I'll be joining Kristin Porter, Iowa Girl Eats (pictured above) and Nicole Patterson, Farm Girl Facts of Life at the event from 11am to 1pm. If you are in the Des Moines area you should stop by for lunch, eat some pork and register for prizes!
If you can't come to Johnston tomorrow, or even if you can, I highly recommend you make some pork chops for your family tonight! Spring is the air, which means that our grill and smoker are fired up on a regular basis. Enjoy the weather and prepare your pork chops outside, or cook them the traditional ways of oven baked or pan fried. Anyway you do it, be sure to enjoy this nutritious, lean protein with great company (and maybe a side of baked beans!). Here is an infographic with cooking basics for pork chops:
Here are a couple of my favorite pork chop posts - be sure to check them out and fix a pork chop for supper tonight:
What is your favorite way to prepare pork chops? Remember to Comment for a Cause!
Yum!!! I love pork chops simply seasoned and grilled outside --and served with fresh corn on the cob.. Yummmmmm
ReplyDeleteI think you just described the perfect Iowa summer meal! Add some apple pie and you might be in heaven - oh wait, that is Iowa ;)
DeleteThis is great. I love the Food & Family project - I was an Iowa Girl Eats fan before, but I love her even more for giving her voice to farmers. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more! I think the "Join My Journey" program is a great way for Iowans, and really people from across the nation, to learn about farming, agriculture and food.
DeleteI hope to get to come and see you tomorrow! I am craving some pork chops in a major way now after reading your recipe guide! I love mixing up the different woods when smoking pork. So delicious!
ReplyDeleteI hope to see you. Make sure to flag me down if you make it!
DeleteI wasn't able to go today! But I am curious to here about how it went! I bet all of you had a blast, plus, Jethro's. mmmmm delish! :)
ReplyDeleteWell, Baconfest didn't get my participation, but we eat lots of pork at our house. Our granddaughter will eat bacon every day! I buy unsliced pork loin, split it into roasts and then I can do lots of cooking methods. Tonight is pork and veggies stirfry!
ReplyDeleteI love mixing honey, teriyaki and garlic and marinating them, and then cooking them on the stove. SO good!
ReplyDeleteAnd I totally understand about serving guests pork...because we do the same with beef. Probably because we have an abundance of it in the freezer! hahaha
I needed this info! I don't cook porkchops often, as i don't really care for them, but my hubby likes them, and I need to cook them more often, and will use this as my guide! (I don't eat alot of meat.. I'm not vegetarian, I hate chewing meat.. I was that picky kid. ) Thanks! Jan
ReplyDeleteWe love porkchops and would eat them any of these four ways!
ReplyDeleteI love them too - so versatile!
DeleteI am not a huge fan of pork chops but my husband loves them breaded and fried.
ReplyDeleteBreaded is another great way to prepare pork chops and is a favorite in our house.
DeletePork chops are one of those things I don't make that often but enjoy when we do. This reminds me I should make them again soon.
ReplyDeleteI hope you do!
DeleteThank you! My guys love pork chops and I can never have enough ways to make them.
ReplyDeleteI love to hear that you have some pork chop fans in your house!
DeletePork chops are so delicious and versatile. We definitely eat chops all four ways.
ReplyDeleteWe do too. Pork Chops can be delicious and juicy if cooked properly.
DeleteI don't make pork chops very often, but just breaded them in pretzels last week which was a hit!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds delicious! I'm going to have to try that soon.
DeleteYou can't go wrong with pork chops, these are great ideas. I love to grill them and top with fresh mango or pineapple salsa.
ReplyDeleteYummy! My favorite way is probably grilling them. It was just nice enough outside the other day that I got chops out to grill but then discovered I was out of gas :( Now I'm set for the next nice day though ;)
