Skillet Pork Chops and Gravy with Fried Potatoes

Finally some pork chops that James liked enough to want again.  It is probably because you cook it with apple juice.

I didn't make the fried potatoes because anytime I make potatoes like that, even though I love them, James and Ethan don't care for them.  So I made it with mashed potatoes.  Even Tybee ate all of her dinner and she hasn't been liking mashed potatoes lately.  I think it was the yummy gravy.

Chocolate Peanutbutter Cup Cookies

I took these cookies to a potluck yesterday, but I didn't get a chance to try a whole cookie.  I split one into fourths before we left so we could all try a bit.  I liked what I had, but James thought they were a bit salty.  I think that's because I used crunchy peanutbutter instead of creamy.  I will have to try that next time.  There weren't any left at the party, so they must have been alright :)

Buttermilk Blueberry Breakfast Cake

So delicious!

Buttermilk Banana Bread

This is, by far, my favorite banana bread.  I even like it better than the lion house recipe.

Crumb-Topped Apple Pie

This pie is delicious and easy!  It was perfect for me because I still have not mastered a pie crust and this recipe uses the crumb topping for the crust...genious!

Low Calorie Triple Chocolate Chunk Muffins

Unfortunately (or not unfortunately) I was the only one in the family who enjoyed these muffins.  The recipe made 18 muffins and I ate all of them except for the one James had and the half of one that Ethan had (I ate his other half).  Not even Tybee liked them.  I, of course, had no problem finishing off the rest.

The only thing about these muffins is that the batter is really thin, so the chocolate chips settle on the bottom.  I'm thinking next time I will put 2 cups of oatmeal instead of 1 3/4 and maybe use a total of 1 cup of yogurt instead of 1/2 cup of applesauce.

They are a great less guilty treat when I need one, but I have to be prepared to eat the entire batch.

Ritzy Chicken

I totally forgot to make the sauce on this one, but it was still a big hit.  James wants it every week and even Tybee loved it.

Strawberry Shortcake Muffins

These muffins have no flour and no oil and are delicious.  Ethan even said they were the best muffins I have made.  I had a hard time stopping at just 3 :)

Vanilla Cake with Strawberry Cream Frosting

This cake was super delicious!

The only things I would do differently are:  2 Tbsp of jam on each layer and make the cakes the night before so they are cool enough.
