I'm feeling a little better than I felt yesterday. Jacob and I walked into town, picked up a paper and the mail. It was nice to get out. I think we'll be taking walks more often.

Anyone have a good, simple boneless pork chop recipe?

Don't tell Steve, but I think you two would make adorable babies!

Oh, they'll rival Jacob's cuteness, that's for sure :)

LOL! Inara is like that for her changes too. She loves her mobile and looking at the beads I hung off her curtains.

Orange Glazed Pork Chops:
4 pork chops, 3/4 inch thick
1 tbsp Olive Oil
salt and pepper
1/2 cup orange juice
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp orange marmalade
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

In a large heavy skillet, brown pork chops on both sides in hot oil. Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Drain off excess fat. In a bowl, combine orange juice, brown sugar, marmalade, and vinegar. Pour over the pork chops. Cover and simmer on low heat for 35-45 minutes, or until pork chops are tender and glazed. Remove pork chops to a warm platter. Spoon sauce over chops. Serve with rice or potatoes.

Very yummy, and I'm not a huge pork fan! Hmmm... in fact I think I'll make these tonight!

The hardest part will be timing it so that Jacob is occupied while you brown the chops!

Sometimes he just babbles and babbles and babbles. I almost feel bad picking him up!

That recipe looks delicious. I'm glad I have a few options now!

I make this one all the time, it's totally easy and looks fancy once you spoon the sauce over it. It's actually a weight watchers recipe so it's also healthy but men seem to like it.

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Cooking Spray
1/2 c. chopped red onion
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt divided
4 boneless pork chops
1/3 cup seedless raspberry preserves (I use sugar free jelly)
2 TB balsamic vinegar
1/4 t pepper

Heat oil in nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat till hot. Add onion; sauté 5 minutes. Combine thyme and 1/4 teaspoon salt; sprinkle over pork. Add pork to skillet; sauté 6 minutes on each side or until done. Remove pork from skillet; keep warm (it takes no time at all to make the sauce, you really don't need to worry about keeping the pork warm). Reduce heat to medium-low. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt, preserves, vinegar, and pepper, stirring constantly until the preserves melt. Spoon sauce over pork. Makes 4 servings.

Oooohh, that looks very yummy. Anything with balsamic vinegar has to be stellar!

On the first video, in the last four seconds, he makes the sad face lip quiver thing that breaks my heart!

Easy boneless pork chop recipe: Throw chops in casserole dish, dump creme of mushroom soup on top, put in oven at about 375, until pork is thoroughly cooked (about 40 minutes). Add side dishes.

The lip quiver gets me every time!

That's a very easy recipe. Thanks!!
