Recipe: Braised pork chops in a wine apple sauce

Oh yeah, it came out just as good as it sounds :) 

5 or 6 pork chops the thicker the better
1 apple thinly sliced
1 or 2 large potatoes also thinly sliced
1/4 bottle white sparkling wine
2 tbs honey
sage
pepperoncini
oregano
salt
pepper to taste


place chops in baking pan, cover with wine (put however much you want, the more more you put, the juicier they will come).  Drizzle the pork with honey, and all other spices to taste.  layer the apples and the potatoes on top and sprinkle with salt.  
Place in 350* oven (not celcius!)  let bake approximately 10 minutes and check.  If steaming carefully flip meat, if not, wait another 5 minutes and then turn.  If they are thin, turn sooner.  Let them cook another 5 minutes, 10 max.  Don't let all of the wine cook off.  And feel free to add more, if it's waning. 
And done!
Simple!

Recipe: chocolate chip cookies

well, I'm still perfecting the recipe, but they came out pretty good anyway :)  I apologize for the lack of precision, i don't have any measuring utensils and i'm translating everything from Italian...

1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar lightly packed (I accidently overpacked mine)
1 egg (although i think 2 would be better)

1 stick of butter (approximate, because here they go by grams, and i used less i think)

1 small package vanilla (in the states 1 tbs vanilla extract) 

1/2 package baking soda equivalent lol  (prolly 2tbs) 
1/2 200 gram br of chocolate chopped up

Preheat oven to 170*c

Take all dry ingredients and mix into a bowl

Add egg and butter and mix together until cookie dough consistrncys achieved.  If the dough gets too sticky add a little bit more flour. 

Place aluminum foil in pan for easy cleanup, roll dough into 1/2 inch to inch balls and space carefully in pan. Bake until slightly golden.  Remove from pan and place on paper towel in sealable tuperware to maintain soft baked quality :) 

I'll still be editing this recipe though.  It's kind of necessary :)
