Ginger Pork Chops

My daughter loves to get into the kitchen and experiment. Especially if I get her a new ingredient. One shopping trip I was able to get fresh ginger at a really good price and this was her first attempt to incorporate ginger into her cooking. It was awesome!

1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp garlic
2 tbs fresh grated ginger
½ C vinegar
½ C oil
4 large pork chops

Marinade pork chops in vinegar, oil, salt, pepper, garlic, and ginger for 2 hours. Sear pork chops on top of stove then place in oven until pork chops are done.

Chicken Asparagus Rolls

This recipe can be made for as few as 2 or as many as you need. Its easy and tastes great. My daughter came up with this a few years ago as a way to keep chicken breasts from being so dry.

Chicken Breasts
4 Asparagus spears per breast
salt
pepper
butter

If using fresh asparagus boil or steam spears until almost done, if using canned skip to next step. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Split breast in half the pound chicken until 1/4 inch thick. Put 2 asparagus spears on 1/3 of chicken then roll up. Put toothpick in to hold it closed. Butter baking pan and place chicken rolls in pan. Bake at 350 degrees until chicken is done. Top with swiss bechamel sauce.
