Pan-Fried Pork Chops
Few things are as easy to prepare as these pan-fried boneless pork chops. They take only minutes to prepare! The emphasis is on the great flavor of pork, so if you'd like more seasoning, go for it. For perfectly done chops, always use a meat thermometer.
Delicious Egg Salad
This egg salad recipe is the best and easy to make with chopped hard-boiled eggs, mayonnaise, and mustard. I like to add green onions for some color and crunch. It tastes wonderful in a sandwich and will definitely be devoured at picnics! It's really good on rye.
Slow Cooker Baby Back Ribs
These slow cooker ribs are the best — they turn out perfect every time! They cook in a crockpot until tender, then are covered with barbeque sauce and finished in the oven for fall-apart ribs. Perfect for during the week as the slow cooker does most of the work!
