Pork Chops in the microwave!

I made this recipe last night (2/12/2012)

Microwave Spiced Pork Chops - Yields 4 Servings
2” thick boneless loin, pork chops, trimmed of fat 1 Tbsp lime juice
2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
Seasoned Bread Crumbs:
1/3 c dried bread crumbs mixed w/ pinch of cayenne \
1 tsp minced garlic
¼ tsp ground cumin ¼ tsp oregano
¼ tsp salt

Rub pork chops with lime juice and coat with cilantro. In 1 ¾ Qt. Tupperwave Casserole, microwave butter and garlic for 1 ½ minutes or until it sizzles. Dip pork chops in garlic butter, then in seasoned breading. Place in center of pie plate. Sprinkle with remaining seasoned breading, drizzle on butter. Cover and microwave on medium high for 6 minutes. Turn over and rotate and microwave, for 6 minutes longer or until center is no longer pink. Breadcrumbs create moist topping.


Here was the recipe I tried, I got this from my Tupperware director's website, thank you Jamie!

It was super delicious! and I DID take pictures.. however... we formatted the SD card the pictures was on.. and now I dont have any.

The pork chops were perfect, moist, and had just a bit of spice to them. I sauteed some asparagus and made some stuffing to go with. I loved it, K loved it, and J didnt get to try it, although there was leftovers. I guess I will just have to take it to work... OH DARN!  =)

Random Microwave cooking

So, this was a few days ago, I apologize for not posting sooner...

This was a chicken I cooked in the microwave on Feb 7, 2012. Came out PERFECT after 30 minutes in the microwave.

Now.. I decided to experiment in the stack cooker, instead of following any recipe. I did base the sauce off of this recipe, which you should seriously make as well! it is SO GOOD.

Anyway...

I decided to do mushrooms and asparagus for the vegetables to serve with the chicken.

 I used my wonderful Tupperware quick chef to chop up the mushrooms into smaller chunks.

 I have a TON of asparagus.. about 3 weeks of Bountiful Baskets worth.. which have kept beautifully in my Medium Long Fridgesmart (from Tupperware of course!)  I chopped off the ends, then cut them in half.

I mixed lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper to put in with the pcs of chicken that I cut up. Off to the side (yes on the stove... ) I melted butter and added green onion to it to simmer right before the rest of this was finished.
 Now, this is the reason why this item is called the Stack Cooker.. You STACK it, and cook multiple foods at once.! I am missing a piece though....   I have the larger casserole section, which I could have put potatoes in...  I have the colander, which I put the veggies in, then I turned the lid upside down and put the cut up pcs of chicken in. 

Pop it in the microwave.. 

Now typical rule is 25 minutes for chicken breasts, I did realize after that since I cut mine up I probably didnt have to put it in as long. 

Now here is the pasta maker. I have made 3 things of pasta in here, and its come out perfect every time, so I thought I would try eggnoodles. Now, the pamphlet says that egg noodles are iffy, but I decided to try it anyway.

I popped this in without the lid right after the chicken and vegetables were done. It said 6 minutes.. didnt turn out.. so I tried it for another 6 minutes, and it was just BLEH! I ended up throwing it out! I did make instant mashed potatoes to take its place though.. LIFE SAVER

 

Now, here is the end result. I am sorry about the pictures, they were taken with my phone and the lighting is not great in my kitchen. (and yes, that IS a True Blood glass...)

So here is when I realized I didnt have to cook diced chicken as long.. it was a little dry, luckily the juice kept it from drying out too much, and the veggies were very well done, but very delicious too!

I mixed the butter and chives in with the lemon sauce from the chicken, cooked it a bit longer, then dumped it over the chicken, put the veggies and mashed potatoes on the side, and it was a hit! I will definitely be making this again. Anything I can get K to eat without having to hid the chicken first is a must make again dinner!

Oh, I also made this on Valentine's day... J had to work so he had to heat his up for leftovers, but he still enjoyed it!

Tonight.. I try PORK CHOPS in the microwave! woo!

Meal Planner Updates

So, thanks to this idea from pinterest... I decided to do this for my weekly meal planning so I don't have to waste paper or ink. Yay!

So went to Wal-mart, and at first couldn't find anything like the frame I needed. My grandma was digging around looking, and she finally found the exact one that was pictured on pinterest. It was $10, yay! I also got dry erase makers and the stuff that cleans off white boards.

 

I decided to go ahead and use what I already had for Kiera's scrapbook, since I didnt feel like having to go buy more paper just for this project.

Luckily, I had enough letters to spell out "Our Week" though I was out of "k" so I got creative (oh gee..) and used an R and cut off the top piece.

So not to bore anyone with details, I cut all the squares out from different papers, and wrote the days of the week on each one, then stuck them in the frames. The one on Pinterest starts on Sunday, but I start my weeks on Monday. It's just easier for me. 

 

J loves the idea, and he thinks I did a great job on it, though I might do a bit more on the frame itself. There are a few dings and chips in the frame that I would want to cover up, but other then that, I am pretty happy with the result. It was so easy! Now I just need to make sure I stick to the menu planning every week!
