We love smothered stuff in the South. Smothered pork chops and smothered chicken recipes abound. This one has an ingredient you would never expect!

 

That ingredient is buttermilk and that makes it quite different. Who would think to use buttermilk for a sauce? But it totally works!!

These chops have a nice crisp outside and are lovely and juicy inside and the sauce is outstanding.

Wiener Schnitzel Recipe – Grandma’s Secret!

Grandma kept her Wiener Schnitzel Recipe a closely guarded secret. But, it’s not that hard to figure out. Comfort food for all of us, German or otherwise.

 

A really easy and delicious way to prepare chicken or turkey breasts, or even the traditional veal. It’s also very, very good with pork medallions.

If the meat is pounded quite thin and the oil is quite hot then it browns quickly without overcooking the meat. The lemon gives it a lovely flavor.
