I haven’t posted a recipe in a while, but I just couldn’t resist sharing what’s now cooking in my Crock Pot. I got this recipe in an insert from a box of Reynolds Slow Cooker Liners. On a hunch I checked their website and found the recipe online, so I don’t even have to type it!

Let me tell you, this is some delicious stuff. We are having pork chops tonight, so I thought it would be good over them. I also think I’m going to run get some ice cream. It is amazing served hot over ice cream!

Now on to my second topic:

My Kitchen of the Future

Remember on the Jetsons how intelligently designed their home was? I know it was a cartoon, but it painted a picture of a future filled with technological advances that would assist in home management. This is my dream kitchen: I want all of my food items, including seasonings and spices, to be inventoried, and a “kitchen computer” of some sort which can generate all possible recipes from the ingredients on hand. At times I’m uninspired and can’t think of what to cook, and at others I’ll realize that the ingredients to a great dish, like the one posted above, are sitting in my kitchen just waiting for me pull them together into some dreamy concoction. What will your dream kitchen contain?
