Minnesota Pork Chops
This is a very good recipe that I got from my home state, Minnesota. Every summer when we come and visit, we are sure to buy wild rice for this casserole.
Super Easy Oven-Roasted Okra
This roasted frozen okra is a really easy recipe. Being a full-time employee and a mom of a toddler, I always look for easy and healthy recipes. This one uses spices like curry, ginger, and turmeric. It's so easy to put together, and it turns out very well. When you roast the okra, you'll notice the slime goes away — that's what I like about this recipe. You don't have to monitor it. Just put it in the oven, and it's done.
Beef Short Rib French Onion Soup
This French onion soup with beef short ribs has great flavor and is a bit more hearty than the classic. The microwave-, oven-, and dishwasher-safe crocks cost around $30 for a set of four and come in handy for all sorts of things, so they are worth it.
