Blondies

I made dessert today. Blondies. White chocolates brownies. With cranberries.

Yum.

To be honest, they didn't visually turn out how I'd hoped, but they are quite good. I'm sure I'll make further attempts because they taste sooooo yummy. And really, they don't look bad, just not perfect. Practice, I suppose!


There we have it, two recipes down, one hundred and twenty-four to go. Getting fat has never been so fun.

Pork Chops With Peppers

I made the first step in my cooking journey tonight.

I picked something easy and fast because, well, it's a week day.

Let me say, it turned out incredibly well. It tasted delicious and even looked right! Yay.




The sweet and sour peppers and onions really complimented the pork, and of course you can't go wrong with basil and thyme...or butter!

I didn't bother buying red wine vinegar but instead used a combination of red wine and apple cider vinegar, to taste. I did swap the suggested red onion for white, simply because I prefer the milder taste of white onion.

I served my pork with roasted golden new potatoes and sautéed broccolini.

Congratulations, me!
