Dinner Tonight:  Breaded Pork Chops w/ Mashed Potatoes and Pork Gravy, Green Beans, and Whole Grain Bread







 Flowers are coming up and the buds on the trees are coming out. We've been getting a good mix of sun and

rain showers and it shows outside as everything is getting Spring like! For dinner tonight I prepared Breaded Pork Chops w/ Mashed Potatoes and Pork Gravy, Green Beans, and Whole Grain Bread.
 

The Breaded Pork Chops came from an issue of  Taste of Home/ Simple and Delicious. I love the Taste of Home various magazines. Their always full of great ideas and recipes. To make the Breaded Chops I’ll need 1/4 cup Egg Beater‘s, 1/4 cup 2% milk, 1/2 cup crushed low fat saltines crackers, 2 boneless pork loin chops (1-inch thick and 4 ounces each), and 1 tablespoon Canola Oil. Then to prepare them is quite easy; in a shallow bowl, combine Egg Beater’s and milk. Place cracker crumbs in another shallow bowl. Dip each pork chop in egg mixture, then coat with cracker crumbs, patting to make a thick coating. In a large skillet, cook chops in oil for 4-5 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 145°. Let meat stand for 5 minutes before serving. The Chops came out moist and delicious and the saltines made a great crust for the Chops. I’ve left the original recipe, which makes 6 Chops, and the link to the Taste of Home website at the end of the post.




To go with the Chops I prepared some Bob Evans Mashed Potatoes, Just heat in the microwave for a total of 6 minutes and you have some of the best Mashed Potatoes there are. Served it with Heinz Brown Pork Gravy. I also heated up a can of Del Monte Low Sodium Cut Green Beans and had a couple of slices of Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. For dessert later a Jello Sugarless Double Chocolate pudding.
