Since tonight's dinner wasn't anything special I am going to flashback to last Wednesday. I made a Paula Deen recipe for blackberry pork chops. I usually don't care for pork chops because I think they're dry, but they were delish! I altered the recipe a little - CLICK HERE! for Paula's and my changes are below:
I didn't use the bone-in pork chops, I got small bone-less pork chop that were not very fatty. I also only used 3 (college portions remember?!). My dry white wine probably doesn't meet the drinking standards for most of the people in my family...Chateau Riviera Chardonnay from College Deli, Poughkeepsie courtesy of Mike after the liquor store closed, but hey it did the trick! I also left out the thyme because I don't care for the taste. This recipe was SO good! I will definitely make it again after I tackle some new dishes. I made it with a side of green beans that I marinated in balsamic vinegar.
Yay! I'm the first to comment ever! I'm so excited for your blog, and can't wait to see what comes next. Also, as a witness to this recipe being made, I can say that it looked delicious!

ReplyDeleteWell, Miss Alyssa, Uncle George finally got me onto your blog simply by opening it with Mozilla. I must say I really got a kick out of it especially your step by step photos! It looks like you are having lots of fun with this...good for you! It's no surprise you have an affinity for cooking!
