2 Great Dinner Recipes

Just had to share these recipes! It has been nice to be home and cooking in my own kitchen again. I've been able to try many new recipes that I've had sitting around for a while. These two were a hit!

Parmesan Pork Chops
(from Taste of Home, I think)

1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp flour
2 tsp Italian Seasoning
2 tsp dried parsley flakes
1/4 tsp pepper
4 boneless pork chops (I didn't use boneless, and it still turned out great!)
2 Tbsp olive oil

In a large plastic bag, combine Parmesan cheese, flour, Italian seasoning, parsley, and pepper. Dip each pork chop in butter; place in bag, one at a time, and shake to coat.

In a large skillet, cook pork in oil over medium heat for 7-8 minutes on each side or until juices run clear.

I loved this recipe! It turns a plain pork chop into something delicious :-)

Ham & Broccoli Casserole

2 cups uncooked macaroni pasta
2 cups cubed ham
3 cups cooked broccoli
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
1/2 can dried onion rings (opt)
Shredded cheddar cheese

Mix uncooked macaroni and ham. Place in 9x13 casserole dish. In another bowl, mix soup, sour cream, and milk. Pour 1/2 of wet mixture on top of ham and macaroni and stir. Arrange broccoli on top. Add rest of wet mixture. Top with cheddar cheese. Cover and bake at 350 for 55 minutes. Take out of oven, place onion rings on top and bake uncovered for 5 minutes.

This is a great way to use left over ham! I didn't use the onion rings for our family since they are not a favorite.

Enjoy!

New Favorite!!

I just tried a cookie recipe from a church friend, and it has now become my absolute favorite cookie to make! It is extremely simple and the biggest plus to me is that I generally always have all the ingredients on hand. It did not require a mixer, so obviously, not lots of clean up involved. And just like all homemade cookies, they made my house smell wonderful :-) So here's the recipe for Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies.

1 Cup Peanut Butter
3/4 Cup Sugar
2 Eggs
1 12-ounce package Chocolate Chips

Stir all ingredients together. Drop by spoonful onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.

That was one of my good things for tonight! Sorry no pictures. I ate them all...I mean I cleaned everything up before I thought of taking a picture.
