Tri Traveling Foodie

This meal is very easy and wonderful to take to a gathering. Ingredients: salad dressing- (recipe is also in the January archives)           1 cup mayonaise           1/3 cup sugar           1/4 cup apple cider vinegar bacon 1/2 yellow and orange peppers diced 1 cup raisins 1 head of broccoli chopped 1 package of bacon (cooked and patted dry to get off the excess fat) Directions: In a large bowl, crumble the bacon. Add the raisins, broccoli, diced peppers and the salad dressing. Mix well together and Voila! Make sure you stir the salad well because the dressing will seep to the bottom of the bowl. Enjoy!

One Pan Meal means easy cleanup! This recipe is going to make you a brussel sprout lover too! 1 pound brussels sprouts (fresh or frozen) handful of broccoli 1 head of fresh garlic olive oil 2 pork chops with bone (you can use any meat with this meal) Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Oil the pan, and add the brussels sprouts/ broccoli. Then peel half of the garlic head and cut into small chunks.  Take the rest of the garlic (leave the paper on) and separate the cloves. Add the garlic to the pan. Stir everything around in the oil. Use a little salt and pepper to taste. Bake covered for 30 minutes.  Then push the vegetables to one side, and add your seasoned pork chops. Cover and bake until the meat is done. I had thick pork chops with a bone. It took 30 minutes to cook without drying them out. I recommend cooking them for 20 minutes then cutting the meat to see if it is done to your liking. You can eat the garlic that has the paper. It is roasted
