An Experiment with Pork Chops and Pineapple

Tonight I decided to create a stuffed pork chop. I had a fresh pineapple that needed to be used and thought that making a cream cheese stuffing would be delicious. I cut up half a jalapeƱo pepper, a small red bell pepper, and a couple of handfuls of pineapple.

I mixed it with Parsley flakes ( I really wanted to use Cilantro, but I didn't have any.) Cumin, Chipotle Chili Pepper, and cream cheese. I have found this cream cheese Greek yogurt blend that I LOVE!
I don't usually measure when I cook. Only when baking. Anyways. I think next time I won't use as much cream cheese. It was a tad bit runny.
We intended on grilling, but a storm blew in and it was raining too hard. 
So, I whipped out the grill pan. As you can see, the filling ran out some.
The finished product.
Will I make it again? Probably so. I don't usually cook the same things every week, but I'm sure it will come around again. When it does, I will do a few things differently. I know I don't want to put as much cream cheese or chipotle powder in it. You never know with me. I hardly ever follow a recipe to a tee (Again, except with baking. It's a science. You can mess so shit up if you don't). I add or substitute all the time. That's what makes cooking so much fun.

Pool Time!

We spent the weekend at our friends' pool. We took the dogs with us Sunday so they could have a play date. M and B have to pit bulls that are so sweet. Nahla, the youngest one, loves to play! They were also puppy sitting the cutest beagle ever!  They absolutely love going places! They were waiting in the car while I was loading our things.  I've never been able to get Hatfield in the pool, but Lilly loves it. She started off just sitting on the steps and one day she just jumped in. So, now she jumps in every now and then to cool off. Kev mixed up refreshing peach mojitos (I guess I've had major peach craving lately) this weekend. I'd share the recipe but that's his job. I never really know what all goes into what I'm drinking. I just know it's delicious! 

And a Roof

They finished the roof up today! Back of the house. Front of the house. They use these to hold the plywood together.

The Crud

I feel like crud! I've blown my nose so much this weekend that my face is raw and red. I can't imagine how I have this much snot in me. Anyways. I didn't get my Thursday 3 miler in or my 9 mile long run this weekend. How can I run when I can't freaking breathe?!? I've been taking medicine and using my Nettie Pot, so here's hoping I feel like running towards the end of this week. So glad this is a short work week and a field trip on Wednesday. I NEED a break!!
