#food #budgetfriendly #homemadefood #foodbank #homemade #cooking #communitypantry On this day I wanted to get things done, preserved and meals on the table. I made two Hawaiian Pork Chops and Chicken vegetable soup along with freezing the bananas I received from a previous food bank haul. I was tired at the end of the day! Hawaiian Pork Chops Recipe: 2 lbs porkchops 1 can pineapple chunks 1/2 cup chopped onions 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers 1/2 cup soy sauce 1/3 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup ketchup 3 tbs lemon juice 2 tbs minced garlic 1/2 cup water 2 tbs corn starch 1tsp salt 1 tsp pepper Place all but the corn starch in the crockpot. Cook on high for 3-4 hour or low for 6-8 hours. Open crockpot up flip to high and mix corn starch with 1/4 cup water. Slowly add into the crock pot and stir as you pour it in. Simmer for 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens. Serve over white rice. Chicken Soup Recipe 4-5 pieces of chicken legs and thighs 4-5 medium to small potatoes cut into chunks 3 large carrots cut into chunks 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers 1/2 cup chopped onions 4 small ears of corn 1 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper 2 tbs garlic lemons or limes Place everything into the pot and add water to desired amount. Let simmer for 45 minutes to an hour until the chicken is done and the carrots and potatoes are tender. Serve in soup bowl and squeeze lemon or lime juice on top the soup. Enjoy!
