    Pork chops in garlic-butter sauce with mushrooms. I usually serve them with mashed potatoes and steamed fresh green beans. If you don’t do pork, you can do the exact same thing with chicken breasts.

    3-4 thick-cut pork chops, preferably bone-in

    1 cup mushrooms, cleaned and sliced

    4 tablespoons butter

    2-4 garlic cloves, minced

    1 tablespoon fresh oregano, OR 1 teaspoon dried

    1 tablespoon fresh thyme, OR 1 teaspoon dried

    1/2 cup flour

    3/4 cup milk

    2 cups chicken broth

    Salt and pepper to taste

    Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

    1. Preheat oven to 350 F.

    2. In a large oven-proof skillet, combine the butter, garlic, herbs, and mushrooms over medium-high heat.

    3. When the butter has melted, push everything to the sides and add the pork chops. Sear until golden on both sides.

    4. Spread the mushrooms evenly over everything, and put skillet in the oven. Bake for around 35 minutes, or until the pork chops are at 150-160 F.

    5. Remove from oven and set the pork chops aside to rest. Tent foil over them to keep them warm. You can remove the mushrooms too if you want, but don’t take away too much of the fat in the pan. You need whatever is in there for the gravy.

    6. Put the skillet over low heat and whisk the flour into the fat in the pan. No lumps! Cook for 1-2 minutes to cook the flour and keep whisking. Whisk in the milk and chicken broth and cook until gravy is thick. Keep whisking the entire time. Flavor with salt and pepper to taste. If you want, you can add a pinch (1/8 teaspoon-ish) of red pepper flakes. It balances out the richness of the butter. You can also just put hot sauce on table, if you have spice-averse guests.

    Babish’s Panko Crusted Salmon.

    It’s stupid easy & relatively quick. The hardest part for me was the egg white. Had never done it before.

    If you’ve never done it before, & break the yolk on the first try… don’t dump the egg, just save it for breakfast. Yes, I dumped the egg.

    Link to video, I think it’s the second dish, towards the middle.

    Link to recipe is in the video description.

    Edit: PipedBot shamed me.Link to recipe if you don’t want to go to YouTube.

    Japanese curry is both easy and a crowd pleaser. I saute whatever veggies I have on hand and just add curry mix and water to it (S&B medium spice is my go to brand). Serve with flatbread or rice. It’s very forgiving and customizable to personal taste.
