Hi Lorie, I made the pork chops last night for dinner it was just wonderful! I’m looking forward to trying more of your recipes very soon. Sometimes a person needs inspiration from someone like you. Thanks so much Joan
Joan, thank you so so so much for the message! I am so happy you liked the pork chops and I am even happier you are a part of this little community! Thanks again!
I’m loving Lorie’s recipes because they truly are easy! So many chefs or bloggers say something is “easy,” but then proceed to add 12 steps!!! I’m not a natural in the kitchen, so I really like that your recipes do not intimidate me and substitutions are easy!
Thank you so so much, Elisa! I love creating simple but delicious recipes so this means so much to me!
