Pork Chops

so, I bought these pork chops on sale at cub last weekend and I finally decided to do something with them. :) I found a weight watchers reciepe called spice-rubbed pork chops.

1 1/2 tbsp chili powder

1 tbsp unpacked brown sugar

2 tsp cumin

1 tsp garlic powder

2 tbsp worcestershire sauce

mix together into a paste. Rub down the chops on both sides and put on a greased broiler pan and cook in broiler for 4 minutes on sides.

They were really yummy! and soo quick and easy!!!

Feeling icky

the cold bug finally caught up with me :( So I haven't really been in the mood for trying new stuff. We had pizza on friday, steak at kirsten's on saturday, ham & beans on sunday and mexican rice last night.

I did get some pork chops on sale this weekend at cub thought, so look for some pork chop reciepes in the near future. I saw some interesting recipes using the crock pot. I might try hauling that thing out again, if chris lets me.. ;) he's not a fan of leaving something cooking all day with no one home. I keep telling him that women have been doing it for decades... ;) I think maybe I'll just break down and do it. start it in the morning after he leaves and he won't even know about it till he gets home for the day.. ;)

no recipes

hey. so tonights dinner was pretty much made up. of course, I'm a dummy and forgot to take pics, but I made pizza cresent roll ups and baked fries. for the pizza roll ups I used cresent rolls, with pizza sauce, pepperoni and mozz cheese. and the baked fries, I cut up some potato wedges and coated them with salt, pepper, seasoned salt and soul seasonings. I have to say it was a pretty darn good meal. :)

not sure how many w/w points it was. still have to figure that out, but I'm not too worried. I had 12 points to use for dinner and all of my weekly "extra" points left.. :)

I think we might be getting pizza tommorow night. we got a coupon in the mail from Happy Joe's.

yikes!

bad me... I've been slacking.. :(

ok, lets see if I can get caught up. First things first is I started weight watchers on monday. I signed up for their free week trial and am getting all the info and recipes I can. also bessy is going to send me some info and an extra points calculator, so that I can continue, but not have to pay the montly fee, which I really can't afford right now.

so lets see,

Monday we had ham & beans. as always it was spectacular. :) On Tuesday we had garlic & parm cheese breaded chicken with canned new potato's and green beans. very healthy balanced meal. :) the chicken was FAB! :) last night we had baked potato soup. (a w/w recipe) it was ok, but not something I want to try again for a while...

so that's the catch up. I'll try and remember to do better from now on.. :)

one of my old favorites

tonight we had one of my old favorites. :) Sloppy Joe supreme! it's so simple, but soo yummy!! it's another one of my original bettycrocker bisquick meals.

yesterday I wanted to finish the book I was reading so we just had left over burrito's. Oh and I made a coffee cake tonight to bring over to kirsten's this weekend. I'm interested to see how it turns out! I used a box cake mix, and 2 box's of pudding. I'll let you know how it turns out. :)

more mexican

I've figured out since I've been cooking that I really like taco seasoning. :) I use it constantly! in way more ways than I ever thought you could! :) So tonight I didn't have any meat thawed so I thought I'd make Mexican rice. we had to go to walmart, so while we were there we grabbed some "fajita beef" and some burrito shells and we had burritos. As usual, yummy!! :):)

chris's request

I asked chris if he wanted something specific for dinner this week and he requested "impossibly easy taco pie" it's an "old favorite" ;) by old I mean I first made it back in september when I was just starting to cook. It's a super yummy bisquick meal.
