Pork Chops And Gravy (also Gluten Free)

Delicious pork chops and gravy
During another experimental cooking adventure, my official taste tester was impressed with my gluten free pork chops and gravy. We have family members that require a gluten free diet so I like to experiment with combinations of ingredients so we can all eat the same meal. Thanksgiving no longer requires 2 gravies, we all eat gluten free gravy. I think it is healthier and we all like it better than the traditional gravy. So if you are looking for delicious pork chop recipe and would also enjoy the benefit of gluten free flour, try this! It's so very yummy!
Ingredients for Seasoning:
1 cup white rice flour (I used Bob's Red Mill) but feel free to use all purpose white flour if you don't want gluten-free
1 T dried thyme
2 T onion powder
1 tsp rosemary
2 T garlic powder
1 T dried oregano
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper(optional)
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp coarse ground pepper (or to taste)
Mix all of the above ingredients and pour them into a large baggie. Meanwhile, heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large pan over medium heat on the stove.
Rinse 3-4 thick boneless pork chops and place the pork chops in the seasoning baggie and shake to coat the pork chops. Remove one at a time and add to the hot oil in the pan. Fry in the oil until they are light brown - about 5 minutes on each side. Take out the pork chops and place them on a plate and cover with a dish towel or paper towels to keep them warm. 
Next you will need:
1 cup chicken stock or chicken broth will work too (I use Rachel Ray's)
1/2 cup buttermilk (if you don't have buttermilk, use 1 cup white milk with 1 tsp of lemon juice stirred in)
Take a few spoonfuls of the seasoned flour mix and whisk into the pan with the remains of your pork chop frying. Add about half of the chicken broth and keep whisking until mixed, then add the rest of the chicken broth. It should start to thicken - keep whisking. If you think you need more gravy, in a small bowl mix about 1 T white rice flour to another 1/2-3/4 cup of chicken broth and add to pan. I had absolutely 0 lumps but if there is an unfortunate incident with lumps in your pan, just pour your gravy in a strainer and bowl, then add the gravy back to the pan and dump those lumps! Add your milk to the gravy and stir. Add your pork chops back to the pan and let simmer for about 20 minutes (or until your pork is done). Once again, my husband was late for supper so mine simmered for about an hour. They were so tender and yummy!

Grandma's Bread Pudding and Caramel Sauce

I was trying to think of something for dessert last night and homemade bread pudding was my choice. Our Dad was not a dessert lover but bread pudding was one of his favorites. Our grandma made the best bread pudding, hope you like it! Ingredients : 5 cups slightly dried out bread, any kind. I used Italian bread.  1/4 cup raisins (optional) 2 cups milk 1/4 cup butter 1/2 cup white sugar 2 eggs 1 T vanilla 1/4 tsp nutmeg 1/2 tsp cinnamon Caramel Sauce Ingredients 1/2 cup butter 1/2 cup white sugar 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup heavy cream 1 tsp vanilla Directions : Cut the bread in cubes. I cut some of the crust off (on about half of the bread). Place bread into a greased casserole dish or an 11x9 inch pan. Add raisins.  Microwave milk and butter about 4 minutes on 60% power or heat in a saucepan over medium heat on the stove. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon.

Homemade Goulash

Last weekend I made meals for the freezer. It takes a few hours but this will save you time during the week (in case you have nights like I do when you don't feel like cooking) and your family will love it! I adapted this recipe from Paula Deen (it's called Bobby's Goulash). I used organic ingredients but use the products of your choice. I would have liked to use fresh tomatoes from the garden but my tomatoes weren't quite ready. You can also make it gluten-free by using gluten-free elbow macaroni. It's so tasty - my family loved it! Ingredients : 1 pound ground turkey 1 pound lean ground beef 1 -2 small onions, diced ( I used red onions) 1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce 2 (15 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with juice 3 cups water 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 T Italian seasoning 3 bay leaves 3 T soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce 1 T seasoning salt course ground pepper to taste 2 cups elbow macaroni (uncooked) Putting it together: Brown meat and onions in a lar

Dad's Homemade Peach Cobbler

Peach Cobbler fresh from the oven! One of our favorite desserts is Dad's peach cobbler. This is a recipe that I use when I need a quick dessert. I always have the ingredients and it only takes a few minutes to mix it up. I modified it for gluten-free by making a change to the flour type, just in case you're looking for gluten-free. You can use fresh or frozen peaches, or even canned peaches work. I usually freeze enough Colorado peaches to take me through the seasons so I use those. This recipe makes about 6 servings. Ingredients : 1/3 c butter, melted 1-2 cups peaches, peeled and sliced 1 c sugar (white or organic cane) 1 c all-purpose flour ( or white rice flour for gluten-free ) 1 tsp cinnamon (this is optional, my family loves cinnamon!) 2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp sea salt 1 c milk (I use organic 2%) Directions : Melt butter and pour it into a baking pan, a 9x9 square glass pan works great.  In a medium mixing bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and sa
