon dijon mustard 1 Tbl red wine vinegar 1 Tbl Worcestershire sauce 1 chipotle chile in adobo chopped ...
