Baked Pork Chops

I had some pork chops defrosted. The really thick, boneless kind. I didn't want to fry them or use my electric grill. I was busy sewing and wanted something I could whip up and walk away from.  This is what I ended up doing and boy was it scrumpious!

What you need:
4-6 boneless pork loin chops
1 can mushroom soup
3/4 soup can of water
thyme
basil
salt
pepper
crushed, dried garlic
dried, minced onion
bread crumbs

Pre-heat oven to 350*
1. Mix in a bowl all except pork chops & bread crumbs.  I didn't bother measuring the spices, sorry. I used just a pinch of basil, thyme and garlic. Three shakes of the onion and a shake or two of salt & pepper.
2.  Pour half  mixture in bottom of 9X13 baking dish.
3.  Dampen pork chops and coat with bread crumbs, set on top of soup mixture.
4.  Pour remaining soup mixture on top of chops
Cover with foil and bake 50-60 minutes

I had a can of sliced, new potatoes in the cabinet.  Dumped them in a pan with a glob of butter and a couple shakes of onion, salt & pepper and fried them bad boys up.

Cinnamon Crescent Rolls

I had a hankering for something sweet tonight.  I've had a craving for cinnamon rolls for days now, but I didn't want to go through all the mess of making the dough.  Then I remembered seeing  them made with crescent rolls on Pinterest so I went searching and found a quick and easy version by The Hungry Housewife. Oh My Heaven! They melt in your mouth!

What you need:

1 tube (8 count) crescent rolls, unrolled & separated.

Filling
5 T. butter, softened.
1/4 C. granulate sugar
2 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Glaze
2 T butter, melted
1/4 C. powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

A little filling will ooze out, that's okay!

• Preheat oven to 375*  F.
• Place the unrolled and separated crescent rolls on an un-greased rimmed cookie sheet with sides.

• In a small bowl, mix together the filling ingredients.

• Evenly spread the cinnamon butter over crescent rolls and roll up tightly. 
• Place tip side down on cookie sheet
• Bake 10-12 minutes

• In a small bowl, mix together glaze ingredients until smooth.
• Place in small ziplock/sandwich bag and snip a tiny corner off.
• Drizzle glaze over warm cinnamon rolls.

I let my 4 1/2 year old help with the rolling and mixing the glaze.  Then she washed all the dishes we used!  She excited to try one at breakfast tomorrow.

Creamy Italian Chicken (crock pot)

4 year old didn't eat much of it. Can't blame her though, it's beautiful outside and she'd rather be outside playing.  Hubby and I really liked it though!

What you need:

2-4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
8 oz soft cream cheese (1 cup)
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 packet Italian dressing seasoning.

-Place chicken in crock pot.
- Mix cream cheese, soup and seasoning together. Pour over chicken.

Cook on high 4-6 hours.
Serve over rice or noodles.  (We like this one over egg noodles.)


This is a great freezer meal.  I dump everything into a gallon size freezer bag and toss it in the freezer.  Just pull it out the night before to thaw in the fridge.  Hubby can handle emptying the bag into the crock pot and turning on when he gets home from work, so all I have to do is boil noodles when I get home and voila! A really tasty and filling dinner!
