Jack is Cooking Pork Chops

Well Hello Internet!
So last night i somehow had the motivation to get up and make some dinner.  nothing fancy, but boy was it good!  i made breaded pork chops
heres what i used
2 pork chops ( from Herondale Farm of course!)
bread crumbs
paprika
parsley
one egg
also
some french cut beans
cheddar cheese
milk
a little bit of flour
garlic
So First i took the bread crumbs and mixed them with a little paprika and some parsley.
then i took the pork chops and dipped them in the egg, and then in the bread crumbs, and then because i like them extra breaded, i put them back in the egg, and then back in the bread crumbs.  that’s easy right?
heres what they looked like
Then i took the chops, and i heated some olive oil in a pan.  i cooked them for like 1-2 minutes on each side.  then i put them in the oven at 350 for another 20 minutes.
In the meantime, i put a little butter in that pan (some of the oil had been soaked up by the chops)
i sauteed some garlic.  then i added the french cut beans.  i let those cook for a couple minutes over low/medium heat.  once they were cooked i put a little bit of flour in the pan to start a roux.  i added maybe half a cup of milk, and some grated cheddar cheese.
This made a nice side dish to the pork chops and added a little bit of green.
heres both together!  sorry for a lack of pictures this time.
mmm  mmm delicious

Jack is Cooking Corn Bread




so this is the first time i have ever made corn bread. this recipe is a mixture of a bunch of recipes i was looking at, basically so i could use the ingredients i had. i am going to be experimenting in the future with different recipes until i find the perfect cornbread. i encourage anybody to join me in my quest to find the perfect cornbread, so if you have any tips they would be greatly apreciated, or you can take my recipe and try to improve upon it.

what i used:

2 cups corn meal
3 tspns baking powder
2 eggs
1 cup milk (if you have buttermilk that is way better)
1 tspn salt
1 can sweet corn (or creamed corn)
1-2 cups cheese
2 tbspns bacon drippings, or vegetable oil

Jack is Cooking Shepherds Pie




today i am cooking shepherds pie. this is an old english dish which is very easy and very cheap to make. you can also make it with leftovers, so like if you have a bolognaise sauce left over you can use that.

the way i made it from scratch, it cost me less than 10 dollars to make

(even using all organic ingredients)

, and can feed like 3 people (more if they are children)

a note: shepherds pie actually contains ground lamb. thus the name shepherds pie. but since lamb these days is expensive it can be made with beef. which is technically cottage pie, but whatever i call it shepherds pie.

ingredients:
1 lb ground beef (or lamb)
3-4 potatoes
milk
butter
salt and pepper
some carrots,
some sliced onion
chedder cheese

also, if you are interested in purchasing any organic meat, and you live in the US, go to

http://www.herondalefarm.com

and you can buy any of the meat that you see me cooking with. it is all USDA organic freerange happy animals, and it tastes damn good
