Adobo Pork

I wish I could take full credit for this meal, but I can take credit for part of it. I had found a recipe for Adobo Pork Chops  that I wanted to try, but it just so happened that a similar dish was being served up at our local Publix, except that it was cubed pork. I didn't even know there was such a thing. Cubed steak, yes, but not pork. It was already pre-seasoned and breaded so it was simple and fast to make. We really liked this one!

However, the next time we went back, the pre-made stuff wasn't available so I went back to my original recipe to try and make my own. This really has a kick to it, but not a burn in your mouth kick. Just lots of flavor. Paired with the potato salad it really makes a yummy meal. We turned our noses up at the potato salad as well, but once we tried it we loved it.

Adobo Cubed Pork

Ingredients:
1 pound Cubed Pork
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 teaspoon hot chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
3 cloves garlic (minced)
3 tablespoons bread crumbs

Preparation:
Mix all dry ingredients together in a small bowl. Mix the oil and vinegar together and then dip the pork into it before rubbing on the dry mixture. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in skillet and place pork into pan.  Cook on both side until no longer pink.

Potato Salad (Publix recipe)
1 package New York style potato salad from Publix
1 green apple (granny smith)
sliced green olives (1/4 cup or more to your liking)

Mix together and serve cold.

 Enjoy!

Easy Baby Sweater and Hat

After searching and attempting to create the perfect - and quick/easy - baby sweater to give as a gift, I finally just combined a few to make the one I wanted. This particular one is more what I would envision for a girl (regardless of color) because of the lacy pattern created with the shells. My next step to find/create one for a boy. This one is simple enough to work up quickly. I only have a few hours of crochet time at night and I completed the set within 3 days. I imagine if you had half a day you could easily finish it in one setting, depending on your skill level. Sweater Materials: 3-4 ounces 3 ply baby yarn  Hook - size F for newborn  size G for 3 to 6 months size H (and 4 ply soft yarn) for 6 to 9 months 2-3 button for closure Pattern: (Shell = 2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) Starting at neckline, loosely ch 38. Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook & in each ch to end. (37 stitches) Row 2: ch 2, turn (counts as 1st dc throughout) 1 dc in ...

Crocheted Adventure Time Fiona Hat

Well, my cosplaying kid asked for another crocheted creation, but I don't watch Adventure Time.  I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into, but this was easy enough and I get to share a free pattern with you.  It straps around the chin with a crocheted button and I had the yarn stashed away.  I love projects that use up leftover yarn, don't you?  I started out with  Lilana Wofsey Dohnert's   Finn hat pattern on Ravelry. She's brilliant.  Then I made adjustments to make it Fiona and fit a bit more snugly.   Materials : Crochet Hook (Size US G-6 (4.0mm)) Yarn Worsted Weight Size 4 Medium ('Soft' recommended) Yarn Sewing Needle Fiberfil Batting Abbreviations : st: stitch ch: chain sl st: slip stitch sc: single crochet hdc: half-double crochet dc: double crochet tr: triple crochet inc: increase (crochet 2 st in single st; preceeded by type of st to use, i.e. 'sc inc') dec: decrease (make 2 st become 1; preceeded by type of st to use, i.e. 's...

Start Running!

Many of you have asked me how I got started with running.  Well, let me tell you!  This was no easy task.  My motto used to be "No one should run unless they are being chased."  Seriously.  Not only could I NOT run, I had always been told I would not ever be ABLE to run.  I have what's called physical activity induced asthma.  How is this different?  It means that any type of physical exertion can cause an asthma attack.  Lucky me!  I found this out when I was on the swim team as a child and pretty much sat everything out from there. Currently, I work with a young woman who has truly inspired me to run and she also has asthma (although not the same kind).  You can check out her blog here .  But it wasn't until October of 2010, when another co-worker started running and my thyroid was at an all time low, that I finally said, "get off your butt and go try it!"  And I did, along with my 14-year-old daughter.  And every ...
