Juicy tender pork chops marinated with a sesame ginger vinaigrette and baked in the oven to perfection. 2-Ingredient Baked Sesame Ginger Pork Chops A brief time in the refrigerator gives the bone in thick pork chops loads of flavor while tenderizing the meat. Even if you don't have time for the pork chops to hang out in the marinate, skip the marinating and pour the sesame ginger vinaigrette over them just before you bake them in the oven. Still delicious. I like to cook thick cut porterhouse pork chops with the bone in them because there is so much more flavor. Other cuts of pork chops will work, like boneless pork chops, sirloin pork chops, and thin cut pork chops, sometimes called rib pork chops. There is no need to complicate dinner when you can make this simple meal that everyone will enjoy. You will only need two ingredients, Maria's Sesame Ginger Vinaigrette and pork chops. Once they go in the oven, you can have a wholesome meal on the table in less than 45 min

The preparation of this dish is virtual hands free, while the presentation is nothing less than the star of any celebratory dinner.

Old School Sloppy Joes Recipe Is Still The Best!
The Old School Sloppy Joes Recipe is still the best, consisting of ground beef, onions, tomato sauce or ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and other spices. The simpliest version has stood the test of time, d-lish! The name of this beloved sandwich gets it honest. They are as tasty as they are sloppy. The name comes by piling so much of the meat sauce on a giant hamburger bun, a tiny slider buns, or between two slices of your favorite bread, you cannot help but need a napkin. Did I say they were messy?

Black Eyed Peas and Collards Soup Recipe
Black Eyed Peas and Collards Soup, a flavorful soup, combines two southern favorites, black eyed peas and collards with carrots and lean ham. Drop a hot water cornbread medallion in the center of the bowl of soup that will leave you full but not weighed down. For New Year's Day, I had planned to cook a small amount of fresh black eyed peas and a small batch of collard greens since it was just me that would be eating them. Until I remembered that I had seen a recipe somewhere for a soup made with both. I don't know about all the good luck these ingredients bring. All I do know is this straightforward soup has few ingredients that are a comforting start to the new year.

For our Christmas dinner, we have enjoyed Standing Rib Roast, also known as prime rib roast, for several years now, and this last year I decided to try my hand at making Popovers to go with our meal. They turned out fabulous, perfect addition, so I think I will try the Yorkshire Pudding this year. We decided to keep the sides simple too. We served Creamy Baked Mashed Potatoes and my Magic Green Beans . Simple is always best.

Perfectly Cooked Eye Of Round Roast
Perfectly Cooked Eye of Round Roast, tender round roast generously sprinkled with a mixture of salt and pepper, forming a crust to hold in all the juices. The roast is the star of the recipe, so no other ingredients are necessary to create the most succulent meat. Eye of round roast is a lean, inexpensive cut that comes from the hip and hind legs. Often sold as a roast, steaks for marinating, and referred to the round when buying ground round hamburger. I definitely recommend using a meat thermometer to ensure not overcooking the eye of round roast. Overcooking the roast past medium-well will result in the meat being tough.

Roast Bone In Chicken Breast with Fennel
Roast Bone In Chicken Breast with Fennel, an elegant dish, and delicious with complex flavors. But don't let that keep you from devouring this perfect entree. Fennel is a wonderfully delicious vegetable when cooked to full tenderness like bone in chicken breast take, which takes longer to cook than boneless chicken breast. My idea that the fennel would lend flavor to the chicken ad the chicken would flavor the fennel nicely was beyond my expectations. The results were remarkable.

Chicken Fajita Stuffed Peppers
Chicken Fajita Stuffed Peppers, flavors of the traditional fajitas in colorful bell peppers. The peppers are stuffed with cooked strips of grilled chicken, bell pepper, onion and folded altogether in white queso then sprinkled with shredded sharp cheddar. Chicken Fajitas Stuffed Peppers are filled with all the ingredients served on the hot iron skillet you get at your favorite Mexican restaurant. The bell peppers are cut in half and used for the vehicle for eating the fajita instead of flour tortillas. I like to cook the filled pepper in the rich sauce leftover from the cooking the peppers and onions just until they are soft yet still sturdy enough to pick up to eat. That way, they are easy to pick up the whole filled pepper. Leaving the stem on the pepper helps them hold together.

Old Fashioned Meatloaf is one of my family's favorite meals. Who doesn't love a good meatloaf sandwich? I make my classic meatloaf recipe most days, but for this recipes, I did a twist on our favorite. I usually add chopped green bell peppers and onions to my recipe, but I didn't have any bell peppers, and it was late in the day, and I didn't want to run to the store. But I did have a few green tomatoes on the counter and didn't have time to fry them so I chopped them up and thought how would they taste adding them to the meatloaf for a substitute. Thinking, I may just be on to something tasty.

Crispy Oven Baked Tacos
Crispy Oven Baked Tacos made with a homemade ground beef filling, covered with refried beans, and grated sharp cheese then topped with pico de gallo. A weeknight meal the whole family will keep asking for. Recipes that take few ingredients and little time to make are often on our meal rotations. Oven Baked Tacos are in that category. I like to cook the taco filling ahead of time and have ready just before popping them in the oven. I like to heat the refried beans and have them the same temperature as the homemade taco filling. For the cheese, there is nothing better than grating the cheese yourself versus buying the bags of grated cheese. Don't get me wrong I buy bagged grated cheese, but there are certain dishes I like to use the freshly grated cheese. I usually have the ingredients for the pico de gallo on hand, chopping and mixing them all together and hang out in the refrigerator to be ready to top the tacos as soon as they come out of the oven.

How To Make Southern Smothered Boneless Pork Chops Hearty And Delicious
Southern Smothered Boneless Pork Chops, succulent boneless pork chops made from scratch ingredients with no canned soups or milk. A classic southern comfort dish that is hearty and creamy rich in flavor with a heavy dose of amazing seasonings. Have you ever heard that pork is the other white meat? Several years ago that was an advertising slogan for pork. The goal was to increase consumer demand for pork and dispel its reputation as a fatty meat. When I grew up, I remember ham and pork chops were the favorite pork selections and being high in calories. But in the last years, pork dish has evolved. From pork roast made into pull pork to pork tenderloin marinaded, considered the leanest and most expensive piece of pork to buy. For the recipe, I used boneless pork chops which are basically top loin or rib chops with ribs removed. They are lean, very little connective tissue, no fat. While the boneless pork chops have fewer calories, the absence of the b
