A tested til perfect recipe #1

I decided that this weekend I was going to try a new recipe for dinner Saturday and Sunday.   My Mum always gives me her old Canadian Living and Toronto Life Magazines where I promptly tear out any pages that interest me and throw the rest of it in the recycling.  I figure its high time I actually try out these recipes.

Saturday I made the Pork Chops With Cider Sauce and Creamy Herb Polenta.

It turned out pretty well, like any new recipe for me it took a little while to prep everything and get ready to do it, im used to cooking by memory so its a lot of cutting while cooking on the fly. We paired it with a white wine we got for Sundays recipe and gave the boys glasses of apple juice in their own little glasses.  I had never made Polenta before so that was a neat experience, it was super flavourfull and easy to make. Next time I need to cook it a little less because once it cooled down a bit it got pastier in texture, otherwise a grade A meal that I will try again. The ingredients in the Polenta could easily be put into couscous or mashed potatos too.  I think the tested til perfect recipes will get a few more gos in our house.
