Lamb Scallopini with Pepper and Onion Agrodolce
Every year around Easter we normally do some kind of roast lamb recipe, like a big ol' leg of lamb, which is perfect for a large family gathering, but I have a feeling this year's gonna be a little bit different--so we're gonna go with nice, thin medallions. Unlike those large, more expensive cuts of meat, this is super easy to achieve perfect doneness, which means less anxiety and stress. Serve with crispy pan-fried potatoes.
Cajun Pork Chops
My family loves these spicy, fried pork chops. Quick and easy to make! I've used bone-in pork steaks instead, and just increased cooking time per side a couple of minutes
Spiced Tea Mix
This delicious dry spiced tea mix can be packed in jars and given as gifts. It can also be prepared sugar-free using a sugar-free, orange-flavored drink mix and sugar-free iced tea mix.
