Ranch Pork Chops and Green Beans Sheet Pan Dinner





I am so happy the time has changed because that means gardening season is very close. I also love the time change because the sun is still shining when I get off work. Which means I have better lighting for all of my pictures. So that means more blog post coming soon!

I am so excited to share this recipe with you all. It is one of my favorites and it is so simple and easy! 


Ingredients


Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400 F degrees. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  2. Place green beans and pork chops on the baking sheet and drizzle the olive oil over the pork chops and the green beans and toss well.
  3. In a small bowl mix together the ranch seasoning, smoked paprika, oregano and black pepper. Rub the seasoning over the pork chops and the green beans. I didn't find the need for additional salt, but feel free to season with salt to taste.
  4. Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for about 35 to 40 minutes or until the pork chops are cooked through and the green beans are fork tender. The internal temperature of the chops should reach 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) when cooked. Also please note that all ovens are different, and some may take longer and some may require less time.
  5. Garnish with chopped parsley then serve immediately.

The Prettiest Pumpkin Pie 





Happy Fall! I am so excited because my family is coming to my house to eat dinner for the first time since I got married! Since I am hosting them tonight I thought I would make something special. The good thing about this pumpkin pie is it looks beautiful but it tastes better! See below for the recipe! 



  1. 3/4 cup granulated sugar.
  2. 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger.
  4. 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves.
  5. 2 large eggs.
  6. 1 can (15 oz.) LIBBY'S® 100% Pure Pumpkin.
  7. 1 can (12 fl. oz.) NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Evaporated Milk.
  8. 1 unbaked 9-inch (4-cup volume) deep-dish pie shell

To make the leaves around the edge I just used the extra deep dish pie shell and used a leaf cookie cutter and laid them on top of the pie! 

Enjoy!

The Perfect Homemade Pizza 










Tuesday's are for pizza! I would have to say Pizza is my all time favorite food. It's even better when you make it yourself. I have made homemade pizza probably 30 times in my lifetime and it never disappoints. This recipe is for those of you who have a Kitchen Aid. I am sure you could somehow do this without one but this recipe is really for Kitchen Aid use only. 


What you need: 

1 package active dry yeast 
1 cup warm water 
1/2 tsp salt 
2 tsp olive oil 
2 1/2-3 cups of all-purpose flour

Directions:

1. Dissolve yeast in warm water in your kitchen aid mixing bowl. Add salt, olive oil, and flour. Attach bowl and dough hook to your mixer. Turn to speed 2 and mix about 1-2 minutes. (until dough forms into a ball, like above).

2. Place dough in greased bowl, and cover with towel to keep warm. Leave it sitting for about 1 hour. The dough should rise. 

3. Brush your pizza pan with oil. Role out your dough and place on pizza dish. Make the edging of the crust thick so the toppings wont fall off. 

4. Add all of your toppings. In the above image I added green peppers, sausage, ham, and cheese. 

5. Bake at 450 degrees for 15-20 minutes

Enjoy!

Pork in a bag 








Hi Everyone!

This feels weird posting because I am always posting about fashion/ interiors/ and anything pretty. I decided to step it up a notch and start posting about meals. I love cooking, and I would consider myself a pretty good cook. I use to cook every single night when I was in college and then I moved back in with my parents and stopped for awhile because my mom cooked every night. Now that I am married I will be cooking every single night ( I mean that). Any other lady's out there that their husbands have to have a home cooked meal every single night? Yep. I am right there with you. I don't mind cooking because I truly enjoy it. I really like it even more now because I have my own kitchen. Do you ever need recipes for those nights that you want to just stick something in the oven and relax while it's cooking? See below to find that awesome recipe.

The meal above is one of my favorites and it is so simple!

Pork Loin in a bag 

1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Lay a Reynolds Cooking bag in a baking dish.
3. Put the pork loin in the bag ( I usually use a small loin)
4. Add frozen peas and carrots to bag
5. Add Savory Pot Roast Mix to the bag
6. Add 1/2 Cup of water.
7. Tie up the bag and mix everything together
8. Tear a few small holes throughout the bag so the meat can breath while it's cooking
9. Put in the oven for 1 hour 15 minutes
10. ENJOY!

Buttered Asparagus 

 1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Wash the Asparagus
3. Cut the ends off the Asparagus
4. Lay the Asparagus on a baking sheet
5. Add extra Virgin Olive oil
6. Add a few slices of butter
7. Add Salt

Easy and Delicious
