What WAS on your Plate & WHAT'S for Dinner Tonight 3/22

Post by Kchurchill5 » Tue Mar 22, 2016 3:58 pm

I sort of forgot today ... sorry about that!
Went Fishing from 3am-1:30; so, I've just been playing clean up since getting back.

I took cheese/crackers, dip, fruit, veggies on the boat; then, my friends wife picked us all up subway subs ... So, that was lunch - the other half dinner.

Not a planned day; so, I just had to make do.

Thx, and appreciate it. I catch a lot of fresh fish; but, I always have tilapia in my freezer. There is really so much you can do with it; and, it is affordable too.

Unless it's pork butt I tend to not by pork, like you mentioned it's way to dry I remember pork years ago when it had flavor and juiciness, now it just so bad, sorry about your pork chops

Bagel and CB, good combo. I have enough CB I froze just for a reuben later this weekend.

Pork, sorry it was dry CC. I do know what you mean; and, I am a pork fan.
I try to stick with the REAL thick ones I stuff; or even a medium thickness I stuff. I can stuff with just a basic stuffing mix; or even cheese and dried fruits.

I also like a pork tenderloin; one of my favorite cuts.
I have had fairly good luck with the minute chops; but, the secret is COOK HOT and fast.

And, of course pork butt, and loin are wonderful in the crock pot. They always come out falling apart tender.

Also, bone it are much better than boneless; boneless really tend to dry out quickly. I have had some come out really delicious; and, a few that are really tough. So, I can relate.

One way I love cook cook a medium boneless chop is pan sauteed, just until brown; then, add mushrooms, onions, beer/and, or broth; and, just simmer for 30-45 minutes. They are basically fork tender. NO heavy sauce, just the broth and veggies; great to serve over mashed spuds or noodles.
