Pig is Nude, Unashamed

Pork Chop with Watermelon Feta Salad

Basil, lime zest, and balsamic vinegar tossed with feta, olives, and a little olive oil, makes for a refreshing enough salad that allows you to believe it cancels out the vat of creamy mashed potatoes you are eating with your giant pork chop.

For lunch, a quickie chicken corn soup with spinach

Freezing chicken stock saves the day for when you want that deep flavor but you don't want to spend all day making a soup.  Stock, corn, chicken simmered first before frozen spinach was tossed in at the end.  Fortify your flavor with a dab of Better than Bouillon, herbs and a squeeze of lemon. 

Pigs in Zen

I got these great boneless pork chops on special. I love pork but feel void of bones and fat it usually needs a bit of a kick. I heavily spiced them all up with a dry rub and pan seared them before allowing them to cook through in the oven with a little orange juice.

After they rested, I cut in thin strips to serve as fajita meat!

Canned beans and packaged Spanish rice were quick sides. I dressed the beans with a big dollop of Greek yogurt and a handful of pickled jalapenos. I had green bell peppers and onion as well as tomatoes and torts.

A great Sunday night supper.
