Brown sugar bourbon pork chops with Apple Pan sauce scallion mashed potatoes and roasted brussel sprouts

1 serving prepared 

Here's what you get:


Yukon Gold potato - 1/2 cup
Brussel sprouts
Apple
Scallion
Pork chop - 6 oz
McCormick Grill mates brown sugar bourbon seasoning
Chicken stock concentrate
Sour cream 

The not Brussel sprous:

These were roasted in the oven for 25 minuets at 425 after drizzling with oil, salt and pepper. Aaand they burned in 15 mins I should have adjusted cook time because these were really tiny.

I replaced them with sugar snap peas. These were cooked in the same pan after the pork chop and sauce was done. Total cook time for the peas was around 6 minutes.

The protein:

This is a two part process cooking 12 minuets total and removing from the pan before adding again once the sauce is finished. 

The potatoes:

I cooked a half cup of diced potatoes because it's a smaller amount this takes less time to complete.

The sauce:

1/2 tbsp of butter and 1/4 cup veggie broth was used because im preparing one serving.  After the 6 min mark the stock concentrate and veggies stock were added. Just under 1/4 tsp of honey was used here instead of the recommended amount of sugar.  In the last 2 mins of cook time the pork was added to the pan again. The chop went in the pan and then it was plated so I could make the sugar snap peas.

The plate:


So my chop looks like Texas to me for some reason. This meal was pretty good,  I should have chopped the apples smaller so they would cook faster. Otherwise this was a great comfort food style meal

Reviewing: Chicken sausage sweet potato and kale soup. 1 serving prepared  Here's what you get: Forgot the cheese! Sweet potato  Kale  Italian chicken sausage mix  Chili flake  Yellow onion  Italian seasoning  Chicken stock concentrate  Parmesan cheese  Not used: Demi baguette  The soup: Per instructions I started by cooking the onion and sausage together until the onions are browned and the sausage was cooked through.  Next the sweet potatoes, stock concentrate and spice packet was added along with 1 in 1/4 cup of vegetable broth. After the soup was done simmering for 7 minutes per instruction I put the kale in and let it cook for an additional seven minutes. Side: Since I can't have the baguette I made some GF cheese crackers to go along with the soup today. The process for that will be posted at a later date. The plate: And flat bread - Kris
