Alarm.......snooze......snooze again......Zip pacing by the bed.....Ohhhhh for the love of coffee - just get out of bed!  Needless to say, I've still been numb and in shock, but now that all the education has settled in and I've had time to think and talk to Mom and bunch.....I'm angry.  I realize this is a normal emotion to experience, but I'm exhausted and angry beyond words.  Must find a way to get a grip on this. How about finding another yummo recipe for dinner!

Special shout out to my wonderful husband who has been nothing but loving and supportive these past few days.  I only cooked him a (very) late lunch yesterday but we've gotten take-out for dinner for a few nights in a row. :-(

But first - this is my inspirational quote for the day:

Ok so here we go:

CrockPot Teriyaki Pork Chops

Ingredients:

o   4 pock chops, about 1” thick

o   2 garlic cloves, minced

o   2 tbsp brown sugar

o   ¼ cup soy sauce

o   1/3 cup chicken broth

o   Salt & pepper to taste

Sprinkle salt & pepper on pork chops and place in the bottom of your crockpot.  In a small bowl mix garlic, brown sugar, soy sauce and chicken broth together and pour over pork chops.  Cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 6-7 hours.   If your chops are not 1” thick, just reduce cooking time.

You can also freeze this (easy ‘gift meal’ to take to a friend/family member who is ill or maybe just had a baby). Instead of putting everything into the crockpot, just put it all into a gallon-sized bag and freeze flat.  Let thaw overnight in the fridge before dumping it all in the crockpot to cook. Just remember to write the cooking time on the bag!

No pictures - sorry.  Next time.
