Lemon Rosemary Pork Medallions - a test with the other white meat!

Once again I was in need of a new recipe and I turned to Williams Sonoma Cooking at Home for inspiration.  I wanted to do something different so I went for a recipe using the other white meat - PORK!  While there were a couple of recipes that looked interesting, I decided to make the pork medallions with lemon and rosemary.

The Ingredients

Chili Fit for the Super Bowl

Nick and I finally broke down and bought a dutch oven, which I can safely say was one of our best investments.  I am even saying this only after cooking with it once!  The big question that remained was what to christen the new 9-quart Le Creuset with?

Since Sunday was the Super Bowl, there was really only one thing to make - chili!  Not having a go-to recipe, Nick turned to the Food Network website and found a recipe by the Neely's.  Typically, I find them to be completely annoying, but they've sort of started to grow on me.  Their food, however, has always looked fantastic, so when Nick found their recipe I was sold - that, and it had beef, pork AND bacon.
