Golden Globes: Green Glam

January 11, 2016 by Julie 1 Comment

I always love watching the Golden Globes. Not only do I love the awards being an uber TV fan + movie fan, but I enjoy channeling my inner Joan Rivers.

Instead of a Best Dressed list, this year I was in complete love with the deep green emerald jewel tones. The pop of color was classic and great for January as well.

Great job, ladies!

Golden Globes 2013–Top 5 Best Dressed

January 15, 2013 by Julie 3 Comments

I really enjoyed the Golden Globes this year. Tina Fey & Amy Pohler KILLED it!! Their opening was so great, loved it! I knew that they rocked it especially when my Dad called me last night to tell me that they were funny. He’s a tough cookie.

The Globes are my favorite awards show of the year. I love TV and movies, so it’s an action packed two hours for me.

I’m in no way a fashion expert at all! I wear a variation of the same thing (shirt, cardigan, jeans, flats) every day. But I still like to look at gorgeous dresses! Two of my top picks were also in my top five last year too.

And the award goes to…….

Smothered Pork Chops

Did you watch the Golden Globes last night?  They were pretty dull.  I watched to see if Homeland would will Best Drama TV Series and to see if Claire Danes would win Best Actress in a TV Drama Series.  It did and she did!  Love that show!

And, of course, I watched to see what everyone was wearing!!

Smothered Pork Chops

Recipe adapted from Food Network Magazine–Dec 2011

Ingredients:

6 boneless pork chops
Kosher salt, to taste
1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons EVOO
1 tablespoon butter
1 large onion, slice 1/4″ thick
1 cup mushrooms, sliced (I used shiitake mushrooms.)
1 tablespoon thyme
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2/3 cup buttermilk

Instructions:

Sprinkle the pork chops on both sides with salt and the Cajun seasoning.  Pour the flour into a shallow dish.  Dredge the pork chops in the flour, coating on both sides.  Tap off any excess flour.  Reserve the remaining flour.

Heat the EVOO in a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Add the pork chops to the heated skillet.  Cook until browned, 2-3 minutes on each side.  Transfer browed pork chops to a plate.

Add the butter, onion, mushrooms, and thyme to the skillet.  Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Add 2 tablespoons of the reserved flour to the skillet.  Cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously.  Add the chicken broth, bring to a boil and cook about 2 minutes.  Add the buttermilk to the skillet, stir.

Return the pork chops to the skillet.  Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low.  Cook until the sauce is thickened and the pork chops are cooked, 10-12 minutes.

Serve!
