Ranch Pork Chops - Crock Pot Style

*This recipe has been made so many times in my household! You can use chicken or pork as both work really well! 
When Hubby comes home on Tuesday, I plan to have this going in the crockpot to make his day ;-)


The very first time I made this, Hubby opted to take me out that evening so we ended up reheated this and served with some mashed potatoes and whew ... it was very very tasty!

Those items above? That's all you need in addition to the pork chops.  Seriously.

One packet of ranch dressing
One can of cream of chicken soup
1 tsp fresh garlic chopped
black pepper

You are chopping your garlic in mass quantities, right?


I mean really. All you do is spray the crockpot with spray, toss in the chop. Mix up the balance of ingredients in small bowl and spread over the chops.

Go ahead and toss in any chopped onions you see in the fridge ...


Put a lid on the crockpot and make yet another mental note to find a new handle to replace the broken one ...



Set the timer to low as long as it goes. In my case, it was 10 hours, which, sorry, it was NOT going to cook THAT long ...


Come home and marvel at the fact that a mere 10 to 15 minutes that morning created THIS ... a meal worthy of cloth napkins and fine china ... 

Yes, really. It's pretty damn good! Go ahead and give it a shot! So, you want a even quick tip? Buy those pre-made frozen bags of mashed potatoes to reheat while you toss a quick salad together and then you will have a nice dinner on a Wednesday evening! That's what's for dinner!

*This is SO not what I eat on a day to day basis ... I don't like canned soup and packaged seasoning mix BUT I am a believer that some days you just need to close your eyes and move forward. This is a great, tasty meal and if you have any healthier alternatives to the soup and ranch mix, please share! 

Looking forward to sharing with some of these GREAT Parties ... go check them out!

Smelly Shoe Fix!

Image
Honestly, we have real good hygiene habits in my house, I can assure you of that! But, lets face it, living in paradise with 125% humidity can be a little trying sometimes ... my running shoes (which have NOT seen much running action for quite a while) get a little ripe smelling ... and oh man, you should smell the shoes that Hubby wears outside in the yard, patio, garage and boat that constantly get wet ... enough to suck the oxygen right out of your body ... whew! Then you have the Boy ... who works out pretty darn hard and doesn't always wear socks, nor does the Princess ... I mean, seriously, I've had to throw shoes away because you could smell them just sitting there. No one wants to be the person that people are wrinkling their nose at when they are walking by you! So when I saw the featured post for the Smelly Shoe Solution (and dang, I'm still trying to find the original post because I had no need to bookmark it, such a simple fix!) Yes. That's IT!

Non Toxic Mosquito Spray

Image
Let's face it, living in Paradise does have a few drawbacks with the #1 complaint being ... BUGS. Yeah, bugs.  Mostly mosquitoes that can just ruin an evening of relaxation on the patio ... those pesky little guys can really do a number on you quickly!  Heaven forbid if you are one of those who are very sensitive to the bites (the Boy), you will have welts in no time. So Hubby always decides to spray AFTER everyone starts swatting the air and scratching. We have to gather up our drinks and appetizers, go indoors and wait for 20 minutes or so for the toxic fog to flat away ... only to be swatting and scratching AGAIN in 30 minutes. After seeing THIS tip a few too many times, I figured, what the heck, $5 at Walmart is worth it to try, right? Guess what?  It seems to work!!!  I need to do a few more nights to say for certain but I say it's WAY better than that can of toxic stuff ... and cheaper to boot! You must use the ORIGINAL flavor, and yes, it nee

Rice Cooker - Hard Boiled Eggs

Image
One of the things I picked up at Costco was a new Rice Cooker. The one I have, well, I gave that to the Boy when he went away to college (so he could make his macaroni and cheese), not to mention, it was small as heck, like mini size! So, I figured, you know, Hubby likes to make rice occasionally. The Boy makes brown rice in the microwave every other day and leaves the bubbly residue behind for ME to find when I go to heat something up (I hate a dirty microwave, totally wigs me out and sends me running for the windex!) ... so I grabbed the rice cooker ($29.95), a 10 pound bag of organic brown rice and a 20 pound bag of Basmati rice. I'm asking myself now, a whole week later, what the hell am I going to do with 20 pounds of Basmati rice? Anyways. Then I was reading the recipe booklet that came along with the cooker. They had one recipe that said to add the eggs, unshelled, to the steamer basket.  Ok. That made me re-read it a few times. Unshelled? Did they mean out of the shell?
