I love trying new things in the kitchen, especially since I became a stay at home mom. But, I really hate when I want to try a new recipe and I don't have all the necessary spices. So I go out and buy paprika, lemon zest, yada, yada, yada only to need a pinch of this or a half a tsp of that. And then those spices just sit on the rack collecting dust, especially if my family doesn't enjoy the recipe. This weekend, I tried McCormick's Dinner Inspirations. I have always been a McCormick's seasoning mixes so I thought I would give it a try. I was definitely not disappointed. I picked the Apple and Sage Pork Chops recipe kits. Along with all the necessary spices (paprika, sage, allspice, thyme and garlic), the kit came with simple instructions and a list of other ingredients need. I had mostly everything else needed already in the kitchen (apple juice, apples, onions, flour, salt and brown sugar).

Everything was really simple to do. Mix, brown, saute, simmer and 30 minutes later we had dinner!
Here's the finished product! Doesn't it look yum? With some garlic mashed potatoes and homemade biscuits, it was a Top Chef-esque menu, if I say so myself. My husband and daughter both loved it. Success!
Don't worry if pork and apples aren't your thing. There are plenty of other Recipe Inspirations to try, including, Caribbean Grilled Steak, Asian Sesame Salmon, Tuscan Chicken Stew and more!
