easy dinner!

I have tasty pork chops in our freezer. I wish I was in our freezer! LOL I did not wanna slave over a hot stove or bake today! So, here we go...the simplest tastiest dinner :)


Whatcha need:

3 fairly thick pork chops-you can choose boneless, I did :)

salsa verde-we got La Victoria on sale for $1.95 so I used half a jar.

Just use how ever much you'd like! :)

2 chicken bullion with tomato cubes-you can find these in the

"Hispanic" ethic section of most local grocers

3 Cs water

1 1/2 C rice


Whatcha do:

Slice the pork chops into strips. Brown the chops and then pour in the salsa verde. Cover with lid and simmer. While you're browning the chops, start the rice :) Combine the bullion cubes, rice and water in one pot. Bring to boil and then cover and simmer until rice is done. Once the rice is done, serve the pork chops over rice with the salsa verde! DONE :) I serve them with mais fritters :)

Crock Pot Sweet & Sour Pork

Since it's starting to get warmer and no one really LIKES staying in a hot kitchen, I've decided to post some of my favorite crockpot recipes :) So here is a super easy NO FAIL one :)




Whatcha need:


1-1/2 lb. boneless pork loin, cut into 1-inch pieces

**you can used pork chops cut into pieces or a pork roast**
1 onion, chopped
3/4 cup Barbecue Sauce
1 can (14-1/2 oz.) chicken broth
1 can (8 oz.) pineapple chunks in juice, drained
1 green pepper, chopped
2 cups instant white rice, uncooked


Whatcha do:
Place meat in slow cooker; top with onions. Add barbecue sauce and broth; cover with lid. Cook on LOW 6 to 7 hours (or on HIGH 4 hours). Make sure you check it every hour or so. You wanna make sure everything is going along smoothly :) Stir in remaining ingredients. Cover your lovely pork and cook on LOW 30 min. or until rice is tender.

Now!! if you're not feeling the added taste the BBQ sauce adds, you can use 1 bottle (10 oz.) Sweet 'N Sour Sauce instead.
