I've had a good day in the "make your own" category.  I'm pleasantly pleased!

I made 3 batches of the Cake Mix Cookies.  Chocolate, Orange & Butter Vanilla with Pecans.  They came out really nice & soft and were gobbled up as they came out of the oven.  I sent a bunch home with my mom.  I think the chocolate cookies would be really good as the outsides of an ice cream sandwich!!

Having had success with my cookies, I decided that instead of frying my pork chops as I normally would I would make up a "shake n bake" type rub.  I only rubbed half of the chops just in case they didn't turn out well and again, I was surprised and pleased!

Here is the concotion I used!

NOTE:  I rarely measure when seasoning so I have to admit that I kinda shook some here, poured some there, a smidge of this, a dash of that.....so..you'll have to use your own judgement....sorry!  I started with small amounts and then added, tasted, added, tasted.

Brown Sugar (quite a bit)

Paprika

Cayenne Pepper

Garlic Salt

Ground Black Pepper

Mild Curry Powder

Dry Mustard

Oil to moisten

Then rub your meat on both sides and bake in the oven.  I baked my boneless pork chops at 350 for about 20 minutes.

It's a sweet/hot flavor not exactly spicy but that could be adjusted with the amount of cayenne used.

DS9 said, "these pork chops are delicioso" & "can I have more".  The true mark of success...can I have more?!!

Let me know if you try it.
