So sorry I haven't posted in a while. I will try to get back to it soon. I am just putting up a quick post to let you all know that I haven't quit already, I have just been crazy busy with school and haven't had the time to devote to this. Not to mention, Eric left for 6 weeks so I haven't been doing a whole lot of cooking. I will try to get a couple new recipes up toward the end of next week.
Hope all is well out there in the "real world." Take care and you'll be hearing from me again soon.

Quickie Peach Cobbler
A.K.A. a dump cake
This isn't one I have made recently but it is Eric's favorite dessert and one of my good friends just asked for it AGAIN. :-) So I thought I would put it up on here.
Ingredients:
2 large cans or 4 small cans of sliced peaches (juice drained from half and kept from half)
1 yellow cake mix
2 sticks of butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Dump Peaches (including half the juice) in the bottom of a 9 X 13 pan. Spread cake mix evenly over peaches. Cut butter into small cubes and spread out over top of cake mix. Bake for 1 hr. to 1 hr. 15 minutes, until top is almost completely golden brown and bubbly.

Caramel Apple Pork Chops
Sorry it has been a while since I put a new recipe up. See what I mean about not keeping up. School has kind of been stressing me out the last week. These short semesters are going to kick my butt.
So we tried these Sunday night and they were really yummy!! Not quite what I was expecting or hoping for but still definitely worth making again. Let me know if you have any suggestions on how to change them.
Ingredients:
4 - 6 pork chops (I used about 1/2 - 3/4 inch thick boneless chops)
vegetable oil (or canola or whatever you use)
salt & pepper to taste
minced or crushed garlic to taste
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
2 apples, peeled, cored & sliced (original recipe called for tart but I used galas and it turned out fine)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Pour a little oil in the pan and heat it up. Add garlic and saute just a touch to bring out the flavor. Add the pork chops. ( I seasoned mine first with my usual seasonings I put on almost everything - garlic powder, fresh ground black pepper, and cayenne pepper.) Brown on both sides until almost done or just done. Transfer to 9 X 13 baking dish. Add butter to same pan. When just melted, add brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt & pepper, and apples. Cook until apples are just tender. Pour apples and sauce over pork chops in 9 X 13 pan. Put in the oven to bake for 20 -30 minutes.
My original intention had been to serve over rice, but there wasn't enough sauce to serve with 3 - 4 servings of rice, so I made mashed potatoes. I contemplated adding some apple juice to stretch the sauce, but I didn't have any on hand so I haven't tried that yet. Again, if anybody comes up with a way to improve this one, let me know.
