Stuffed Pork Chops
These deconstructed-style stuffed pork chops are pure comfort food and easy to make for a hearty midweek meal. My husband loves the stuffing so much I usually double the recipe for the bread crumb mixture and leave everything else the same.
Vietnamese Sandwich
While teaching English in Asia for the past several years, I've been lucky to exchange some delicious and genuine recipes with local people. This Vietnamese banh mi sandwich is awesome and a nice break from the usual sandwiches. The garlic chili sauce is typical in Asian sections of markets, but you can substitute it with Indonesian sambal or Korean chili paste. Beer or red wine is the beverage to serve with this bona fide French-influenced Vietnamese recipe.
Brown Sugar and Mustard Ham Glaze
This brown sugar mustard glaze for ham has a wonderful sweet and sour flavor. This is the recipe that my mother used every holiday. The best part is that you can adjust it to be sweeter by using more brown sugar or sour by using more mustard.
