Chipotle-Marinated Pork Chops with Chimichurri Sauce: The weather is getting warmer and days longer so I decided to grill this week. This is a cooking light recipe from June 2000. I had some
canned chipotle peppers left from the salad dressing I made last week, so this sounded like a good way to use them.
Results: These pork chops were actually good. I was surprised at how much flavor they had while only marinating in chicken broth and peppers. Love a low fat way to add flavor to a dish. I think I would add another pepper to the marinade the next time. I did not like the chimichurri sauce. Yuk--too much vinegar flavor for me. I will make the pork chops again but never the sauce.
Baked Zucchini Fries: (Not Pictured) I found this recipe on another food blog(Two Peas and Their Pod). I thought it would be a nice substitute for potato fries.
Results: This was the hit of the week. OMG these are delicious. I served with the pork chops but they would be great with a burger as well. I liked this so much, I made it twice this week. Great with ketchup.
Fiery "Fried" Chicken: This is a Real Simple recipe from 2007. I love chicken and this is a low calorie recipe that looks "real simple".
Results: Delicious!! So easy and fast with lots of flavor. The recipe did not say how long to marinate the chicken. I did it all day and it was perfect. I will definitely be making this recipe again and again.
Roasted Cauliflower with Kalamata Vinaigrette: I found this recipe at epicurious.com. I enjoyed the roasted cauliflower I prepared a few weeks ago so much that I decided to try this one with the kalamata vinaigrette.
Results: This was great and the Kalamata Vinaigrette was to die for. I loved it on the roasted cauliflower. So yummy. I cant wait to serve this to guests.
