Schnitzel

Oh my gosh! This pork is the moistest I have ever had!

Schnitzel
6 thin cut boneless pork chops.
Pound them out as thin as you can.
Then coat them in flour, dredge them in eggs, and coat them in breadcrumbs.

Heat oil in a cast iron skillet until the oil is just about boiling.
Place the pork chops into the skillet and cook about 3 minutes per side.
The pork chops will be golden brown.

Guys I am not kidding you these things are good!

Navajo Taco's

Well in this family there is definatley two groups when it comes to Navajo Taco's. The sweet side and the not so sweet side.

Sweet

Brown ground beef, drain. Add seasonings(pepper, garlic pepper) Mix in Chili sauce (this in a family recipe that I will post in another post) The sauce is a tomatoe sauce similiar to salsa.

Not so sweet

Brown ground beef with chopped onions, season,drain add a can of pinto beans and a jar of salsa.

I make these ahead and keep them warm in a slow cooker.

Fry bread.

Rhodes rolls, raised and then flattened to about 6" circles.

Then deep fry them until golden brown.

Top with your choose of toppings.

Today we had

Tomatoes

Onions

Simple, and when my mom requests these for her mothers day dinner, they must be good.

Maines B-day Dinner

Jahmaine wanted "those chicken things I made for Alisah's dinner" and "those really good potatoes with cheese" and because I insisted on a vegetable, raw carrots. So there you have it.

Those chicken things I made for Alisha's birthday (BBQ Chicken made in a slow cooker)

I used chicken breasts and legs. Then you have to have a BBQ sauce to cook them in.

Almost homemade BBQ sauce ( I doubled it)

1 bottle BBQ sauce ( I used Kraft Original because that is what I had) but any kind will do.

1 jar of honey

1 onion finally chopped (OK I admit I bought the onion from Walmart already chopped)

about a half a cup of brown sugar

about a half a cup of white sugar

and spices

about a 1/2 a teaspoon of garlic powder, and onion powder

about a teaspoon of chili powder and paprika

and about 2 tablespoons of Johnny's seasoning.

Mix all the ingredients together and coat the chicken. Place is the slow cooker on low for about 8 hours.

those really good potatoes with cheeseI call them "yummy potatoes" but most people call them funeral potatoes. Whatever!

1 large package frozen hashbrowns (thawed)

2 8oz packages of cheese ( I used on of mild cheddar and one of Colby Jack.

1 can of cream of anything soup (I used cream of potato, but kind will do)

1 stick butter

1 16 0z package of sour cream.

Melt the butter in the microwave. In a large bowl mix the butter with the soup and sour cream,

add the potatoes and 1 package cheese. Put in a casserole dish, cover with foil, cook at 350 for about 45 minutes. Take out of the oven, remove the foil and add the remaining chees on top. Cook until the cheese is melted and the pototoes are kinda bubbly.

Raw carrots not so much

There you have it a feast fit for a 7 year old.
