Toast Slices with Pork and Chutney

June 25, 2010 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

I needed some finger food to bring to a party the other night and browsed through How to Cook Without a Book for some ideas. She has a nice collection of easy appetizers in the back, most of which you’ll often have the ingredients for on hand.  In this case, I had a leftover pork [...]

Pork Scallopini with Mushroom Sauce from Jacques Pepin

May 18, 2010 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

Another good recipe from Fast Food My Way by Jacques Pepin. You can browse through a lot of great video clips here and print off the recipes for many of the dishes. I’ve been watching this series through my Netflix subscription, not available on demand alas. But well worth watching–and I’m not a big cooking [...]

Simple Pan Fried Pork Chops with Country Gravy

March 2, 2010 by Ellen · 1 Comment 

Near as I can tell, “country” gravy means it’s made with milk instead of broth. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.  This was a totally easy gravy to make since you didn’t need to worry about mixing things together and making a roux, incorporating the liquid, etc.  So try it!  I was skeptical but it [...]

Parmesan Pork Cutlets

Tonight I made  Parmesan Pork Chops.  Even my daughter that “doesn’t like pork much” enjoyed these tonight.  I served with some applesauce, baked potato and green salad. 1/2 cup flour 2 eggs 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese 3/4 cup bread crumbs 4 thin boneless pork cutlets (or cook longer if thicker) salt and pepper to [...]

Ham Panini Sandwiches with …

November 15, 2009 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

I had a few nights this week where it was just me for dinner!  Wow. Not used to cooking for one.  I had some ham so both nights ended making ham paninis with various fixings and a simple green salad with tomatoes from the garden. First up was a Panini sandwich with some thinly sliced [...]

Oh So Simple White Bean and Ham Soup

November 8, 2009 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

This is from The Supper Book: 10th Anniversary Edition by Marion Cunningham. Kind of funny–you can buy a hardcover of this on Amazon (used) for $3 (plus shipping) but the paperback version, that I have is $8 (still a deal!). This is so simple, but so delicious. Certainly frugal, let’s see $1 for the beans, [...]

Ham, Cheese and Apple Panini

October 6, 2009 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

I made some macaroni and cheese tonight for dinner but felt like we needed a bit more as well, plus I was bringing dinner over to my broken-leg neighbor. I decided on a small panini and brought him some vegetable soup from last night as well.  I had some ham and cheddar cheese as the [...]

Pulled Pork in the Crockpot

September 8, 2009 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

My youngest requested pulled pork sandwiches and pork shoulder was on sale! I like it when requests line up with sales!  I’ve done a few pulled pork variations in the past, including this pulled pork in the slow cooker where you basically make your own barbecue sauce with onions, garlic, chili powder, black pepper, chili [...]

My Favorite Barbecue Sauce Recipe

August 21, 2009 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

I experiment now and then but I keep coming back to this one. It’s so simple. I always have the ingredients on hand. It goes together quickly. I usually serve it with ribs, slow cooked over a 300 F grill for a few hours, turning every 45 minutes. 1 cup ketchup 1/2 cup cider vinegar [...]
