Afterward, place a frying pan on medium heat and melt your butter on it. Once it is melted, pour in the flour and mix until it makes a paste consistency.

3. The Farmer’s Salad

Let’s have some more delicious greens next. The farmer’s salad is next on the menu!

Ingredients 

1. 16 ounces of your favorite pasta
2. 2 Squashes
3. Zucchini
4. Red Onion
5. Olive oil
6. Salt and pepper
7. Cheese of your choice
8. Grape tomatoes
9. Basil
10. Nuts of your liking
11. Lemon juice

Instructions

First, you must dice your cheese into small cubes. Another option is to shred your cheese and keep it in a bowl.

Then, cook your pasta and leave it in a bowl and set it aside.

Pour a few teaspoons (up to your liking) on your vegetables (tomato is a fruit) and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook these in a frying pan for 10 minutes. They should be tender.

Dice the vegetables after cooking and set them aside.

Grab a small bowl and pour three tablespoons of lemon juice. Mix with six tablespoons of olive oil. Once they are mixed together, add all of your pasta and vegetables together.

Then, add your cheese and tomatoes and nuts. You can pour a dressing of your choice or eat it as it is.

4. Pork Chops

Now onto a delicious main course!

Ingredients 

1. Thinly-sliced pork chops
2. Butter
3. Fresh parsley
4. Olive oil
5. Balsamic vinegar
6. Honey
7. Dijon mustard
8. Minced shallot
9. Garlic
10. Salt and pepper

Instructions

Set aside the pork chops, butter, and parsley. Place the pork chops into a zipper bag.

Add all of the other ingredients into a mason jar. We recommend half a cup of olive oil and another half cup of the balsamic vinegar. 2 teaspoons of the dijon mustard and one teaspoon the honey will also suffice.

Shake the mason jar until everything is mixed nicely. You now have your marinade! Pour this marinade into a bowl and place the pork chops (still in the bag) into the marinade for 6 hours. If you have time, keep it in the marinade for an entire day.

Once marinated, heat a frying pan with olive oil. Once heated, place half of the pork chops in the pan and cook them. About 5 minutes should do it.

Then repeat this with the remainder of the pork chops. When finished wrap all pork chops in foil.

Turn your frying pan to low heat and pour the marinade in. Once it is liquid, add the butter to give it thickness.

Finally, add your pork chops and parsley and you are ready to go!
