As we all know, I’ve been away from the blog for quite a while. So, naturally, I’m a little rusty. But I didn’t know how rusty until I finished No. 152 and looked back to my notes: That is literally “all she wrote.” I abandoned it before I even started it. But I didn’t necessarilyContinue reading 152. Italian Pork Chops
So, almost one month later, I decided to try to re-make my Chopped appetizer—same ingredients and same time frame. In case you forgot—the ingredients were pork chops, apple sauce, frozen mixed vegetables, and cheese ball. This is was my television result: For the re-do the only thing I had to buy was the pork.Continue reading Re-Chopped: Polynesian Pork & Pineapple Skewer with Applesauce Puree
Sooooooo, sometimes I will half-write a post, put it in my draft folder, and return to it at a much later date. This is definitely one of those instances.

Baked Stuffed Pork Chops
Hello, friends! Today’s post is rather fitting for Martin Luther King Day—Dr. King was quite the influence on Elvis Presley; it was MLK’s death only two months prior to the NBC broadcast of Elvis (a.k.a. the 1968 Comeback Special) that inspired “If I Can Dream,” the closing number. In fact, direct quotes from Dr. King are included in theContinue reading Elvis’ Country Kitchen Soup & Mustard Greens with Potatoes (Southern Style)
Kittens, this dinner, #15, you wanna know how long ago I made this? I made it back in February to commemorate the 2-year anniversary of Dinner is Served! 1972, and my 2 year anniversary with Brian! That’s a loooong time ago. You may recall the cake I made: But before the cake, DiS! regulars LeahContinue reading 15. Pork Chops Florentine
