Pork Chops with Pomegranate White Balsamic Pan Sauce

November 21, 2017 By Holly 10 Comments

Pomegranate White Balsamic PorkAs a former vegetarian of nearly 16 years, I am still getting my feet wet in the land of cooking meat. Unsurprisingly, when I first started back into eating and cooking meat, chicken was frequently my go to animal protein source. Easy to prepare, readily available and generally a pretty healthy choice, it can be made a million different ways with sauces or spices which is great for home cooks of all experience levels. I’ve only recently come to realize that pork – and pork loin, in particular – is a similarly great option. A lean, easy to cook meat, it works well with tons of different flavors and is quick cooking for busy nights. I love center cut pork loin chops for weeknight dinners, particularly with a simple pan sauce. I’ve frequently used a basic balsamic vinegar to make a pan sauce and have loved it. So when our friends at Queen Creek Olive Mill sent us a bottle of their Pomegranate White Balsamic Vinegar, I just had to get in the kitchen and play! The result? These Pork Chops with Pomegranate White Balsamic Pan Sauce….

Roasted Pear and Apple Salad with Pomegranate Vinaigrette

I love winter food.  Short ribs and mashed potatoes. Pastas and soups.  My dutch oven works overtime putting out delicious comfort foods.  But despite a temperature today of -21 (I am sadly not exaggerating about that one), I just craved salad.  But it had to be a hearty one.  One with a tangy dressing.  A salad like Roasted Pear and Apple Salad with Pomegranate Vinaigrette.…

Pomegranate Lime Sorbet

If you’re ever in need of a crazy easy dessert, this Pomegranate Lime Sorbet is most certainly a contender. The recipe was adapted from the November 2015 issue of Bon Appétit. In the magazine, they used the sorbet to make parfaits with labneh (a Lebanese strained yogurt – similar to greek style), pistachios and a drizzle of honey. As we were using the sorbet as a palate cleanser of sort for our recent dinner party, we chose to serve it simply in Meyer lemon halves, sprinkled with a dusting of lime zest….

Need to bring a winter salad to a gathering?  This Winter Salad will brighten anyone’s table!

Pomegranate Salad offset

Recently, I was asked to bring a salad for a dinner at a friend’s house.  The morning of the event, I still did not know what I was going to bring.  To me, salad is a summer-ish food and despite my deep love for all things salad, I just had a mental block.  While looking for a good winter salad option I stumbled upon Melissa D’Arabian’s Pomegranate, Squash and Apple salad from her cookbook Supermarket Healthy.  (To be honest, I stumbled upon two of her fabulous salads, but the other salad is a topic for another post!)  …
