"Favorite" Pork Chops

When I ask my brother what he would like for supper, he always replies one of two things...crab legs or "favorite" pork chops with the lemons! My family absolutely loves these chops, my husband on the other hand....not so much! I'm going to share the recipe anyway, I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!


Lemon ChopsPork Chops
Onion - slices
Lemon - slices
Ketchup
Mustard
Brown Sugar
Worcestershire sauce

Lay desired number of pork chops in a baking dish. Add a little water to the pan similiar to the amount used in a roast...just a very shallow amount. Next layer one solid slice of an onion then a slice of lemon on top of each chop. Top with a homemade sauce made of mainly ketchup, squirt of mustard, a few drops of Worcestershire sauce, and enough brown sugar to sweeten the mixture. (This sauce is similiar to what I use to make bbq's.)

Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes or until chops are done!

*Note: We actually eat the lemon and onion with the chop, they are super yummy!

Enjoy!

Happy-Hoppy Easter!


Happy Easter


We hosted our very first holiday- Easter this past Sunday. The host(s) gennerally take care of the main course of the meal and our guests bring dishes to pass. Our menu was: baked ham, scalloped potatoes, green beans, lettuce/apple salad, veggie tray, cupcakes galore, deviled eggs, easter candy etc.

I whipped up two different flavors of cupcakes chocolate and vanilla. Each decorated as an easter basket or a bunny.




We had one "hunter" and a good hunter he was! Grady who is 19 months old absolutely loved hunting for eggs! Here are a few pictures of him in action. *It was so windy out, we had our hunt in the house.



Grady is our Godson so we gave him a special gift: Johnny Tractor place setting with a talking Scooby-Doo card. He absolutely love it!

 
I hope you all had a wonderful Easter, and that you all remembered the reason for the season.
