the other day i was at walmart and saw boneless pork chops on sale. so i was daring and i bought them. this is only my second time ever. the first time was when i made molasses grilled pork tenderloin similar to this recipe. except that i'm cheap so i didn't use a tenderloin... i used a less expensive cut... it was still great. anyways, i got home and opened up a real paper pages cookbook that i love (yes liza, it's the easy weeknight favorites) so i looked up pork, picked the recipe that sounded the best, and lo and behold i already had all of the necessary ingredients so i could make it that very night! i was loving life so say the least. i thought that was the coolest thing ever to just buy some meat and be able to make a meal out of it! go ahead and laugh. anyways, i made the peachy pork chops similar to this recipe i found online. but mine was quicker because you broil the meat. anyways, start to finish, you can do this in 15 minutes and it tastes super gourmet. i think next time i'll serve it over rice because the sauce would be really good for that. i still don't like cooking and it still stresses me out and gives me major anxiety, but occasionally i find those recipes that make me feel like a pro. baby steps. because really, i am determined to improve my feelings towards cooking. i don't need my food to taste any better... that's normally not the problem. i just need to not hate the experience so much. ;-)
so anyways, if you're in a rut or in the mood for an actual paper cookbook. i very very highly recommend this one. the recipes are quick, simple, and sooo delicious. they truly are 30 minutes or less and all use really common ingredients so it's cheaper and there's no waste. and if you check out that amazon link, you'll see that it unanimously got 5 stars. except for that one person that rated it 4 stars because she'd ordered it and reviewed it without yet using it. she should go back and change her review to 5 stars... y'know... in my opinion that's what she should do.
