Crunchy honey garlic pork chops or chicken

Crunchy honey garlic pork chops:
And you can use chicken

Ingredients:
6-9 pork chops (not too thick, you can use boneless pork loin)
2 eggs
4 Tbs water
2 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. garlic powder
Canola or vegetable oil for frying chops

Glaze:
1 1/2 cups honey
1/2 cup brown sugar (I added this)
1/2 tsp. ginger
dash of cayenne pepper (to your taste)
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 Tbs chopped garlic
2 Tbs butter

Whisk the eggs and 4 Tbs. water together in a shallow dish.

Mix the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in another shallow dish.
Dip the chops in the flour, then over into the egg.

Then back over into the flour mixture once again. This is what puts the extra crispy coating on the chops. Be sure to get plenty of flour on in this last coating, then shake them a little and place in a pan with about a half inch of oil. Be sure the oil is hot, but not too hot or the chops will cook too fast. You need to get it good and hot and then turn to about medium.

Cook for about 6 minutes on each side. Try not to turn more than twice or your breading will come off.
Remove from the pan to a 9"x13" baking dish.

Saute the garlic a little in the butter.

Add the honey, soy sauce, brown sugar, cayenne, and ginger. Bring to a boil then reduce to low and simmer for about 5 minutes. Watch this carefully because it will foam and might boil over.

Pour 1/2 of the glaze over the pork chops. Flip them over and pour the other 1/2 over the other side. Place uncovered in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 20-25 minutes. This sets the glaze and finishes them to be sure they are cooked through.

M&M Apple Caramel Cheese Ball

M&M Apple Caramel Cheese Ball

Ingredients

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 tbs vanilla Greek yogurt
• 3/4 cup of finely diced Granny Smith apples
• 1/2 cup of caramel bits
• 1 tbs light brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• About a cup of fall M&Ms for rolling the cheese ball

Instructions

1. Make sure to peel and core the apple before dicing.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, yogurt, apples, caramels, sugar and vanilla. Mix until all evenly combined.
3. Form a cheese ball with your hands (remember to always wash your hands.)
4. Wrap the cheese ball in saran wrap and refrigerate it for about 30 minutes.
5. Roll the cheese ball in the M&M candy before serving. (The longer you will let the cheese ball sit with candy on it, the more colors will bleed. That's why I recommend that you roll it in candy right before serving.)
6. Serve with apples, pretzels or any cracker crisps that are lightly or non-salted.
