Pan-fried Pork Chops for Recipe Friday

When I was a kid one of my favorite meals that my mom made was pork chops. She always made thin cut pork chops and fried them to what I affectionately call “shoe leather.” I suppose my mom cooked them this way because she and...

Baked Chicken Strips for Recipe Friday

Usually when I make chicken strips I pan fry them. But that requires closely monitoring the frying process and if I am distracted by other things can lead to burned chicken strips. My family will still eat them slightly burned, but last night I didn’t...

Shepherd’s Pot Pie for Recipe Friday
