A super speedy delicious classy pork chop, grilled inside!

Indoor Grilled Stuffed Pork Chops

As you know (if you’re local), it’s been winter one day, beach-hot the next. And if you think I’m kidding, please know, I’m really not! We mowed the lawn one day, and the next morning, there was 17 inches of snow on it. Crazy! My flowers were very confused! But once my palate changed over to summer-weather, it was hard for me to go from the grilled taste of foods, back...

My rendition of leaned out Zuppa Toscana

Leaned-out Zuppa Toscana

Alright so today my daughter’s sick, and I’m home with her. Of course when I have a sick kiddo, my leanKitchen becomes a Soup Kitchen! Today, when making the typical chicken soup for my sick daughter’s soul, I had the ingredients to try another soup, and, being home with the time to do it, I tried re-doing a soup that I LOVE. There’s a big chain Italian restaurant in this...

A delicious simple butterflied pork chop topped with mango salsa and served with a side of coconut rice

Island Boar

Ok so maybe I’m a little too fanatical, but when my friend and former suitemate in college, Renee (a fellow LOST addict) told me that she was having an Island themed dinner in celebration of the season 6 premiere, she spurred the most fantastic inspiration. Not only was I jealous (of something aside from her stunning beauty!), but I had to do it too! For those of you who don’t know...

Turkey Chickpea Stew

A while back, I recieved a recipe submission from Kristi S. (she even sent me a sample, which was very delicious by the way- thank you!) Well, over Christmas, I came down with the most hellacious stomach bug I’ve encountered in a while. And given that I have children (aka lil’ petri dishes!), I can assure you that it’s suffice to say, I am knowledgable in the art of encountering...

Crockpot Pork easy enough for any weeknight!

Cyber Monday Crockpot Pork

Crockpot Pork I looooveeee crockpot meat. It makes the house smell awesome, and very, very little work needs to be done to have awesome tender dinner pretty much waiting for you when you get home. Also, with crockpots, you can buy a less expensive cut (usually more tough), and you’re left with meat you can cut with a fork. Economical is GREAT in my book! I started with a 2 lb. pork...

As I said in an earlier post, the day to roast foods is Sunday. I have the day to myself, my babies are helping me cook, and it’s just a pleasant way to spend the afternoon. This weekend, my “victim” was a pork roast that I had thawed.

Eat pork, lose fat!!!

As I said in an earlier post, the day to roast foods is Sunday. I have the day to myself, my babies are helping me cook, and it’s just a pleasant way to spend the afternoon. This weekend, my “victim” was a pork roast that I had thawed. Let me start by saying, while this recipe looks very detailed, it’s not that bad at all. There are seemingly a lot of steps, but my mission...
