Four Foods on Friday
![]()
You’re answering this week’s Four Foods on Friday questions on your blog, right? Good. If you don’t have a blog, don’t feel left out. You can answer them right here in my comments section!
1. Are your kitchen utensils nylon, silicone, wood or other?
Everything we have is a mish-mosh. We’re at that stage where we are still renting an apartment, so we still tend to live like college students. I have big plans for proper dishes and utensils once we buy a house.
2. Do you prefer dishes washed in a dishwasher or by hand?
Doesn’t much matter as long as I don’t have to do them.
3. How many sets of dishes do you have?
I am positive we don’t have a complete set of dishes. There’s a set of plates and bowls that match, but there’s also favorite one-off dishes and bowls, as well as different platters that were used in photoshoots at work.
4. Share a recipe that calls for only one pot or pan.
This recipe is actually from Atkins, and is one of my favorites. You will also need a bowl, but you only need one skillet!
Cheese n Chili Chops
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- salt and pepper
- 4 boneless center-cut pork chops (about 1 pound)
- 1/4 cup tomato salsa
- 1/2 can (4.5 ounces) diced green chilies, drained
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/3 cup grated Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
Directions:
Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season chops with salt and pepper. Brown chops about 2 minutes per side. Combine salsa, chilies and cumin in a bowl. Pour mixture over chops. Reduce heat to low, cover skillet and simmer chops 5 minutes or until cooked through. Mix cheeses in a bowl. Divide cheese mixture over chops, cover and cook 1 minute, just until cheese melts.

Those pork chops sound amazing. If only I knew what cumin is.

I don’t like cumin, so I leave it out. Don’t tell Dr. Atkin.

Ahh, cumin is an amazing spice. I’ll never forget the one time I had to make chili without it, and I could honestly taste the difference; it was missing that certain “something” that the cumin normally offered…

Yumm. Those sound like they have just the right amount of zest.

Oooo, I dunno, chili over pork chops? That might be a bit hot, no? Sad thing is I’m already figuring out what to put them with lol

Anna – There’s something about cumin that I don’t like. I’m not fond of smokey flavors, so I think that’s it.

Karen – They are super good. My husband, who’s not even on Atkins, loves them, too.

Blueeyes – I use mild tomato salsa and it simmers in the meat, making them a little tangy and not hot at all. I may add extra cream cheese, which mellows everything out, too.
