Simply Delicious

I love to cook but only when I'm in the mood. Unfortunately, the other night I wasn't really in the mood for cooking or even for eating for that matter but I had thawed pork chops in the fridge and was afraid if I left them much longer they would go bad. So, I came home from a busy day at work and set myself to make this dish that I saw on the website "Simply Recipes." I didn't make any sides to go with it because I really didn't think I would even eat it that night but once I took the first bite, I was smitten and ate a whole chop for dinner.

This might just be the best dish I have ever made. It's called Porkchops with Mushroom Bourbon Cream Sauce. Other than cooking the liquids down more than the recipe called for and using two different kinds of mushrooms because I couldn't remember or find the ones the recipe called for at the grocery store, I pretty much stuck to the recipe. I think I also cooked the pork longer but it came out so juicy. I don't cook juicy pork. I usually over cook pork as a matter of fact because I grew up in the age where beef was served raw and pork and chicken were cooked 'til they were a step away from being jerky.

Simply amazing! And, the leftovers have heated well in the microwave since. Check out the blog/website. I've found other great stuff there too.

That looks fantastic. Unfortunately, I don't eat pork. Wondering if it would work with chicken?

Wow. Sounds delicious! And Turk just came home with pork chops too ~ I am lacking only cream, eggs, mushrooms, whiskey....

Ok. Maybe next time. :)

Bridgett: It might work with chicken, even the breading part. I'll try it some time and let you know. When I find something I like I get OCD with it for a while so I'm sure I'll be making it again soon.

Gigi: hahahahaha...too bad you don't live closer I would totally lend you a cup of whiskey and an egg. It took me a while to build up the list of ingredients. I don't drink bourbon! ack...

Robbie! OH. My. These look divine! I will have to try this.

I hope you're doing well. I haven't been online much at all, and won't be one here much for a few weeks, but wanted to visit a few blogs I haven't visited in a very long time. I'm glad I stopped by here. You take care and have a wonderful new year!
