NEW HAIR NEW YOU! Ombre' highlights!

 I LOVE getting my hair done. I like to get things that are different, play with color and cut. Of course I LOVE pinterest which is always giving me ideas. So here is the inspiration and what my amazing stylist (Amber Lloyd)  at Hair Bizz Inc in Deale, MD did for me.

 

INSPIRATION from Pinterest!

Beer Glazed Skillet Pork Chops- AMAZING and FAST

Beer Glaze pork chops./ Easy and Delicious. The kids loved them.

In a large skillet mix
1 envelope of pork gravy mix
2 tbsp butter
2/3 cup water
2/3 beer
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt
mix until smooth over medium heat.
Add 1/4 of a large sweet onion (sliced).
Add 3-4 large pork chops, bring to boil then reduce heat to medium heat and cook for 15- 20 minutes or until meat thermometer reaches 160 degrees.

Turkey Salisbury Steak! EASY. (sooo much better than beef)

So I LOVE comfort foods. Anything hot, cozy, hearty and preferably smothered in gravy. So of course Salisbury steak is a natural romance for me. I love it, the part I love is how soft it is and easy to eat, I don't like all the fat from the ground beef. Grease and gravy isn't really what I am going for.

So of course I had to try my hand at reinventing it with ground turkey instead.

What you need:

1 large egg
1/2 c milk
1 TBSP fresh parsley
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp onion powder
2 cups of stuffing cubes (those unseasoned crouton things)
1 lb of ground turkey
2 tbsp butter
1 pack of brown gravy mix
1.5 c of water

OPTIONAL (1/2 c mushroom slices, 1/4 chopped yellow onion)

1. In a medium bowl combine egg, milk, parsley, salt and onion powder. Add stuffing cubes and toss. 2. Then let them sit for 5 minutes until softened and when you stir there isn't a lot of crunch.
3. Add ground turkey and combined well.

4. Form 6 palm size balls, roll oblong and flatten. Should be an oval shape almost the size of your hand

5. In a large skillet over med-high heat add butter then add patties. (if you are adding mushrooms/onion add them now) Brown each side for 5 minutes or so, then reduce heat to low. 

6. Mix brown gravy and water then add to skillet pouring over the steaks. Heat on low for about 10-12 minutes flipping once until gravy has formed.
