Enjoy!

• This Pork Chops Pizzaiola recipe is for pork chops served with pizza-style flavors. It’s a really delicious pork chop recipe!
• My family likes to eat this easy-to-make Slow Cooker Pork Barbecue over cooked orzo pasta or polenta, or you can certainly make some delicious sandwiches out of it too!
• This classic Spaghetti and Meatballs recipe has instructions for making homemade meatballs mixed with marinara sauce and hot cooked spaghetti.

What I’m watching and reading:

• I’m watching season 9 of Alone. It’s set in Labrador (Eastern Canada). A bunch of contestants are dropped in the wilderness, and they have to figure out how to survive for 100 days as a contest to win $500,000. I’ve watched several seasons of this, and I enjoy it!

• A melt-in-your-mouth butter shortbread filled with an ooey gooey caramel layer is what salted caramel butter bars are all about.

Here’s what’s going on in my life:

• I’m currently on vacation in the middle of France! You can assume that I’m eating croissants, drinking wine and seeing all the sights! I’ll be sharing more about that later.
