One pan dishes are the way to go if you are a family on the go, not a great cook, or want something tasty, healthy, and easy.  I am a huge fan of Southern Living and Cooking Light magazines, probably because I worked there after college for two years in the test kitchen.  So I know these recipes are perfect in every way.  They have been tested at least four times, so they are perfect for the home cook, and they always look like the picture, which is always a plus.  I know, I know, I love pinterest recipes too but you never know if they will work and who wants a #foodfail on the table?

  The pork chops with apples and brussels sprouts came out perfect and makes for a great meal after a long cold and rainy day.  Nothing beats having your meal ready at the same time with easy clean up. Make sure you check out this link so you can cook this meal for yourself, family, or friends one weeknight or weekend.

Also I am so excited about Southern Living celebrating there 50th birthday.  Thanks to my grandmother I have almost every yearend cookbook they have published, nothing beats a vintage cookbook.  I love southern living and trust them with all my recipe and kitchen needs.  They have an amazing publication and have grown and changed with the times.  Make sure you check out this months magazine with all the celebration of helping perfect the southern culture for everyone in the south and who wish they lived in the south.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOUTHERN LIVING
