Mushroom Marsala Pork Chops Recipe | Club Foody

 

We love our pork chops. During the summertime, we simply season them with salt and pepper. Then we put them on the barbecue and grill to medium-rare. We enjoy them with potato or pasta salad, fries 🍟, coleslaw, and veggies.
 
Come fall 🍂 and winter, it’s totally different. I like to enhance this protein by making more complex recipes such as Sweet Chili Ginger Pork Chops, French Onion Dijon Pork Chops, Pork Chops with Pineapple BBQ Sauce, Honey Mustard Pork Chops, and many others.
 
Another one that figures on that list 📑 is my Mushroom Marsala Pork Chops! This easy recipe is loaded with flavor! Seared to perfection, a delicious rich and savory mushroom sauce covers the chops. It’s a tasty recipe to make during the colder months.
 
After seasoning 🧂 on one side, the pork chops are dusted with flour. This step has a few purposes. The flour acts as a protective barrier that prevents the protein from drying out during searing on high heat. It creates a nice, crispy crust, and it also helps build a beautiful flavor for our sauce.
 
Like in this Mushroom Marsala Pork Chops or other recipes when I dust with flour, I put a small amount in a fine sieve and tap the side with a spoon 🥄. That way, I don’t contaminate it, plus I use exactly what I need without wasting it. If there are leftovers in the sieve, they go back into my flour container.
 
For the sauce, I use cremini 🍄 but nothing is stopping you from using different kinds. After the mushrooms and pressed garlic are cooked for 5 minutes, Marsala wine goes in. In the video, I use a non-stick pan, but if you’re using stainless, the wine will help deglaze the pan, scraping off any brown bits from the bottom.
 
When the heavy cream and seasonings are added, the mixture is brought to a boil before pouring in the cornstarch slurry. It takes less than 45 seconds ⏳ to thicken the sauce… it’s that fast! I prefer it over flour slurry because it doesn’t need much to thicken, has no raw taste, and it gives a glossy finish.
 
The pork chops are returned to the skillet, including any accumulated juices – this is serious flavor we never leave behind! The mushroom sauce is spooned over, and the chops are cooked until warmed through; I’d say about 2 to 3 minutes ⌚.
 
These Mushroom Marsala Pork Chops are amazing! Rich and savory, this is an elegant recipe you can easily serve on weekends but is casual enough for weeknights. I like serving them with mashed potatoes 🥔 and steamed vegetables for a complete meal!
Bon Appétit! 🍽

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Recipe • Tasty Copycat! | Club Foody

 

I can’t say I’m a chocoholic, but I do have my moments. I can go for months without having any, and then suddenly, I eat chocolate a few days in a row. No, it has nothing to do with my “woman cycles” because they’re all over the place. I’m going through menopause and can’t wait for this to be over 🙄 – and so can my husband!
 
Back to the chocolate 🍫…
If I have to choose one, I go for dark because of its health benefits 💚. Besides being a great source of antioxidants, it may reduce heart disease, improve brain function as well as blood pressure, lower LDL (bad cholesterol), and increase HDL (good cholesterol). It can also protect the skin from sun damage. I’m sure there are even more benefits related to dark chocolate.
 
Halloween 🎃 is just around the corner, and like previous years, I enjoy posting recipes for the occasion, such as Grandma’s Crunchie Bars, Bounty Chocolate Bites, Dulce de Leche Turtles Chocolates, and now this one… Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups!
 
David and I like these better than the commercial ones. First, they’re freshly made instead of sitting on the shelves for God knows how long. Second, I know exactly what went in instead of some chemical ingredients 🧬🧪 I have a hard time pronouncing. Lastly, I put a little twist in these Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, which makes them taste even better…
 
I use some crunchy peanut butter 🥜 along with the creamy one! Not only does this added ingredient give a lovely texture to the cups, but it also brings a slight crunch to them, making them deliciously more interesting as well as gluten-free. After the peanut butter is measured, to make the task easier when transferring it to the saucepan, use this trick… Measuring Honey, Syrup or Molasses without Sticking
 
There’s another ingredient I add to this recipe, and it’s coconut oil 🥥. It makes the peanut butter mixture creamier and more pourable. I also use powdered sugar. Now, if you want to save a few dollars, you can make your own by clicking on this link… Powdered Sugar ~ Make it, Don’t Buy it!
 
These Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are a great recipe to involve the little ones. They’re fun to make, plus they’re a better version of the ones from the store 🛒. Although it’s a good excuse to make them for Halloween, they’re perfect to enjoy anytime throughout the year…
Bon Appétit!🍽

PUMPKIN SQUARES

 

It’s Halloween!🦇👻🎃
There will be countless “creatures of the night” 👽 wandering in the neighborhood, wearing all kinds of costumes and makeup. To make things even more terrifying, scary decorations will be hung everywhere as a backdrop, with creepy music and sounds playing in the background. Halloween is a very mysterious event!
 
It wouldn’t be a “Trick or Treat” if there weren’t any candies 🍬🍭 and sweets around. I’m sure many of you have already made them or bought some for the little ones. If you forgot about it or are entertaining friends this weekend, here’s a scrumptious recipe… Pumpkin Squares!
 
Amazingly moist and flavorful, these little guys are so scrumptious! This cake is topped with a cream cheese frosting, which is a blank canvas to decorate for the occasion! Besides Halloween, it’s also ideal for other holidays or events such as Thanksgiving or Christmas 🎄!
 
These easy Pumpkin Squares are a lovely dessert to make! This is one of my favorite fall 🍂 baking recipes along with Pumpkin Chai Bread, Pumpkin Cheesecake with Biscoff Crust, Pumpkin Pie, and Pumpkin & Spice Cream Cheese Muffins. With a nice hint of spice, this beloved treat is always a hit!
 
It’s pretty straightforward to make and takes just half an hour ⏰ to bake. I use a very good quality brand of pumpkin purée along with my Pumpkin Pie Spice. There’s also oil that goes in, which provides beautiful moisture and softness.
 
When the batter is done, simply pour it into a prepared 9×13-inch sheet cake pan that has been lined with greased parchment paper, large enough to have overhang on both sides – it’s easier to unmold when it has completely cooled off 😉. Here’s the link to see how I do it… Parchment Paper Rounds for Cakes
 
As I mentioned, it takes about 30 minutes to bake 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳 or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean with just a few crumbs. Not all ovens are the same, so if the top starts getting darker, loosely tent with a piece of foil.
 
After the cake is at room temperature, I top it with my Cream Cheese Frosting. This is the ideal coating when it comes to decorating many baked goods 👩‍🎨! For the size of this cake, you’ll only need half of the frosting recipe. From there, have fun with it! Use my Sanding Sugar, which is another great one to have on hand!
 
This is the perfect treat for the pumpkin lovers out there! These delicious Pumpkin Squares are incredibly easy to make with scrumptious results! Young and old will all love them! Satisfy your sweet tooth 🦷 with this delectable fall recipe!
Bon Appétit! 🍽

Duck Ragù with Pappardelle Recipe • Deliziosa! | Club Foody

 

Pasta dishes are one of my weaknesses 😵. With a wide range of flavors, there are so many ways to prepare them. When it comes to sauces… there’s a vast choice to choose from. I think of Vodka, Alfredo, Marinara, Pomodoro, Arrabiata, and the list goes on.
 
Add some meat 🐂 to it and you get yourself a nice Bolognese, Meat Lasagna, Shrimp Fra Diavolo, Tortellini Boscaiola, Baked Ziti, Turkey Tetrazzini, Ricotta Spinach & Sausage Pasta, Spaghetti alla Carbonara, and more including this one… Duck Ragù with Pappardelle!
 
Called Ragù d’anatra, this is a classic Italian dish that I tweaked to my own version. Honestly, this recipe is fabulous! Simmered slowly for more than a couple hours ⏰, this gorgeous sauce is loaded with bold flavor!
 
From start to finish, this recipe takes slightly over 2 hours to make. This is the kind of dish you want to make on a cold winter day ⛄. With beautiful aromas floating in the air, this robust sauce is perfect to serve on large, thicker pasta such as pappardelle to handle its weight.
 
The beauty of this Duck Ragù with Pappardelle is you can use leftover cooked duck 🦆. That’s the reason why it takes less than 3 hours versus my Lamb Ragù which goes for 5 hours. If your duck is not cooked, sauté the meat in the duck fat until brown.
 
When it comes to liquid, I use red wine 🍷… not white, chicken broth but duck broth is much better and also milk. MILK? Yes, milk helps to tenderize the meat especially when it’s pre-cooked and has been sitting for a couple days in the fridge.
 
Here’s a disturbing story that really ticked me off…
I was talking with one of my girlfriends over the phone 📞 while I was filming and she heard me saying milk. She asked – “coconut milk, right? I was stunned! “Why in the world would you add coconut milk?”, I asked. Her response was that she got a duck ragù recipe on the internet where they were using coconut milk.
 
People!! C’mon, now! This is an Italian dish so give me an intelligent explanation on why to use coconut milk 🥥🥛 in this dish? Coconut milk is from tropical regions and it’s not a part of authentic Italian cuisine. If you want to be a food blogger, do your research instead of throwing non-sense ingredients in the pot. If you want to look “cool”, mention that is an “Italian-inspired” dish… geez 🤨!
 
As the sauce cooks for a long period of time, the flavor from the herbs and spices evaporate with the heat 🔥 so it’s always good to readjust the seasonings. After 2 hours simmering, I like adding just ½ teaspoon each of dried oregano leaves, chopped dried rosemary and dried basil leaves just to give a little lift.
 
This Duck Ragù with Pappardelle is bold, rich and hearty! As the flavors intensify while simmering slowly 🍲, this comforting dish is insanely tasty! While the temperature outside is dropping, make this incredible recipe using your leftover meat… you’ll be so impressed!
Bon Appétit! 🍽

Creamy Tuscan Salmon Recipe • Tasty & Colorful! | Club Foody

 

Since childhood 👧, I’ve always enjoyed eating fish. I find it light, tasty, and very versatile. I have a few favorites, such as Cod, Orange Roughy, Red Snapper, Rainbow Trout, Mahi-Mahi, Perch, Sardines, Bass, Tuna, Swordfish and Marlin.
 
Another one that is incredibly amazing is Salmon! Not only is it tasty, but this fish is also a superfood 💚! Packed with omega-3 fatty acids, protein, vitamin D, vitamin B12, selenium, and potassium, it contribute to brain function, improves heart health, reduces inflammation, and enhaces mood as well as skin, nail, and hair health.
 
I have almost a dozen recipes on the website 💻, and they just keep coming. So far, there’s West Coast Smoked Salmon Chowder, Salmon Pie, Baked Salmon with Dill Sauce, Easy Miso Glazed Salmon, Pacific Coast Salmon on the BBQ, and more. Here’s the latest one… my Creamy Tuscan Salmon!
 
Insanely delicious, this dish is perfect for entertaining, as a weeknight meal, or when time is in short supply. As I’ve mentioned many times, – “We eat with our eyes 👀 first!” -, and this one-pot recipe delivers it beautifully.
 
The first essential step to do is to pat dry the fillets with paper towels so we get a nice sear on them. If the moisture 💦 is left on the surface, the fish will steam rather than sear, resulting in a soggy texture… not so appetizing!
 
Depending on what I find at my supermarket 🛒, the salmon may or may not have skin on. Besides the thickness of the fish, one important thing to know is that the cooking time varies between them, with or without skin.

No skin…
– Place the fish, seasoned side down, and cook, based on the thickness of the fish, for 3:30 to 4 minutes ⏰ while seasoning the top. To know when to flip the fillets, the sides should be halfway done. After flipping, it takes only 2 to 2:30 minutes.
Skin-on…
– The fish fillets are seared skin-side down first until crisp, which takes a little more time, about 4:30 to 6 minutes. After seasoning the top, they’re flipped and the flesh side takes less than 2 minutes ⏳ of searing.
 
As I want to maintain a true Italian vibe for this dish, the seasoning I use for my Creamy Tuscan Salmon is ground sea salt 🧂, freshly ground mixed peppercorns, and Italian seasoning. The rest of the ingredients in this recipe are commonly used in this Roman dish.
 
Like most fish recipes, it takes 30 minutes at most to make this one-pot dish! It’s elegant enough to serve to your guests and also convenient to prepare for a weeknight dinner. It can be enjoyed as is with crusty bread or with rice 🍚.
 
This fabulous, colorful Creamy Tuscan Salmon is so elegant and healthy! Super easy to make 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳, within 30 minutes, you can enjoy this lovely dish! Check out a similar delightful recipe using a different protein… Creamy Tuscan Chicken!
Bon Appétit! 🍽
