Method

Pork Chops

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and chopped fresh rosemary to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Pork Chops

    Rub the marinade all over the pork chops and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat while the pork chops are marinating.

  4. 4

    Grill the Pork Chops

    Place the marinated pork chops on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes.

Mashed Potatoes

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the russet potatoes into quarters.

  2. 6

    Cook the Potatoes

    Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and add a teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 7

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Broccoli

  1. 8

    Prepare the Broccoli

    Wash and cut the broccoli into florets.

  2. 9

    Cook the Broccoli

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add broccoli florets, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender and bright green.

Applesauce

  1. 10

    Prepare the Apples

    Peel, core, and chop the apples into small pieces.

  2. 11

    Cook the Apples

    In a saucepan, combine chopped apples, sugar, cinnamon, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the apples are soft.

  3. 12

    Mash the Apples

    Using a fork or potato masher, mash the cooked apples to your desired consistency.
