Fifty-Two Dinners

One new recipe a week for a year. That was the original goal set as a New Year's resolution way back in 2009.

It didn't happen. Nor did it happen in the following years.

But I have continued posting and striving to try one new recipe a week. Some months it happens. Some months it doesn't.

And along the way I've picked up readers from across the country who occasionally pop in to see what's cooking.

Clearly there are better food blogs than mine.

But if you're looking for quick, easy, and healthy with a dash of humor... I'm glad to share what I can.

Famous Pork Chops

Pork. You know it's good for you. And it IS "the other white meat." It just doesn't taste as good. Sigh. Here's another attempt to make these chewy, tasteless things palatable.

Judging by this recipe's name, I expect this pork recipe to be a keeper.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup crushed butter crackers
  • garlic salt to taste
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 4 pork chops
  • 1/2 cup butter

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. In a shallow bowl combine crushed crackers, garlic salt and pepper; mix well. In a separate bowl beat eggs.
  3. Dip your pork chops in the egg batter and then in the cracker mixture. Place the pork chops in a casserole dish. Place chunks of the butter around the pork chops. Cover and bake for 45 minutes.
VERDICT

45 minutes? WAY too long. They were pretty chewy. And the crunch was nice, but still no overpowering taste. It's a pretty decent recipe as pork chops go... but I'll continue to keep looking anyway.
