Hey Stephanie you like pork chops? This is my favorite pork chop recipe: (for two)
2 Center cut bone in thick chops
1/4 cup flour
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 medium bell pepper (any color you like)
1\2 cup sweet roasted bell pepper (the kind that comes brined in a jar) chopped
1\2 cup hot cherry pepper, chopped (this can also be the jar kind)
1\4 cup white cooking wine
1\4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
heat olive oil in deep skillet. dip chops in flour to coat both sides, shaking off any excess. place chops in skillet, cook thoroughly on both sides (about 15-20 minutes per side) season w/salt & pepper.
Remove chops from skillet, and add chopped peppers with minced garlic. cook until tender, about 3-5 minutes. Add white wine with lemon juice. let simmer for 5-10 minutes. serve with chops.

:1 onion, chopped
2/3 cup finely chopped scallion
2 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
11/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

18 chicken wings (about 3 1/4),pounds, the wing tips cut off and reserved for another use
Marinade: In a food processor or blender puree the onion, the scallion, the garlic, the thyme, the salt, the allspice, the nutmeg, the cinnamon, the jalapeno, the black pepper, the hot sauce, the soy sauce and the oil.
In a large shallow dish arrange the wings in 1 layer and spoon the marinade over them, rubbing it in. Let the wings marinate, covered and chilled, turning them once, for at least 1 hour or, preferably, overnight.
*You can cook these in the oven @ 450 degrees, but they are far better on the grill!*
Crack open a Red Stripe, put Marley on the CD Player, and chow on some wings and you'll swear you are in Jamaica
I'm enjoying a delish Banana-Date Shake right now. Just pit 6 Medjool dates, put them in a blender with half a banana, blend with 1/3 cup of water, and then mix with a cup of milk and enough vanilla ice cream, yum....
