My life as of late...(with pictures)

Has involved alot of challenges. Getting back into school is becoming difficult and it's only week 2. All of my "free time" has become homework time. I'm picking up longer hours at work to make up for time when I'm in school. My life just went from 30 to 120 in 5 days. To say I'm exhausted is like telling a child in Ethiopia that they look hungry. I've spent the last 2 days in the ER with Mr. P and they can find NOTHING wrong with him, but he's still "sick".

I've done a few meals and desserts, but only took a few pictures. We've taken to eating quickly and not caring what it is. Mostly me, I hate cooking for one.

Mushroom Pork Chops with Stuffing

Hope ya'll are having a fun week! I do still check my email when I get time, so feel free to send me a quick note. I do get breaks at school :)

Easy Yummy Mushroom Pork Chops!

I make this recipe at least once per week and Mr. P loves it. Sometimes I'm known to throw it all in the crockpot, set it on low and let it cook! I made this in the oven yesterday while my kitchen was being put back together  (i.e. I got to sit on the couch and watch house hunters while the boys did all the heavy lifting). I came across the recipe online over a year ago and tweaked it to meet mine and Mr. P's tastes and lifestyle. Sometimes I make stuffing to top it with, other times the gravy itself is delicioso. So here is my guestimated recipe. Enjoy!

Gather ingredients, you will need:

2 pork chops (there is enough gravy for 4)

1 can mushroom soup (condensed, I used golden mushroom last night)

1/2 c. milk

salt & pepper to taste

Extra mushrooms (fresh or canned), optional

Stuffing, optional

Preheat oven to 350-375 degrees (depends on oven). Season pork chops to taste with salt & pepper. In bowl, combine mushroom soup and milk, whisk together. Add additional mushrooms if desired.  

Place pork chops on bottom of dish, pour mushroom mixture over pork chops. 

Bake for 1 hour, or until internal temperature of pork chops reaches 155 degrees F. If you would like to add the stuffing, prepare as directed on box and top pork chops when plating. Simple and scrumptious!

I made pepper jack mac & cheese. It didn't turn out exact because I tend to read the recipe as I go and oops! You were supposed to divide the cheese and I just added it all at the same time. Still turned out yummy!
