Ranch Chicken Recipe

 Here is another recipe that my family really enjoys. I got this recipe a few years ago off the package of ranch dressing mix. What you will need is chicken any amount that will feed your family and 1-2 packages of ranch dressing mix. The amount of packages depends on how much chicken you are cooking. For the 10-12 drumsticks showing in the photo I used 2 packages.
 You will put the seasoning into a plastic bag and add the chicken a few pieces at a time and shake it. As you can see I put my chicken onto a sprayed cookie sheet with tin foil. This will make for an easy clean up.
You will cook this in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 2 hours. As you can see there is a small mess. So much easier to clean up with the foil.
I have tried this recipe with boneless skinless chicken and it doesn't turn out very well so I don't recommend it.
You can serve this with any side dish because it goes with every thing.
I hope you give this recipe a try and let me know what you think.
Until next time enjoy your day.

Braised Pork Chops and Sauce Recipe

 I have had this recipe for a long time and I can't remember where I got it from. It probably came from a cookbook that I borrowed from the library back in California. This recipe was written out a little different so I will copy it the way I have it written out.
Brown well on both sides enough pork chops or pork steaks for your family. Cover with the following sauce and let simmer until meat is done-about 30 or 40 minutes, depending upon how thick the meat is. For the sauce this is what you will need. 1 bouillon cube; 1/3 cup hot water; 1 teaspoon ginger; 2 teaspoon salt (I didn't add this since the bouillon cube is salty); 1 tablespoon brown sugar; 1/4 cup honey; and 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Dissolve the bouillon cube in the hot water. Add the remaining ingredients and pour over the browned pork. If you prefer, you could let the meat marinate overnight in the sauce, then bake the chops in the oven, basting with the sauce as needed to prevent the meat from drying out.
 As you can see I didn't marinate my meat. I used my electric skillet since the pan was big enough for four pork chops. The package of pork chops was a mix between chops and steaks.
I added mashed potatoes and peas to make a complete meal. This is actually a fast dish to make and very good. I hope you give this recipe a try and let me know what you think down below.
As always until next time enjoy your day.
