Cider Braised Pork Chops with Apples
I've made many versions of pork chops and apples. I really like this one. I actually made a mistake and used apple cider vinegar instead of apple cider. It worked, though you might want to try it the way it's meant to be.

Toasted Brie & Mushroom Open Faced Sandwich
I had this wonderful Toasted Brie & Mushroom Open Faced Sandwich at The Little Flower Candy Company in Pasadena, CA. I don't think of using lemon with mushrooms, but it really works to add a brightness to the dish.
This is what is says on the menu:
garlic mushrooms and brie toasted and served open faced on baguette with fresh thyme and lemon zest

Cuban Chicken with Pineapple
I went to see the movie Chef with my daughter Zoe. Fortunately, we had the foresight to make this Cuban chicken before we went. Everyone told me that I would want to eat Cuban food after the film, and they were correct! It was a very good movie, by the way. Serve this with Cuban Style Rice and Peas and Havana Black Beans.

Zinfandel Barbecue Sauce
This Zinfandel Barbecue sauce is to die for. It is always a crowd pleaser at any party. Excellent as a dipping sauce, or brush generously on chicken, pork, or beef before grilling. I usually use it with meatballs and throw them in a slow cooker with the sauce.

This Corn Salad with Basil, Tomatoes and Lime is so refreshing and it's already cut off the cob, for all those people who can't eat it!

This pot pie is from Cooking Light magazine and is low in fat and calories. It's easy and relatively fast to make, which makes it a perfect weeknight meal.

Chicken Smothered in Gravy
Why is there something so appealing about the word Smothered in the title of a recipe? In this recipe, I used chicken parts, ie - breasts, legs, etc. I think the next time I make this, after sautéing the chicken, I will put it all in a crockpot.

Curried Lentils With Sweet Potatoes, Mushrooms & Kale
I was watching some program on the Food Network Channel, it may have been Diners, Drive-ins & Dives. They were at a restaurant called Tin Shed in Portland Oregon. This was the most popular dish on the menu. I quickly wrote down the ingredients and method and ran to the store. It was so good, I will make this again and again. I bought pre-cooked lentils (at Trader Joe's) a jar of curry sauce and even frozen jasmine rice. It was easy and fast. You could take it to another level and put a piece of salmon on top.
