Recipe Alert: Peanut Butter Pork Chops

I know..."ick!", right?!?! Don't knock it 'til you try it! I discovered this recipe MANY years ago in one of the very first cookbooks that my Mama gave to me when I got married almost 11 years ago. QVC's Mary Beth Roe is an amazing cook with several cookbooks out and I have to tell you, no matter how many cookbooks I get over the years, Roe's "Kitchen Bibles" are always my way to go, whether I'm cooking for just my family, a function at church, or entertaining guests.

There's a wonderful story in the cookbook introducing this recipe where Mary Beth talks about having dinner with Disney's original "Mousketeer", Annette Funicello where this memorable dish was served for the first time, earning the nickname "Mickey Mouse Chops".

I knew this recipe was a hit, when I introduced RJ to it at 2 years of age. When he looked up at me with those beautiful brown eyes, with not a drop of food on his shirt and proudly proclaimed "more", I knew we had a winner! I've made this recipe time and time again and there's not one soul that doesn't love it! I serve the chops with white rice and seasonable veggies. I promise, give this recipe a try and your family will be hooked!

Bursts of Inspiration: "Amazing Grace!"

Joel Osteen's visit to Norfolk, VA on August 20th, 2010 was a new day for me. It opened doors that I didn't even know existed. The chains are gone, I've been set free. Changes are not in the future, they are now. This will be an Ephesians 3:20 year and I praise the Lord for what he is doing!

Recipe Alert: Rachael Ray's "Charlie's Sliders!"

It's been an unusual Summer morning, I must say! We all went to bed extremely early and I was up before 4 a.m.!! I haven't done that since the kids were in school! My body must be kicking back into "school mode" considering that it's "tax-free weekend" for school supplies and clothes here in the beautiful state of Virginia!

While browsing the net this morning, I came across this fab slider recipe and I can't wait to try it! There's absolutely nothing more amazing on this earth than an awesome burger and these look FANTASTIC! Not to mention, if us ladies have the one (or two) that we should ONLY be having, then these little bad boys should be an excellent way to cut out some calories, especially if you use ground chicken or turkey!

Here's the link to the recipe...
