This dish had been on my radar since Pam posted it back in February on her now closed Pam’s Midwest Kitchen Korner blog. With a dish named after a big favorite of mine and with fall weather here, it seemed like the perfect time to give it a try. Pam’s post also included some interesting info about “The Duke” as well as pics of the dish.
In my role as Wagonmaster (Activity Coordinator), my job is to make the social events happen for our local chapter of the FMCA (Family Motor Coach Association). Our main events are rallies where we gather at a campground for several days for exploration and socializing. While we sometimes go to a campground without seeing it first-hand we usually like to have seen it first either by me or the person hosting the rally (Rally Master).
In beginning to put our plans together for 2022, I thought I
might like to be the Rally Master for a trip to Blue Ridge, Ga. It is a nice small town in the North GA
mountains with plenty of things to do and places to eat – our two main
activities - and since it’s only a two-hour drive, we decided to make a day
trip to look at two potential campgrounds, meet some other club members for
lunch, look around town, and visit the local apple orchard. Here is an aerial view of town from the web.
I like pork chops and I like peppercorn sauce so when I saw this recipe from Pam on her For The Love Of Cooking blog, I knew it had to be made. I considered grilling the chops but then Bev said her favorite chops have always been “like Mama made” – floured and pan fried - so I stuck with Pam’s version. Her recipe is for two chops but I had ten, so I amended the amounts to get the ingredients below plus I didn’t use the oven to cook them. You can click on the above link for the original recipe and Pam’s great presentation pics.
I didn’t want to do a separate post for these two dishes, but I still wanted them documented so I combined into a short post about each.
Chille Rellenos
I’ve had this recipe on my radar since seeing it on Theffeed and when Bev brought home a fillet of wild caught Sockeye salmon, I decided to give it a go. I followed the recipe as written with just a small change.
Bev suggested Chicken Piccata for supper and I recalled Trisha’s recipe for it on her Saving Room For Dessert Blog. We had used the recipe for pork in the past but not for chicken and I modified it some to get the recipe below. You can get the original recipe by clicking on the above link along with some of her great pics like this one of her delicious looking dish.
Based upon reading about the healthy Mediterranean diet in the past, we continue to try to eat plenty of beans so when I saw the recipe forSlow Simmered Bean with Bacon Soup on Pam’s For The Love Of Cooking blog, I knew it needed to be tried. I followed the recipe as written and shown below, but you can visit her blog for some of her always good pics.
