Pork Chops for Dinner

Tonight I decided to cook Pork Chops, Mashed Potatoes, Asparagus and French Bread. It was really good! Chase gave it an A+!

First I pealed and cut 5 Yukon Gold potatoes and placed then in a 2 1/2 quart pot. (Actually Chase did this for me because I cut myself on the first potato. Oops!) I covered the potatoes with water and then brought the water to a boil(FYI...don't boil water first-> add potatoes then boil). Cook them until they are soft and fall off of a fork. Strain and place in a bowl or back in the pot. I added maybe 5 Tbsp butter. Yum! I also add a splash of milk, salt and pepper. Mix and Mash until you're happy with the consistency.

Next, I washed and cut the ends off the asparagus and placed them in a pan lined with aluminum foil (the aluminum foil makes clean up a breeze). This time I sprinkled the asparagus with olive oil and some Vegetable Magic by Chef Paul Prudhomme's MAGIC Seasoning Blends. We bought it at Publix. Chef Paul has a few different kinds and they are all really good.
I placed them in a 400 degree oven for about 20 minutes. (Next time I'm going to add some seasalt as well).

Publix had there pork chops on sale today. They looked really good and we hadn't had them in a long time. I cooked them in our Caphalon Grill pan instead of out on the grill since it had been raining all day. I covered them with a seasoning that I got from my mother-in-law. I'm not sure where she got it from but it's really good. It's called Roasted Garlic & Black Pepper. Also I spread a little olive oil on both sides before placing them in the pan. I cooked them for 4 minutes on the first side and 3-4 minutes on the reverse side and they were done. Quick and Easy!

Aren't they pretty! Wow and they were REALLY good!!!

I bought a long loaf of fresh French bread from the Publix bakery. This bread is our new favorite side to our dinners. I cut off pieces, spread some butter on both sides and baked them in the oven for just a few minutes until the sides were crispy. YUMMY!!

Like I said before, Chase gave this meal an A+!! I would recommend giving it a shot. There are lots of great seasoning combination's to try on pork chops that are great. So don't opt out on this one just because I couldn't give you the exact name of the seasoning I used.

Give it a shot and if you have question, PLEASE let me know!!!
