OrangeHatCreations

My life has been devoted to creating ever since I was a child; it’s almost like it is in my DNA to create. Whether I’m painting, digitally drawing, taking on new yarn art, or cooking unique food; it’s where I find my happiness. This year (2025) I’m going to start creating like i never have before! So please hang around for some new creations & some old ones as I upload my art adventure! 🫶🔸🧢

30-Minute Brown Sugar Pork Chops 🍖🍯

Ingredients 4 boneless pork chops 2 tbsp olive oil 1/4 cup brown sugar (packed) 1 tbsp Dijon mustard 1 tbsp soy sauce (low-sodium preferred) 1 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon Salt and black pepper to taste Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish (optional) Instructions Prep the Pork Chops:

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and ground cinnamon. Cook the Pork Chops:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for about 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F). Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside. Make the Brown Sugar Glaze:

In the same skillet, add brown sugar, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and a splash of water. Stir to combine and bring the sauce to a simmer. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens into a glaze. Glaze the Pork Chops:

Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the brown sugar glaze over them. Let the chops simmer in the glaze for another 2 minutes, turning to coat them evenly. Serve:

Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley, if desired. Serve the brown sugar pork chops with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side dishes.

The first focaccia bread I made!

An everything bagel focaccia 🍞

Check out those dips and valleys! I was super proud of this one since it was my first one I thought it’d be worse but it was delicious; a little denser than a focaccia bread should be but I’ll get there! 🫶

A double dose of sweets! 🍬

On the left is a cinnamon roll peach cobbler inspired casserole & on the right is a blueberry honey biscuit casserole! 🥘

Banana bread like you’ve never seen! (Or maybe you have?) this banana bread is made using a focaccia bread style recipe and brown sugar instead of white sugar. & don’t forget those Belgium chocolate chips chopped up randomly to add bits of chocolate all over the bread! This bread is topped with a cinnamon sugar cream cheese icing! Super proud of this recipe! ❤️ Follow for more fun!

A little chicken recipe I like to call “I guess we’re still dating chicken” an interesting twist on “Marry me chicken”.

This recipe calls for asparagus instead of spinach. (Quick backstory- my spinach went bad so I had to make it work, and it did!) I also used a can of fired roasted tomatoes with the juices drained instead of sun dried like in the original recipe. 🤤
