Cranberry Mustard Porkchops

I wasn't able to get a picture of this delicious meal, as it was wolfed down so quickly by everyone, including Scotland, who rarely eats meat.

Cranberry Mustard Porkchops

4 pork chops
5 tsp dijon mustard
1/3 cup cranberry juice
1 garlic clove, minced
salt and pepper, to taste

In a bowl combine the dijon mustard, cranberry juice, and minced garlic.  In a shallow dish, place the pork chops in a single layer, and cover with the mustard mixture, coating all of the pork chops. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least an hour. (I left it in the fridge for about 24 hours.)
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat (I used a large cast iron) and when it's hot, add a bit of oil.  Add the pork chops and marinade. Cover the skillet partially and cook for 6-7 minutes.  Turn the pork chops over and cook for another 5-10 minutes depending on how thick your pork chops are, uncovered, until cooked through.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. (It's in the recipe but I didn't do it.  I found it wasn't necessary.) Pour sauce over the pork chops and enjoy.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Happy Homemaker Monday

   As I look outside my window::: So far today, it is cold and gloomy! Right now I am:::  Sitting on the couch under my crocheted afghan. Thinking and pondering::: On Thanksgiving!  What to fix.  I think I'm getting carried away, but I love it.  On my bedside table::: I haven't been doing much reading lately and I should. Duck Commander Family by Willie and Korie Robertson Frozen by Sarah Nathan and Sela Roman On my tv tonight::: American Horror Story Some Doctor Who specials Playing on the radio::: I don't have anything playing right now, but I'm obsessed with James Blunt's new song, Bonfire Heart. The video is amazing too.  I love the story behind the video.  The people in it are NOT actors.  The wedding scene towards the end, he actually crashed a wedding and captured the bride and grooms first dance.  Amazing.  And, not only is his voice and music wonderful, he's a total hottie. On the menu for ...

Blogmas 2014 - Day 13 How Are You Counting Down To Christmas

Ok, honestly....  I'm not.  I have this gorgeous advent calendar that is 3 building with little numbered doors all over them.  I haven't gotten it out for lack of space and really small children.  Maybe next year.  Also, Ben has been all over the lego ones and stuff so I figure, I'll pick up some next year or as I see them now this year, so each kid can have their own next year.  I don't know maybe I'll just make them if I'm feeling crafty and find the time.  It actually hit us all at once on Saturday that Christmas was less than 2 weeks away.
