"So Easy"...Part 2...

We took another page out of our Ellie Krieger "So Easy" book again last night...because as soon as we saw these Pork Piccata recipe:  We knew those had to happen ASAP! :)

And they were SUPER easy!  All you had to do was dredge the pork in flour & salt and cook over medium heat for a few minutes, until browned.  Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the pan and add 3 minced cloves of garlic to the same skillet.  Immediately add 1 cup of white white and cook over medium-high heat until reduced by half (4-5 minutes),  whisking to remove the small bits (aka-THE FLAVA!) from the bottom of the pan.  Once the wine is reduced, add 1 cup of chicken broth, 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, 3 tablespoons of capers & salt and peeper.  Cook until slightly reduced and then add the pork back into the skillet to finish off cooking, about 3 minutes.
Couldn't have been simpler and the sauce with the garlic & capers is just enough to give it a fantastic taste!

For our sides I made some quick grits...butttt kept my FALL themes going by adding a few tablespoons of pureed pumpkin toward the end of cooking.  YUM:)
Anddd...we rounded out our dinner with some steamed broccoli WHICH I do love, butttt isn't exactly the most exciting thing to talk about:)

So instead, I'll talk about dessert, shall I??  WAYYY more exciting:) 
Have you guys ever tried the Weight Watchers Caramel Apple Salad???  If not, you MUST try this...even if your not a WW fan!  It is awesome and quintessential Halloween/FALL eats:)
In my mix:
  • 1 container fat free cool whip
  • 1 small box butterscotch pudding mix
  • 1 small can crushed pineapple, drained
  • 2 diced apples
  • Coconut (LOTS:)
  • A few handfuls of mini marshmallows
  1. Mix
  2. Chill
  3. Try not to eat the whole bowl.
SOOOOO GOOD!!!!  I guarantee you'll love this too! :)

OK...well, we're having a few computer problems AGAINNNNNNN (looks like it's time to break down and get a new one:), so I might have to have a few archive posts the next few days.  Fingers crossed I can get my photos uploaded!
Have a good middle-of-the-week:)
