Millet Risotto with Butternut Squash, Goat Cheese & Leeks

So, hey, here's something fun to do with millet! It's kind of like risotto (except, not really), but it is creamy and delicious. And, you don't have to stir it continuously like real risotto.

Monster Pork Chops, Yo!

Sometimes a person just wants a big hunk of meat, preferable still attached to a bone. Grrrrr! This is a recipe for one of those times. I really liked the sauce, as it had a very nice, fresh flavor and not too much heat. If you want more spiciness though, you can add more jalapeno …
