Mega Breakfast!

Meet: Mega Breakfast. My neighbors and I had planned this mega breakfast for a week. We were so excited we even planned to eat it in our PJ's. Most people followed the rules. There were 7 of us eating this meal. So please don't think it was just 4 fatties, there were 3 more plates.

We had the basic bacon, sausage, and scrambled eggs. (I know, we were missing grits, but I thought I was the only one who wanted them, turns out that was a BIG disappointment!) Allison made her amazing Chocolate Chip Pancakes and I also added hashbrown casserole and some mini quiches.

Recipes to follow.

Grilled Pork Chops

These are guestamets here on the ingredients. I forgot to measure.

1/2 cup of soy sauce
5 tbs of brown sugar
1 tiny can of crushed pineapple w/ juice
Thin cut pork chops (I used 2 packs and it made about 10ish)
Salt and Pepper
Corn starch slurry

Combine soy, brown sugar and pineapple in a pot and bring to a boil. Add corn starch slurry to thicken (i used about 1/4 cup water to 2 tbs of corn starch.

Season chops w/ salt and pepper and grill. When they are almost done brush both sides w/ sauce. Serve w/ sauce.

I served these at a BBQ this evening and they turned out great! My friends raved! I didn't take a picture...sorry guys next time!

Sausage n' Rice

I've been working.....a lot. I got a new job a year ago and they just switched me to a new position, Therefore, I am trying to figure out what in the deuce I'm doing and it's causing a little stress and fatigue in my life right now. I made this Sunday night (my only day off this week!) After going to the store and running errands all day I didn't feel much like cleaning a huge mess. Plus, Monday night football tomorrow and we've got peeps coming over. This was probably one of the easiest and cheapest meals I've made in a while. I'm about to feed it to the husband so we'll see how he likes it. I however, think it's great!

1 package smoked sausage
1 Package of yellow rice dinner (the kind w/ the seasoning stuff in it. I use Winn Dixie Brand)
2 1/2 cups water
Cayenne Pepper
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Parsley Flakes

Slice sausage and fry until just browned on both sides in a big ole pot.

Add water and seasoning and bring to a boil.

Add rice package and stir for a minute to make sure all that stuff is combined.

Turn down to low, throw a lid on it and come back in 20.
