Sending Love to Manchester

Dacia and I want to send our heartfelt prayers, LOVE, and light to all affected by the tragedy that occurred in Manchester, England.

Malt Vinegar & Worcestershire Sauce Marinade

I forgot to take a picture sadly.

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons malt vinegar

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

2 teaspoon minced garlic

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons olive oil

Mix all together* and pour over meat and marinade at least 8 hours. When done marinating throw the marinade away.

Notes*

I mix all ingredients in a plastic baggie and then add the meat so I have less to clean up.

Malt Vinegar & Worcestershire Grilled Pork Chops

Made these the other night and it is a definite keeper for the family recipe book!

Ingredients:

4 boneless pork chops 1/2" thick

Malt Vinegar & Worcestershire Sauce Marinade*

Directions:

Marinate the pork chops in the marinade for at least 8 hours to overnight. 

I use an electric grill heated to med-high.

Spray the grill with a non-stick spray.

Place pork chops on the grill and cook 6 minutes on one side and 2 on the other or until the meat is cooked through. 
Always make sure pork is cooked all the way because you can get sick if its not.
I always cut into one since every time you cook with an appliance it may heat differently.

Makes 2-4 servings

Note*
The Malt Vinegar & Worcestershire Sauce Marinade is in the next post.

Reheating Fried Chicken

Heat oven to 350f

Place the fried chicken on a microwave safe plate. Cover with paper towel. Heat 1 to 1 1/2 minutes on high.

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place chicken pieces onto the foil and bake for 20 minutes for just thighs and legs if breast add 5 to 10 minutes more.

Asian Stir Fried Snow Peas

I love snow peas and this is my favorite way to eat them, I serve them anytime I crave them and with any main entree.

Ingredients:

12 oz snow peas

2 teaspoons peanut oil

1 teaspoon sesame oil

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar

Directions:

In a non-stick skillet or wok add the oils and when heated up add the rest of the ingredients. 

Stir fry until the snow peas are cooked to your taste. Serve while hot.

Orange Dream Ice Cream w/ Orange Chocolate Pieces

I had a leftover orange chocolate candy ball leftover from the holidays in the freezer so added it to the ice cream which was an instant hit.

Orange flavored chocolate* broken into pieces

I take a Terry's Milk Chocolate Orange and break up half of it into pieces. 

Orange Dream Ice Cream

We have been playing with a new "toy" in the kitchen. We bought an electric ice cream maker and the boys have been willing test subjects. Orange Dream is a take on the Dreamcicle which is popular with the boys in the family. 

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups heavy cream

1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 cups orange juice* 

1 cup sugar

Directions: 

Mix together all ingredients then place in your ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturers directions. 

It is a soft serve so freeze quickly. 

Makes 4 to 6 servings depending on who is eating!

Notes* I used the Simply Orange brand because it is my favorite! But you can use what you like and even use fresh squeezed if you like.
