By far one of the best recipes for porkchops I've ever tried... my friends are always wanting an encore. I made a sourcream/mayo cream sauce with chopped cilantro and the left over seasoning... was VERY awesome. I'm sure making other meats in this way would be just as phenomenal. -
There's a few things I wouldn't mind poking with a sharp knife...politicians, the IRS, people who excessively use the word "like" and a good chop! One for my best of 2014. -
These pork chops are awesome! Perfect served with cilantro-lime rice and a fresh salad.

I am 46 years old and have two children, both no longer live at home, so now I am back to cooking for just hubby and me:} My husband and I own a contruction company and we both work all the time. So cooking is my hobby, my stress reliever. I love to cook savory recipes like stews and soups. Italian, mmmmm. French, oo la la.....
