I don't remember eating pork chops growing up, but we eat them about once a week in our house,  partly because I found this tasty recipe on allrecipes.com.  The only down side in summer is that I hate cooking anything in the oven when it's hot weather because it makes our house extra hot.  But today is rainy and in the 70s so we are having these tonight.

So I don't usually like to brag, but sometimes I do a little bit.... I just made the most incredible dinner tonight. The kids ate every bite, including Jane, and Matt couldn't stop groaning.....it got kind of awkward there for a minute. Anyway, what makes this recipe delicious is the plethera of lime, cilantro, avacado and garlic. Best four ingredients out there. Hands down. If you like them, you will like this. Try it!

When I was making the tilapia recipe of Bethany's, I bought 4 pounds of tilapia.  In an effort to change things up and use all of our tilapia, I went in search of another recipe.  I found this recipe on allrecipes.com , but I have modified it quite a bit.  We had this last night and it was sooooo good.  I guess anything will taste pretty good if you put that much butter and garlic on it, but I'm okay with that.  The original recipe called for tilapia, but I think I will also try it with salmon.  It would probably work with any kind of fish. 4 Tilapia Fillets 3-4 cloves of garlic, crushed 4 Tbs butter 2 Tbs freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 tsp of dried parsley salt pepper 1/2 Tbs butter 1/2 cup crushed corn flakes 1. In a saucepan, melt butter and saute garlic for about 5 minutes over medium heat.  Turn off heat and add lemon juice and parsley. 2. Place fish fillets in a baking dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle sauce ov...

Country style pork ribs were on sale this week, so I bought some.  I didn't know what to make with them, so I looked up a recipe on the internet.  Finding random recipes doesn't always turn out well, but this one was awesome.  Pork is often tough when I cook it, but this was really tender and delicious.  The original recipe is from here , but I modified it a little bit since I had country style pork ribs instead of ribs with the bone in.  4 lbs country style pork ribs   3/4 cup light brown sugar 1 tablespoon paprika   1 tablespoon garlic powder   1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper (optional)   1 tablespoon liquid smoke 2 cups of your favorite barbecue sauce (mine is Sweet Baby Ray) 1.
