Greek Seasoned Chop






There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.  - Proverbs 14:12






6 bone in center cut pork chops
Greek seasoning( I make my own, recipe under seasoning tab this blog)
Seasoned meat tenderizer
Olive oil for frying

Pound chop.
Seasoning both sides with tenderizer, it's salty so go very lightly, then use the Greek seasoning as a rub. 
Bring oil up to medium high heat and add chops, I did 3 at a time cause my non stick skillet is huge.
After they are lightly browned on both sides, cover. 
Cook until temp reaches 140 degrees.
These were delicious!!!


Coconut Flour and All Purpose Flour Biscuits






5 Let the heavens praise your wonders, O LORD, your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones! 
6 For who in the skies can be compared to the LORD? Who among the heavenly beings is like the LORD, 
7 a God greatly to be feared in the council of the holy ones, and awesome above all who are around him?  - Psalm 89:5-7




1 c organic coconut flour
1 c AP flour
6 T butter, cut into 1/8 inch chunks
1/4 t cream of tarter
1 t salt
1 T baking powder 
2 t sugar

Add these after mixing dry ingredients.
1 c buttermilk
Pinch of baking soda


Put all dry ingredients plus the butter in food processor and plus a few times to get the consistency of corn meal.
You will have a few tiny beads of butter, you want this.
Put into mixing bowl.
Add soda to buttermilk and add to dry ingredients.
Mix.
Mixture will be like a cookie consistency.
Pull a small amount of the dough.
Roll out in your hand and pat down.
Bake preheated oven 375 degrees 15-20 minutes.
Outside of biscuit will have crunchy texture but inside will be fluffy.
They will look like a drop biscuit.
These biscuits are delicious with a nutty flavor and a toasted coconut fragrance.
