Crockpot Pork Chops and Cheesy Scalloped Potatos

Ingredients:

• Pork Chops I recommend boneless chops, I used four
• Red potatoes
• An onion
• Shredded cheddar cheese
• Butter

Directions:

Turn your crockpot on high and add a spoonful of butter. While the butter melts, slice your onion so you end up with bunches of little circles. Next, Slice and wash your potatoes. You're going to want to leave them pretty thin. Now, it's time to season your pork chops. I used Moroccan Seasoning from McCormick, but you can use whatever you like. Generously sprinkle seasoning on BOTH sides of meat. Lay the pork chops in the bottom of the crockpot. They'll probably overlap a bit, that's okay. Cover the meat with a layer of onions, then a layer of potatoes. Salt and pepper the layer of potatoes. Next, generously cover the potatoes with a layer of cheese. Repeat the process of layering onions, potatoes, salt & pepper and cheese until you're crockpot is full. Or you're out of ingredients.. :) Cook on high for around 4 -6 hours, or on low for roughly 8 hours. Your potatoes will be soft and your meat with pull apart easily. Sprinkle some extra cheese on each helping and serve.

I Love Soup!!!

This poor neglected blog. I'm sure nobody reads it anymore, but tonight I made some really yummy chicken noodle soup and I wanted to tell somebody about it so I thought this was as good a place as any to share my yummy recipe for anyone who cares to see.

Sunday's are a relaxing day for cooking because Wayne can take the kids and play and I can cook at my leisure and experiment. Sometimes that's not such a good thing but tonight it was! So here's my recipe.

Chicken Noodle Soup

1 big carrot, peeled and sliced (I would have done another if I had another)

2-3 celery sticks, sliced

1 small onion, diced

2-3 teaspoons (or cubes) chicken boulion

1/2 can chicken chunks

pepper (aobut 1/2-1 tsp)

garlic salt (however much you dare add, I just kept sprinkling it in, and I think this is what made it so good. Oh, and I use the one that has parsley flakes mixed in with it.)

1 small pinch of rosemary

1 small pinch of thyme

(those last two spices are optional, just make sure you only use a small pinch or they will overpower the soup! (I've learned that the hard way, but not tonight))

1 recipe homemade egg noodles

So basically you just boil the veggies in a pot until they are getting tender, but still a little crisp (about 5-10 minutes) then you add the noodles and continue to boil about ten minutes as you have fun throwing in spices feeling like a real chef and hoping it actually turns out tasty...Oh, and don't forget to add the chicken towards the end so it can heat up.

This was my first time making homemade egg noodles and I will never go back to store bought! The homemade were easy to make and tasted much better too. Audrey loved the noodles and Briella loved the chicken and vegetables. I served it with baking powder biscuits and apples for a side dish and that's what Rylen ate. This meals a keeper.
