View Article  Gift from Melissa
by Angie on Wed 24 Dec 2008 11:43 AM CST

I try to stay on top of things and, believe it or not, I try not to complain about how busy and tired I stay.  I love my family and I love taking care of Simon and the kids.  Simon is always telling me to chill out and take a break, but I feel like the house of cards will collapse if I do.  Since we moved, however, everything seems disorganized and difficult to complete.  I'm constantly behind.  Simon and the kids help around the house A LOT.  But the laundry always seems to get away from me.  I do one load and three appear by the next day.  I do three, and there are five waiting for me.  The clothes seems to be breeding!

Yesterday when Melissa was here to get the kids to spend the holidays with her, she helped the kids go through all of the dirty laundry and she took everything that was theirs with her.  As a gift to me, she's doing all of the kids' laundry!  How cool is that?!

Melissa, thanks for picking up my slack!  You rock!

View Article  Teriyaki Pork Chops with Blueberry-Ginger Relish
by Angie on Tue 23 Dec 2008 11:59 AM CST

This is one of those recipes that will leave people asking you what chef school you attended.  It's full of anti-oxidants, simple to make, and extremely tasty!  I broil the chops instead of doing them on the grill...

Teriyaki Pork Chops with Blueberry-Ginger Relish

  • Prep Time 30 min.
  • Cook Time -
  • Serves 4
1. Ingredients
  1. 4 bone-in center-cut pork chops, trimmed of fat
  2. 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  3. 2 tablespoons dry sherry (see Ingredient note)
  4. 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  5. 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  6. 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  7. 1 cup fresh blueberries, coarsely chopped
  8. 1 shallot, chopped
  9. 1 serrano chile, seeded and minced
  10. 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
  11. 1 tablespoon lime juice
  12. 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
  13. 1/4 teaspoon salt
2. Cooking Directions
  1. To marinate: Place pork chops in a large sealable plastic bag. Whisk soy sauce, sherry, garlic, brown sugar and crushed red pepper in a small bowl. Add the marinade to the bag, seal and turn to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  2. To prepare relish: About 20 minutes before grilling the pork, combine blueberries, shallot, chile, cilantro, lime juice, ginger and salt in a small bowl.
  3. Preheat grill to high. Remove the pork chops from the marinade (discard marinade). Grill the chops 3 to 5 minutes per side. Let them rest for 5 minutes before serving with the relish.

Yield: 4 servings
