Brace yourselves … I’m offering up a savory dish today! Shocking I know, since I’m known more for my love of baking and sweets, but let’s be honest, cookies, cakes and tarts a diet does not make! As much as I wish they did! Still, I was feeling inspired after seeing these instant pot frozen pork chops recipes. These Teriyaki Pork Chops with Blueberry Relish are yummy, quick and easy – great for a weekday dinner. The sweetness of the blueberries balance the heat of the Serrano chilies perfectly and since it’s a lean and healthy meal, you can justify a cookie, slice of cake or scoop of ice cream for dessert 😉

While this recipe is super simple, there is something about pairing fruit with a protein that instantly elevates the meal. Quite honestly I was being over run with blueberries and wanted to switch things up so I thought I would try my hand at something savory. Enjoy!

The home was designed by the incredible duo behind Pencil and Paper Co., Gen and Benjamin Sohr, who masterfully paired crisp white walls with soft grey and warm brass accents to create the most lovely palette.  How beautiful is that painted brick? And the School House Electric lighting throughout the home has me ready to overhaul all of the lighting in my own space!

They say you never forget your first … I remember it vividly, we had just arrived into Brazil from Argentina and were weary, hungry and thirsty.  Eagerly we each ordered Brazil’s national drink, a Caipirinha.  The bartender warned us to ease into the drink … huh?  Ease into it?  One sip and I knew exactly what he meant!  The burn is something I will never forget!  I also vaguely remember vowing never to have another!  Funny thing though … they start to grow on you 😉
