I had been craving pork chops and hadn't had them in awhile. I like to get the boneless pork loins and have them sliced into chops. I can usually catch them on sale for a little under $2 a pound so that's when I get them. This time I thought I'd bake them but wanted to do something that wouldn't dry them out since they are on the leaner side. I decided to do these Pork Chops in Mushroom Gravy and they were so yummy! Pork Chops in Mushroom Gravy 8 boneless pork loin chops (mine ere 1/2" thick) 1 can of healthy request cream of mushroom soup 1/2 packet of onion soup mix 1/2 cup of reduced fat sour cream 1/2 cup of milk Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, combine soup, onion soup mix, sour cream and milk together. In a baking dish, arrange pork chops in a single layer. Pour soup mixture on top of the chops and spread around coating each one. Cover and bake for about 1 hour or so. I went a little over an hour. They were tender and yummy! I served...

Sorry I've been absent a bit. Things have been hectic here and haven't had a chance to try any new recipes to post. However, I finally got to make these so I'm posting it for you here. These are so yummy! I got the recipe from a lady named Jessica on the Cooking For Your Family board. The only thing I change is that I use a bit more mushrooms and green chilies instead of green pepper. You can use different cheeses. I used colby and monterey jack this time. I think my oven temp was a bit off because my enchiladas weren't as dry as when I had made them before. Just make sure that most of the sauce it absorbed and the tops appear dry. This is so good! Pan-Roasted Mushroom & Pepper Pork Enchiladas: Ingredients: 1 lb pork tenderloin (boneless) 1 green bell pepper, finely diced 1/2 tin presliced/prewashed mushrooms 1 small (or 1/2 med) Vidalia onion, finely diced 6-8 ounces fat free cream cheese 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or favorite melting cheese) vegetable oil ...

When I made the pork fried won tons , I had bought a whole pork loin because they were on sale for $1.49 a pound. I put two meals of chops in the freezer. Then used one pound and had them grind it for the won tons. Then I roasted the rest in the crockpot. We had it for dinner that night and then ate it for lunch a couple of times. Then one night for dinner, my husband wanted quesadillas. Now my husband is the king of picky with our youngest son coming in right behind him. So he just had chicken and cheese on his. Our 6 year old had his that way too. But my daughter and I decided to do something different. Why not use pork? Pork and sauteed onion quesadillas leftover pork (I used probably 1/2 a cup or so, shredded or chunked one vidalia onion, quartered and sliced 1 tsp cumin 1 tsp fajita seasoning (I use McCormick) colby and monterey jack shredded cheese 4 tortillas butter Start heating pan over medium heat. Add about a tablespoon or two of butter in the pan. I always try to use as lit...

One of our favorite meals at Disney World last year was 'Ohana. It was at the Polynesian Resort and it was very yummy. We had a wonderful seat right next to the window that night and had a great view of the nightly fireworks. It was really awesome. So we decided to recreate that meal at home. First up we have Terryaki Chicken and steak tips. Now at 'Ohana, they serve everything off these skewers and everything is grilled but we don't have a grill right now. I cooked the chicken in the oven with bottled marinade on it. They don't have terryiaki chicken but I thought since we weren't grilling it would add additional flavor. For the steak tips, I put a little oil in the pan and dry the tips, then flip them over. I let them cook for a bit and then I add about a cup of beef stock and let them simmer until the liquid has evaporated. I used eye of round because it was on sale and it turned out very tender! Next up is the Pork Fried Wontons. They were so yummy! It was my fi...
