There's Something About (Rose)mary!

One of my favorite herbs is rosemary. I love the aroma, the taste, the look. Everything! I was very fortunate the other day to find a rosemary plant for a whopping $2.50. This is not only half what the sales lady guessed it would be, but it was like 10 times less what I expected it to be. Here's what else is awesome: even if I end up killing the plant, I'll still end up with enough dried rosemary to cook for a long time! It was TOTALLY worth the money.

Since I bought the plant, I've been dying to make a baked pork chop with rosemary. It was super easy and beyond delicious. It was magnificent.

1 pork chop
1 sprig of fresh rosemary
House seasoning

1. Preheat oven to 350. Place your chop in a baking dish and season lightly on both sides with the House Seasoning I mentioned a few posts back.
2. Place the sprig of rosemary right on the middle of the pork chop and cook for about 30 minutes or until the pork chop is slightly brown on the outside and white throughout the inside.

SO simple and so tasty! I served mine with the garlic herb mashed potatoes I made a few posts back, some simple sauteed mushrooms and a wedged Roma tomato, just for fun.




Rosemary is good with pork chops, delightful with turkey and fabulous with a baked citrus chicken. Its my favorite!


Happy Cooking!
