Often I like it just as well although there are times when fresh is the only way to go. Also, did you know you can peel banana's and freeze them? Use the frozen banana's for smoothies, (along with what other frozen fruit you have) or use the frozen banana's for baking. Never throw away old banana's again.:)Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424577855850278148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838625907377357191.post-89933258206574396722009-02-09T20:31:00.000-05:002009-02-09T20:31:00.000-05:00Hey Steph!That recipe you posted with the pickles ...Hey Steph!<BR/><BR/>That recipe you posted with the pickles sounds wild. I would never think to try such a recipe but now am eager to do so. Thanks.<BR/><BR/>Here is a recipe I saw in the paper yesterday that looks so good. Can't wait to try it. It's also a crock pot recipe<BR/><BR/>Apricot-Glazed Pork Chops<BR/><BR/>1/3 cup reduced sodium soy sauce<BR/>1/2 cup apricot whole-fruit preserves<BR/>2 cloves garlic, finely minced<BR/>3 tablespoons ketchup<BR/>4 (1 in. or thicker) pork-loin chops, preferably bone-in<BR/><BR/>Spray crock pot with nonstick oil. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, apricot preserves, garlic and ketchup. Stir to blend well. <BR/><BR/>Brush chops with the sauce, (front and back) and place them at the bottom of crock pot. Pour remaining sauce over chops and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. <BR/><BR/>Note: It is important the chops be at least 1 inch thick. <BR/><BR/>Sounds yummy.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424577855850278148noreply@blogger.com
