la pâtisserie à la noix de coco

by Patty

These petit cuties are puff pastry filled with a coconut filling (coconut flakes, white lily flour, sugar, egg yolks) then drizzled with chocolate ganache made with Valrhona chocolate. I didn't go through the trouble of making puff pastry. The store bought kind will work just fine for this purpose.

Smothered Pork Chops

by Patty

I used pork tenderloin chops for this dish as it takes no time to prepare it. I referred to a recipe on food network by Tyler Florence, tweaked it some and made it my own by changing some of the seasonings. I added more herbs and used onions instead of onion powder. The cooking time remains the same. The pork chops are moist and flavorful!
