Budget Meals Under 10 Dollars - Apple Pork Chops

October traditionally is apple buying season. As fall creeps into winter, we find ourselves buying apple cider, making caramel apples for Halloween, and filling our home with the smells of fresh baked apple pies. This is the time of the year when we first put on our winter coats or crank on the heat in the house. It is the perfect time for good, rib-sticking comfort food. Food that goes down warm and sends warmth throughout your body. Food that stays with you all day long. I have a great recipe that is both economical and fits the bill for warmth and taste. As an added benefit, this recipe will generously incorporate the apple and allow us to stay with the theme of the season.

This recipe is also extremely easy to make and uses some wonderful rustic ingredients. These rustic ingredients blend together to create some unbelievable aromas. This recipe calls for two red apples but I always use an extra one for good measure. Sometimes I will mix a Red Delicious with a Granny Smith just to contrast flavors. I hope you will enjoy this economical comfort recipe as much as I do and be sure to look out for our other recipes in this ongoing series on great food made at home under $10!

Silit 11-Inch Fry N Serve Pan, Energy Red Review



In the first Indiana Jones film, Marian whacks a bad guy on the head with a frying pan and he goes down hard (I think he died)...meet that frying pan. Its painted like a sexy Lamborghini and is NOT light. The ceramic coating is NOT Teflon and won't flake off when you decide to boil water in it. I've fried eggs with a little butter (this isn't really non-stick), fried fish sticks, and made Chinese noodles ...all with no problems...and cleaned up the pan with water and a sponge.
The only thing that stuck a little (left a "ghost print" which eventually scrubbed off) were Chinese steamed dumplings. I've got this and the 9.5 inch frying pan and am contemplating the 8 inch model. I live in Germany, so the price isn't so insane! Keep your eyes peeled for Silit Silargan cookware like this...I can't imagine you'll be disappointed!
