This quick and easy pork recipe can be made in only 15 minutes. Not only is it simple, it is also delicious!
Martha Stewart’s 15 minute Sauteed Pork Cutlets
INGREDIENTS
8 pork cutlets (3 ounces each)
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 to 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (you can also use grape seed oil which is my oil of choice.)
Juice of 1 lemon, plus lemon wedges for serving
2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese, plus Parmesan curls shaved with a vegetable peeler for garnish (about 1 ounce total)
Fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish Grainy mustard, for serving
DIRECTIONS
Place pork cutlets between two sheets of parchment paper; using a meat mallet or a small, heavy skillet, pound to 1/8 inch thick. Season both sides of pork with salt and pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Working in two batches, add pork to pan, and cook, flipping once, until golden brown, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. (If pan becomes dry, add more oil.) Transfer to a platter .
Drizzle lemon juice over pork, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan. Garnish with Parmesan curls and parsley. Serve with lemon wedges and mustard.
This weeks tip is short and sweet! When storing your makeup remover wipes keep them upside down instead of right side up. This simple change in direction will help to prevent the wipes at the top from drying out while the ones at the bottom remain extra wet and saturated.
The number one excuse that people give for not being able to workout is that they don’t have enough time! Here is a quick 15 minute workout that doesn’t take up a lot of time or need a lot of space. I love Jessica Smith, she is so encouraging! You will definitely feel the burn after doing this quick workout!
Take 15 minutes and improve your day, your heath and wellness is worth it! Remember to keep good proper form and warm up before and stretch after you exercise!

Do you ever ask yourself the question “Am I enough?”
Am I good enough? Am I doing enough? Am I happy enough? Is my house clean enough? Am I beautiful enough? Smart enough? Skinny enough?… The list can go on and on.
Quite often I give myself a hard time. I expect near perfection from myself and get upset when I don’t reach it. I need to remind myself that all I can do is my best and if I am doing my best I am enough!
When I fail, I am still loved. I am not perfect, but I am still precious.
I love a good makeup and I love a good deal on makeup!
The best part of getting makeup at the drugstore is you can get good makeup for a good deal. When you add in coupons and sales, you can get quit a great makeup collection without having to spending all your money.

I love to workout with weights! I like to use 8lb weights, but 3lbs or 5 lbs is great as well! You can always push the up button by increasing the weight.
Start with one set of each move. As you get stronger,try to do the a circuit two or three times. After six weeks you can expect to see improvements in strength, muscle tone, and endurance. You will be shocked at just how strong you are!
As always…No excuses! Just do it!

I have decided to take a look back at what I have received in my Glam Bags and see what I love and what I have hated! I think overall I have received a lot of great products!
In June 2015 I got my very first Glam Bag! I am not going to lie, I was sooooo excited! the tre’StiQue Mini Shadow Crayon in Kona Coffee is a favorite!
I don’t love liquid lipsticks, but the JCat Beauty had a nice cooling feel and peppermint scent that I do like.
July 2015was a great month for my Glam Bag 4 out of 5 items were great with 3 being favorites!
Jelly Pong Pong Cosmetics 2-in-1 Shadow/Liner
tarte deluxe Amazonian clay waterproof bronzer
Eau Thermale Avène Cleanance Gel Soapless Cleanser
August 2015
I loved the Briogeo Blossom & Bloom Ginseng + Biotin Volumizer
I love the hounds tooth bag for the August is one of my favorite bags out of all the ones I received these last 12 months.
September 2015
Not Soap, Radio Revitalizing Hand/Body Lotion in the scent persimmon + plum (smells quite delightful) Favorite! tre’StiQue Mini Matte Lip Crayon Hate it! Unfortunately, the color is absolutely horrendous on my lips!
I also did not like the golden bag from this month.
This was the month that I didn’t get the things in my bags that I was showed in my preview. Once the mix up was cleared up, I also received a blush from Model Co that I use very often and love, it is a favorite.
October 2015 The gold bag for this month was very small. Not much can be put into this bag. I gave it to my daughter and she loves it, so I guess it turned into a winner even though I didn’t like it. Nourish Organic Pure Hydrating Argan Face Serum Favorite AURORA Gel Effect Nail Polish in Inky Dinky…While it is a perfect fall dark purple shade, this one is went into my give away pile. I get my toes done at the salon and never paint my finger nails at home. As I have mentioned before, I HATE getting nail polish samples, yet seem to get them almost every month, grrrrrr
November 2016 While the actual “Out of this world” bag is ugly so it is a Hate It, the products I got in it were overall awesome!
Be A Bombshell Cosmetics Mechanical Eye Liner This did not swatch too well, but I have to say that since I have been using it I have really enjoyed it. I got the color wild child which is kind of like an off black. I really like that it is a mechanical liner. I feel as if so much product gets wasted with the types that need to be sharpened. I have actually used up this entire product. Favorite!
LATHER honey moisture mask with propolis extract Favorite! I LOVE this mask! It has a great feel and my skin has been loving the extra moisture! I also love the honey scent! This is my favorite thing that I got in my glam bag this month.
January 2016 skyn ICELAND Travel Size Glacial Cleansing ClothsInfused with Icelandic glacial waters and beneficial natural extracts, they sweep away makeup, dirt, oil and other impurities while refreshing and soothing stressed skin. I really like these cloths.
theBalm Cosmetics Mr. Write (Now) Jack B. Bronze (rich bronze) Overall I like the brand the Balm. This eyeliner is no exception. I only wish that I had gotten the other color Scott B. Bordeaux (deep purple), but this is still a great eyeliner. I prefer these twist up liners over the type that need to be sharpened. I have worn this to work a few times already and it has lasted throughout the entire day well without any smudging or budging.
February 2016
I didn’t like anything in this months bag. The envelop design bag itself though was super cute and a Favorite!
March 2016
I love the bag that they sent. It is definitely a favorite! Otherwise, I was not overly impressed with the samples in March’s bag.
April 2016
For the first time ever I love everything that came in my ipsy bag.
May 2016 I really like this month’s bag. It has a cute pattern and feel to it. I also like that it has a different type of closure than the usual zipper.
INSPR Beauty Eye Fluff Brush Favorite Smashbox Cosmetics X-Rated Mascara Favorite
