I could go on and on about how freaking amazing brown butter is. . . the smell . . . the nutty toffee-like flavor . . . you gotta love it. I’ve attempted these cookies before with no such luck, but then I read a tip about when browning butter you will lose some moisture, which means, you need to add a little moisture back....

I love quick and easy meals that turn out fantastic. It tasted as great as ordering it from a restaurant. The brown sugar glaze over these pork chops gave it such amazing flavor.
