New Year's Nachos
Ingredients: boneless center cut pork chop, canned sauerkraut, Gala & Granny Smith apples, Garden of Eatin Restaurant Style White Corn Tortilla Chips, one bottle of Lion's Head beer, mozzarella cheese, and scallions
Price: Just a couple bucks per serving. I think. I can post the receipt if you like.
For as long as I can remember I have eaten pork & sauerkraut on New Year's Day. It is one of the sacred traditions my mother has never missed - ever - while I was growing up. It is a tradition I don't mind undertaking now that I am a man (of sorts).

Five hours later I was bringing in the New Year with my family. I may have received questionable glances at first, but soon almost enough everyone wanted a taste.

Even though the color was a bit bland and monotone the flavor was just fantastic. The apples reduced the sourness of the kraut, the pork was tender, tasty and had a tiny hint of beer, and the chips were my alternate edible silverware (think of the environment). The mozzarella cheese stitched it all together like Frankenstein's monster and I was a madman content with his creation.
A simple and delicious way to welcome in 2015. I wonder if I can convince my wife of another new tradition I've been thinking about - nachos in bed on the weekend.
On a side note: eating mashed potatoes with tortilla chips is my new thing.
Happy New Year everyone!
