Stuffed Pork Chops!

I'm not a big meat fan but my sweet hubby loves his steaks,pork chops, and everything else. So I thought I'd give pork chops a try...and I am so glad I did! They were so good I actually would eat them again!

So here it is!
Stuffed Pork Chops:
1 tsp butter
4 pieces of potato bread (you could use whatever bread you like but this was amazing!)
1/2 tsp of chopped basil
3 sticks of celery diced
2 c of chicken broth
6 pork chops (boneless works best)

Start by putting the butter and celery in a large skillet on high. You'll sauté this until the celery starts to be transparent. Once it's ready you'll put the chicken broth in and let it simmer until it's reduced by half. While you're waiting on that you'll want to toast your bread and chop it into 1/4 inch pieces. When the broth mixture has reduced, toss the breadcrumbs and basil in and turn off the heat.Now for the pork chops. This mixture made enough for about 6-7 pork chops. Spoon about a tbsp of stuffing on each pork chop and fold it over. Stick them in the oven on 325 for an hour and voila! I served them with popovers and they were gone in about 30 minutes!
As an added bonus, the stuffing was perfect for the princess. She loves it and it's healthy so..I am definitely serving this one up happily :)

Christmas Time is Near!

The stockings are hung,the stuffers are made and ready to go. The tree is up and presents are all under it..I'm so excited!
Baby girl's stocking is going to be filled with a few little teething toys and musical toys for her,then we got her two little books,a pair of leggings,a few little bows I made her and then I made her some yummy apple cinnamon cookies. These were super easy to make and taste pretty great. I found the recipe on familyfeedbag.com and made a few tweaks to make it work better for us.
Apple Cinnamon Cookies
Makes 12-24
9 tbsp apple sauce
1 egg
2 tbsp canola oil
1 3/4 c flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
I preheated the oven at 375 and mixed up the eggs,canola oil, and egg in a large mixing bowl. Then I mixed all of the dry ingredients in a smaller mixing bowl. The princess of course helped with the mixing :) We slowly added the dry ingredients to the larger mixing bowl and formed a ball. Then I rolled it out in a greased pan and stuck it into the oven for 15 minutes.
When they were done I cut them into rectangles. They turned out kind of like a soft biscotti for teething. They're good for 3 days sealed or you can stick them in the freezer. Whenever I pull one out I usually pour a bit of cinnamon on top and microwave it for 10 seconds. She loves them and I have a healthy alternative for a stocking stuffer!
