I'm calling BS on that photo, I dont believe they can look like this without being fried but please prove me wrong

Agreed, those are fried!
When you actually soak in Vinegar they indeed look fried. They spend 30 mins in a marinate.

Not everyone goes to that trouble. Not fired. Also sprayed with olive oil is the cooking sheet and the tops of the chips.

Still skeptical but hopeful since I want it to be true

is the picture you posted of chips you actually made or from wherever you got the recipe

the recipe posted didn’t say anything about spraying with olive oil which also contributed to my skepticism

Mushroom-Gray-Pork-Chops-Horizontal-1.jpg

  • 4 boneless pork chops
  • 1 pound crimini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken stock
  • 3/4 cup beef stock
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, optional
  • fresh thyme, garnish, optional
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

  1. Season pork chops with garlic powder, then generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear both sides of pork chops until nicely browned. Remove pork chops to a plate and cover to keep warm.
  3. Drizzle another 1/2 tablespoon olive oil into skillet, then add mushrooms and onion and sauté for 6-7 minutes, or until softened and lightly browned. Season with salt, pepper and dried thyme, if using
  4. Sprinkle flour over onion and mushrooms and stir until everything is evenly coated. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until flour has a chance to cook and be absorbed.
  5. Stir in chicken and beef broths, stirring to scrape up burned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  6. Bring mixture to a boil, then lower heat and let simmer for 15 minutes, or until gravy has reduced and thickened.
  7. Return pork chops to skillet and cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until cooked through and tender.
  8. Remove from heat, spooning gravy over pork chops and garnishing with fresh thyme, if desired.

LET’S GET GRILLING


1Combine the ground beef, garlic powder, butter, salt, smoked paprika, and Worcestershire sauce in a large mixing bowl. Divide the ground beef into 16 meatballs, which will form one small patty each. From each meatball, flatten each to form 8 patties, making an indentation in the middle to place the cheese. Continue with the next 8 meatballs to make a flat patty, which will go on top of the first 8 patties. Take each slice of American cheese and fold it in half two times, creating a stack of small cheese squares. Place this stacked piece of cheese in the middle of the burger. Repeat for all 8 burgers. Take the remaining 8 patties and place them on top of the patties with cheese and seal them around the edges, combining the two patties on the outside to make one burger.
2Combine the sauce ingredients and place in the refrigerator until ready to put on the burgers.
3Prepare a grill for medium direct heat — about 350°F. If using a griddle or a cast iron skillet, place the skillet on the grill. Place the patties on the skillet or grill and let them cook until they have started to brown on one side. Flip the patties over and then add another slice of cheese. The USDA recommends ground beef and burgers to be cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 160°F, which means you can pull the burgers off at 155°F since they will continue to cook when you pull them off the grill.
4Remove from heat and tent under foil to stay warm. Serve on a toasted bun with lettuce, tomato, pickles and secret sauce. Serve immediately to experience the beauty of the melting cheese inside the patty, making for an epic cheesy bite with cheese oozing out of your burger.


This one rocks!!:yourock:

    Author Sarah
    Ingredients
    • 36 Golden Oreo Cookies
    • 6 Tbsp. butter melted {I use salted}
    • 1 {8 oz} pkg. Philadelphia Cream Cheese softened
    • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 2 Tbsp. cold milk
    • 12 oz. Cool Whip divided
    • 2 {3.4 oz.} pkgs Coconut Cream instant pudding
    • 3 & 1/4 cups whole milk
    • 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes toasted {Here is how I toast mine}
    Instructions
    1. In a food processor, pulse the Oreo cookies until they are fine crumbs. Combine the crumbs and the butter until crumbs are fully coated.
    2. Press the mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place the dish in the refrigerator while you work on the other layers.
    3. In a medium bowl {I use my stand mixer} whip the cream cheese and sugar on medium-low speed. Add the milk and mix until fully incorporated.
    4. With a spatula, fold in 1 & 1/4 cups cool whip until completely uniform. Spread this mixture evenly over your crust.
    5. In another medium bowl, combine the 3 & 1/4 cups milk with both of the pudding packages. Whisk constantly until the pudding thickens and creates soft peaks. Spread this layer evenly over the previous layer.
    6. Let the dessert rest for about 5 minutes, to let the pudding fully thicken up. Spread the remaining Cool Whip over the top.
    7. Spread the toasted coconut evenly over the top. Make sure that it is completely cooled before adding it.
    8. Let dessert sit in the freezer for 1 hour or in the refrigerator for 4 hours before serving.

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Cut the tops off the peppers. Remove and discard the stems, then finely chop the tops; set aside. Scoop out the seeds and as much of the membrane as you can. Place the peppers cut-side up in a baking dish just large enough to hold them upright.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef, season with salt and pepper and cook, breaking up the lumps, until the meat is cooked through and just beginning to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to get rid of the fat.
  4. Wipe out the skillet and add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the onions and chopped peppers and cook until beginning to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and zucchini and cook for another minute. Add the tomatoes and season with salt and a pinch or 2 of red pepper flakes. Cook until everything is heated through, then stir in the beef and rice. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Stir in 1 cup of the cheese.
  5. Fill the peppers with the rice mixture and top each with a sprinkle of the remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Pour a small amount of water into the bottom of the baking dish and drizzle the peppers with a little olive oil. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until the peppers are soft and the cheese is melted and lightly browned, another 15 to 20 minutes.
6 bell peppers, any color

4 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling

8 ounces lean ground beef

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 onion, finely diced

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1 medium zucchini, finely diced

4 Roma tomatoes, seeded and finely diced

Red pepper flakes, as needed

1 cup cooked long-grain and wild rice

1 1/2 cups grated pepper Jack cheese
