Good morning everyone!
It’s a beautiful sunny clear morning here in Utah and we had a fresh dusting of snow last night. It’s so pretty and sparkly in front of our home this morning and it just makes me smile. It’s a nice relaxing morning here. Have my coffee, my blanket over my legs and I’m so content. After the hub-bub of Christmas and New Years, I deserve a relaxing morning, right?
I call it the calm before the storm. Kids are back in school next week, all the folks that were on vacation will flood the roads during commute time and all the other activities start up again. I am even starting a photography class on the 14th to enhance my skills and learn to use all the cool features on my camera. What this all means is weeknights are going to get hectic again and time to make a delicious dinner can get limited. We all want a good meal on the table quick when we’re running crazy.
I have a solution for you right here. I had leftover dried stuffing that had to be used so why not use it as a crunchy coating to baked pork chops?

Easy peasy right? These crunchy baked pork chops whip up in a snap and are moist and delicious. The stuffing coating got super crunchy after baking. Something so simple turned out wonderfully delicious and dinner was on the table before you could say “come and get it.”

June 11, 2018 at 7:13 pmThere is no mention of melted butter in the ingredients list. How much butter do you use?
Lori Hart says
June 18, 2018 at 8:54 pmTwo tablespoons. It’s at the top of the ingredients list. I love the crunch on this. If you like spicy, try adding some Mrs. Dash Jalapeño seasoning to your bread crumb mix. I’ve tried it and it’s a nice twist on the recipe
