2 tsbp sriarchia sauce
1 tbsp asian sweet chili sauce

S&P
sesame seeds

The How to:
Preheat oven to 405.
Mix the hoisin, soy, sesame oil, garlic, and chili sauce in a separate container
Pour mixture over pork chops (it would be best if you marinate the chops for about two hours) 
Season with S&P
Cook 45 minutes
Top with sesame seeds

Will and I both loved this.  This dish was Will approved!

For the Chicken

~1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar
Olive Oil
Clove of garlic - minced

The How To:
Preheat oven to 405
Place chicken in a foil lined dish (for easy clean up)
Spray with olive oil, add balsamic vinegar
Place some garlic on each piece of chicken and season with S&P
Bake for about 45 minutes

For the Mushroom
Ingredients:

1 tbsp butter
Olive Oil 
S&P 
marsala cooking wine
Carton of Baby bellas

The How To:
In a small pan heat butter 
Add mushrooms and top with a little olive oil and marsala

I served the mushrooms over some pasta and topped it with truffle oil - and it was delicious.  I could each these mushrooms at every meal.  Will is going to learn to love mushrooms soon enough.  


Both of these dishes were Will approved (but I forgot to take the after picture)
