Dice Roll For Dinner

Not sure what to fix for dinner grab Foodie Dice and get some inspiration. I bought these dice for my hubby for Christmas and he gave them a roll. This is what I cooked us for dinner from his roll. Better than going to Vegas. Let me know if dice roll for dinner too.

It was really fun coming up with the recipes to fulfill this challenge. I felt like I was on an episode of Chopped because the ingredients were picked for me. My hubby didn’t want to make his dinner the rest of the week, so I didn’t get chopped. We will have to dice roll for dinner again soon. We both really enjoyed this meal!

Never would I have put this combination of veggies together, but I sure am glad I did. The veggies were roasted with balsamic and brown sugar giving it a great sweet and sour taste. Using parchment paper on my sheet tray makes for easy clean up. Soon I am going to do a post on how to keep your parchment paper from sliding all over your sheet tray so stay tuned. The pork chops were 1″ thick bone in and that is where so much of the flavor comes from. The pork chops and rosemary were braised on the stovetop to complete the dice roll.

One of the best parts of this meal was how easy both recipes were to prepare. Roasted veggies were just cut up and cooked on 1 sheet tray. The pork chops were braised in a skillet on the stove. It doesn’t get an easier than that. Grab the recipes and go make your taste buds happy!
