Today's Menu: Apple Pork Chops w/ Asparagus and Whole Grain Bread
Got this one off the Mrs. Dash web site, which is full of great healthy recipes. I added 2 tablespoons of Apple Juice to keep the Chops moist. Fried up in Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Great recipe low calorie, low carb, and low sodium! The recipe is at the bottom of the post. As sides had Asparagus and Healthy Life Sliced Whole Grain Bread. Used fresh Asparagus and cut the stalks into three pieces. Lightly fried in Extra Virgin Olive Oil and I Can't Believe It's Not Butter and added sliced Almonds and Crumbled Turkey Bacon, too good! For dessert later Breyer's Carb Smart Ice Cream and Del Monte Sugarless Sliced Peaches. And most important "Happy Mother's Day Mom" and to all the Moms out there!
