Apple Cider and Spice Pork Chops
This recipe was an accident. I was experimenting with flavors and wasn't expecting much out of it, but the apple cider addition yielded some of the best pork I've ever tasted (and the boyfriend agreed).
Grandpa's Popcorn Balls
My Great Grandpa Apell made these old-fashioned crunchy popcorn balls for all his grandkids at Christmastime. He had a huge farm in Illinois with prize-winning corn. He lived to be 106 and claimed workin' the farm and eatin' corn was the secret!
