<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; line-height: 18px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"> ~ 2 sticks Fleishmann's unsalted margarine, softened</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; line-height: 18px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"> ~ 1 cup sugar</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; line-height: 18px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"> ~ 1 egg</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; line-height: 18px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"> ~ 2 tablespoons lemon juice</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; line-height: 18px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"> ~ 2 teaspoons lemon zest (can be omitted)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; line-height: 18px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"> ~ 1/8 teaspoon salt</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; line-height: 18px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"> ~ 3 cups flour</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; line-height: 18px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"> ~ 1/2 teaspoon baking powder</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; line-height: 18px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"> ~ red food coloring</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; line-height: 18px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"> ~ yellow food coloring</span><br />

<div style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
Directions:<br />
<b>1.</b> Pre-heat oven to 375<span style="line-height: 12px;">°.</span><br />
<br />
<b>2.</b> In a mixing bowl, combine sugar and butter at medium speed until creamy. Add egg, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt, and beat until well mixed. Add flour and baking soda, and beat until well mixed.<br />
<br />
<b>3.</b> Divide the dough into thirds in three separate bowls.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<br />
<b style="color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; line-height: 18px;">4.</b><span style="color: #535353; font-family: Crafty Girls;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"> Leave one bowl white, add food coloring to another to make it orange, and add food coloring to the third to make it yellow. Mix well so the color is distributed evenly.</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; line-height: 18px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"></span><br />
<b style="color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; line-height: 18px;">5.</b><span style="color: #535353; font-family: Crafty Girls;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"> Line a loaf pan with wax/freezer/parchment paper. Press the white dough into the bottom of the loaf pan. Push down until it is completely flat and covers the whole pan evenly. Repeat with the orange and then yellow dough.</span></span><br />
<br />
<b style="color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; line-height: 18px;">6.</b><span style="color: #535353; font-family: Crafty Girls;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"> Cover and refrigerate for about 2 hours or until firm (overnight is best). I put mine in the freezer for about an hour because I was pressed for time.</span></span><br />
<br />
<b style="color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; line-height: 18px;">7.</b><span style="color: #535353; font-family: Crafty Girls;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"> Once chilled, lift the dough out of the pan and unwrap it from the wax paper. Place it on a cutting board and using a floured knife, cut into 1/4" thick slices. Cut each slice into triangles to form a candy corn shape.</span></span><br />
<br />
<b style="color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; line-height: 18px;">8.</b><span style="color: #535353; font-family: Crafty Girls;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"> Place 1" apart on a cookie sheet and bake for 7-10 minutes (my oven which usually cooks in less time took the full 10 minutes for these cookies). Let cool on the sheet for about 4 minutes and then transfer to a baking rack.</span></span><br />

((Start checking the oven at 15 minutes... because the oven temperature is up so high I had the brown sugar and garlic mixture burning all over the bottom of the pan))</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #741b47; font-family: 'Crafty Girls';"><span style="line-height: 18px;">These potatoes are always on sale at our grocery store.

** I used fresh strawberries, sliced in a bowl with sugar. I lost count how many strawberries I used, but the amount doesn't really matter. Use as many as you'd like!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6792531902426302367.post-88022020990982174522012-05-12T11:02:00.000-07:002012-05-12T11:02:00.632-07:00Pan-Fried Pork Chops<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">We love pork chops. But every single time I make them, I make them the same way.

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Crafty Girls';"><span style="line-height: 18px;">My mom usually makes a batch of homemade applesauce every fall. It takes almost all day to cook, but was always so worth it. Today I had some pork chops I needed to use, but I hate to have pork chops without applesauce. And I had no car for the day. And only an hour until dinner. I found this recipe online and thought it was a pretty good <b><u>quick</u></b> substitute for my mom's recipe!</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-size: xx-small;"><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; line-height: 18px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Ingredients:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> ~ 5 peeled, cored, and quartered apples (The website said to use good cooking apples... I just used what I happened to have in my fridge.. 2 Golden Delicious and 3 Gala) *If possible, use different varieties of apples. My mom swears that it makes it taste better than when it is made with only one type of apple*</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> ~ 3-4 tablespoons lemon juice</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> ~ sprinkling of cinnamon (depending on how much you like. I like a lot)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> ~ 1/4 cup brown sugar</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> ~ up to 1/4 cup white sugar (I used a full 1/4 cup. This depends on how sweet you like your applesauce)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> ~ 3/4 cup water</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> ~ 1/2 teaspoon salt</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Directions:</span><br />
<b style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">1.</b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> Put all ingredients in a large sauce pan. Cover and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes (I used a full cup of water and it was too much. After 20-30 minutes my apples were still hard. I then turned it back up to boiling for another 10 minutes or so).</span><br />
<br />
<b style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">2.</b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Remove from heat. Mash with a potato masher (if you like chunky applesauce. For smoother applesauce, try putting in a food processor).</span><br />
<br />
<b style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">3.</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Serve either hot or refrigerated (I've eaten it both ways.. warm for dinner, cold for breakfast). According to the original recipe, it also freezes well, for up to a year~</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; line-height: 18px;"><span style="color: #741b47;">A couple months ago there was a sale on pork roast. This is something we like, but don't buy often.. mainly because I don't have many recipes that aren't boring and plain pork roast. When I saw this on Pinterest (yes, again!), I decided to give it a shot. It was delicious... but definitely looked NOTHING like the picture on the original website (doesn't her picture above look amazing?)! The pictures actually came out kinda gross looking.. even though it tasted good! I think I didn't make enough glaze to pour over when I served it.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; line-height: 18px;"> ~ 1/4 teaspoon pepper</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; line-height: 18px;"> ~ 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder</span><br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; line-height: 18px;">Directions:</span><br />

Rub over roast and place in Crockpot with 1/2 cup of water in the bottom. Cook on low for 6 hours.</span><br />
<br />
<b style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; line-height: 18px;">2.</b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; line-height: 18px;"> About 75 minutes before the roast is done, combine the last 5 ingredients in a small saucepan on medium heat; stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Brush glaze over roast 2 or 3 times in the last hour of cooking.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; line-height: 18px;"><b><br style="background-color: white;" /></b></span><br />

Pour this over the sliced roast when you serve it.</span><br />

I don't think I'll ever make "normal" cupcakes ever again! This was another dessert picture that caught my eye on Pinterest. I decided to make them for Valentine's Day with strawberry cake mix and white buttercream frosting (and, of course, heart sprinkles). They were a huge hit! I'm making them again for a party tomorrow with lemon cake mix and chocolate frosting, combining my favorite cupcake combination with brownies. My mouth is already drooling..</span></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Makes: About 42 cupcakes</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Ingredients:</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> ~ 1 box of cake mix (any flavor) (Duncan Hines is dairy-free)</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> ~ 1 box of brownie mix (again, Duncan Hines is dairy-free)</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> ~ Ingredients necessary to prepare cake and brownie mixes</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Directions:</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">1.</b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> Pre-heat oven to 350</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 12px;">°.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">2.</b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">In one bowl, prepare cake mix according to box. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #535353; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">In another bowl, prepare brownie mix according to box.</span><br />
