TODAY IS THE DAY. Today is, hopefully, the transition into fall. After two straight weeks of endless sun and 90 degree temperatures, a cold front should blow in later this afternoon/evening. We'll get some storms, sure, but the exciting thing is the temperature dip---I hope. I'm ready to use my oven more. I'm ready to… Continue reading Rosemary Parmesan Pork Chops

BBQ Pineapple Pork Chops
Pork has gotten so inexpensive lately. I bought a nearly 3-pound pack of sirloin pork chops the other day for $4.50. Name another meat you can get for that price. Go ahead. I'll wait. Beef is about that for 1 pound, more if you're getting better cuts. I can't hardly find chicken breast for less… Continue reading BBQ Pineapple Pork Chops
Cuban Stuffed Pork Chops
Oklahoma City is lucky to have the choice of restaurants and cuisines that we have. A lot of people (food magazines, television shows) overlook our food mecca. You'll see nonstop chatter about Austin and Seattle, but nill when it comes to OKC. We've got a very large Korean and Vietnamese population here, and some outstanding… Continue reading Cuban Stuffed Pork Chops
Pork Tenderloin & Cajun Slaw
It's been a rough week, food-wise. First, there was Valentine's Day. We got four (!!!) boxes of donuts at work, tons of sweets and candies, and about two dozen cookies.

Carnitas Bowls with Chimichurri
I haven't been cooking much with pork lately and decided I needed to change that. You can only have chicken or turkey every day of the week for so long before you get really bored with it. Seafood is expensive, and a once-or-twice a month type purchase. I'm trying to cut down on the red… Continue reading Carnitas Bowls with Chimichurri
Pork Belly Stir Fry
I'm a Trader Joe's fanatic. Oklahoma City got its first TJ's a few years ago and I've been making a weekly or bi-weekly trip ever since. Now, Trader Joe's is not my normal grocery store of choice. I usually go there to try out new things, peruse, or buy olive oil. Trust me when I… Continue reading Pork Belly Stir Fry
Al Pastor Pork Chops
I've been in a tizzy trying to clean out my freezer. My freezer was in such bad shape: things thrown in willy-nilly, half packages of pie crusts and frozen vegetables, freezer-burned items. A much needed deep-clean was in store for me. I had six pork chops in there of various varieties. A couple of bone-in… Continue reading Al Pastor Pork Chops
