Today’s Menu: Bison Steak, Eggs, Hash Browns, and Toast Breakfast
To start my Morning off I Poached an Egg and served it on a Thomas Light English Muffin. I also had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. After Breakfast I went and picked up Breakfast for Mom at 
McDonald’s. Back home did a couple of loads of laundry and did some light cleaning around the house. Had thunderstorms and a big change in the temperature, only a high of 79 degrees. Felt like having a Breakfast again for Dinner tonight. I prepared a Bison Fillet, one Egg Sunny Side Up, Hash Browns, and Toast!
For my Steak I fried up a SayersBrook 4 oz. Bison Fillet Mignon. I just seasoned it with some McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley. I then grabbed a small skillet, sprayed it with Pam
Cooking Spray, and added a 1/2 tablespoon of Extra Light Olive Oil. Heated it on medium heat. Fried the first side 3 minutes and flipped it over and cooked it another 2 minutes. I it came out a perfect medium rare! It was so tender and juicy.
Next I used the same skillet and I prepared a Sunny Side Up Egg. Fried it on medium low, seasoned with Morton’s Lite Salt and Ground Black Pepper.
As the the Steak and Egg were cooking, in another skillet I prepared some Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns. I love these, I could have them every day! Again I used a small skillet, sprayed it 
with Pam Cooking Spray, added 1 tablespoon of Extra Light Olive Oil, and heated it on medium heat. I fried these for 14 minutes. When done I sprinkled some Sargento Off the Block Sharp Cheddar Cheese.
Finally I toasted a couple of slices of Aunt Millie’s Light Whole Grain Bread. Topped them with some I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. I had one hearty Comfort Food Dinner tonight! For Dessert/Snack
later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn and a Sprite Zero to drink.

Cumin Spiced Pork Chops w/ Golden Hominy and Cut Green Beans and Potatoes

Today’s Menu: Cumin Spiced Pork Chops w/ Golden Hominy and Cut Green Beans and Potatoes
For Breakfast this morning I toasted a Thomas Light English Muffin and topped it with Sumucker’s Sugar Free Blackberry Jam. Also had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. 91 degrees, humid, and 
partly cloudy outside today. Went to Kroger for Mom and then by McDonald’s to pick up Breakfast for her. Not a thing to do today. It’s too hot and humid to even get my cart out of the shed. So I cleaned the fridge and freezer. Cleaned the counters and shelves next. So for dinner tonight I prepared Cumin Spiced Pork Chops w/ Golden Hominy and Cut Green Beans and Potatoes.
We’ve had the trio of Chops, Hominy, and Green Beans and Potatoes several times, but its been a while. So we are having tonight! I had purchased the Chops at Meijer and had them in the freezer.
I set them in the fridge overnight to thaw. To prepare my Chops I’ll need; The Cumin Spiced Rub which consists of 1 tbsp Roasted Cumin, 1 tsp Garlic Powder, 1 tsp Chili Powder, 1 teaspoon Sea Salt, 1/2 teaspoon Hungarian Paprika, 2 teaspoons Dried Oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper. To prepare it preheat oven to 400°. Combine all the ingredients; rub it all over the pork chop. Let stand 20 minutes. Start by heating the Extra Virgin Olive oil in a Cast Iron Skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork to pan; cook 3 minutes, browning both sides. From the stove to the oven and bake at 400° for 20 minutes until the thermometer registered 150°, turning after 5 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Fantastic combo of Spices, which makes one incredible Crust on the Chops with the inside being tender and moist! Love this seasoning on Pork!
I love the combination of the Hominy and Green Beans/Potatoes. I opened up a can of one of my favorite side dishes, Kroger Brand Golden Hominy. For those that never had or heard of Hominy; 
Hominy is a food made from kernels of corn which are soaked in an alkali solution of either lime or lye. The corrosive nature of the solution removes the hull and germ of the corn and causes the grain itself to puff up to about twice its normal size. My favorite is the Golden Hominy. If you’ve never tried it do, makes a delicious side dish!
Then I also heated up a can of Del Monte Cut Green Beans and Potatoes. As everything was cooking I also Baked a Loaf of Garlic Loaf Bread. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop 
Corn with a Ice Water to drink.
Pork Facts….
One serving of pork is 3 ounces, or about the size of a deck of cards, according to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. An image of the portion size is important because a thick pork chop can be twice that size and without realizing it you can eat double the calories. You’ll get 137 calories and 4 grams of fat from a 3-ounce pork chop. Pork is similar to chicken, with 3 ounces of chicken breast containing 140 calories and 3 grams of fat. A pork chop has 65 milligrams of cholesterol, compared to 72 grams in chicken breast, but they both have just 1 gram of saturated fat.

BUFFALO STEAK WITH BLISTERED TOMATO SAUCE
Many food items can stand on their own, but sometimes you hit a trifecta, where the equal balance of each emulsifies with the other and creates a party in your mouth.
You are going to love this dish. Simple. Delicious. And… easy. Note: I used the Hanger Steak/ Hanging Tender for this recipe, but any of our premium steaks would work as well.
Ingredients:
1 – 1 lb. Wild Idea Hanging Tender
3 – tablespoons olive oil.
1 – teaspoon salt & pepper
12 – ounces cherry tomatoes, halved
1 – teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or ½ dry
½ – teaspoon fresh oregano or ¼ dry
2 – cloves garlic, chopped or 1½ tablespoons
2 – anchovy filets
1 – tablespoon capers
½ – cup white wine
salt and black pepper to taste
Squeeze of fresh lemon
Preparation:
1 – Using a filet knife remove sinew piece that runs down the center of the hanging tender. This will give you two long strips of meat , one will be smaller in size than the other. Or, you can leave whole.
2 – Rub the steak pieces with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a teaspoon of salt and pepper. Allow to rest while you prepare the Blistered Tomatoes.
3 – For the tomatoes, heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium high heat, and add the halved tomatoes spreading them evenly over the pan. . Allow them to cook for about 7 
minutes.
4 – Add the herbs and garlic and stir to incorporate.
5 – Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook for 5 minutes.
6 – Remove the tomatoes form the heat while you prepare the steaks.
7 – Over a high heat, 500* grill – grill the prepped steaks for one and a half minutes on each side (smaller half of steak for just a minute on each side.
8 – Remove form the grill, cover and rest while finishing the tomatoes.
9 – Add the anchovies, breaking up with a spoon and add the capers and wine. Stir to incorporate and continue to cook until wine is reduced to half.
10 – Taste and season with salt & pepper and fresh squeeze of lemon before serving.
11 – Carve the steak into desired pieces and serve with Blistered Tomato Sauce and Risotto. So good!
