Karen’s Killer Fixin’s: Garlic Pork Chops

Cooking

It’s time for Karen’s Killer Fixin’s! Over the years, I’ve filled two 4-inch, 3-ring binders with my own creations as well as recipes my family and friends were willing to share with me. I simply love to cook and want to share that love with my readers. So every Friday, I share one recipe I think you and your family might enjoy. It might be a main course recipe. A cookie or baked item. Candy. Salads. Whatever strikes my eye and fancy…which today is GARLIC PORK CHOPS!

Yes, you have to turn on the oven so this might be better served when the weather is cooler. However, 25 minutes shouldn’t heat up your house too much if you’ve got a hankering for something different and EASY. Serve with cheesy, garlic mashed potatoes or a spinach salad. I keep several packages of this soup mix in the cupboard. This one’s great for throwing together at the last minute, even if it means you throw frozen chops into water to quick thaw. No, ahem, I’ve never done this before. 😉

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!

Karen’s Killer Fixin’s: Spinach Dip for Veggies/Crackers

Cooking

It’s time for Karen’s Killer Fixin’s! Over the years, I’ve filled two 4-inch, 3-ring binders with my own creations as well as recipes my family and friends were willing to share with me. I simply love to cook and want to share that love with my readers. So every Friday, I share one recipe I think you and your family might enjoy. It might be a main course recipe. A cookie or baked item. Candy. Salads. Whatever strikes my eye and fancy…which today is SPINACH DIP for VEGGIES/CRACKERS!

This is a great recipe for those summer parties and BBQs, although I’ve been known to make this for our neighborhood Christmas parties as well. It’s healthy (if you serve with veggies instead of crackers), easy to make, and delicious. I’ve even used leftover dip to stuff chicken breasts before wrapping the breasts with bacon and baking.

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!

I haven’t made these cookies in forever but now that I’ve come across the recipe again, I’m going to have to make some. I found this recipe when my children were young. They were great cookies for the littlest ones, especially when they were teething. They are delicious and practically melt in your mouth. I recommend making a double batch. They’re THAT good!

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!
