Eat, Read, and Be Mommy

I confess, I’ve been on a new recipe kick of late; I think it’s a reaction to all of the “too much craziness, we’ll just order something or have breakfast for dinner” that happened over the holidays. (Also a reaction to my holiday over-indulgences–I’ve been using Fix-It and Forget-It Lightly quite a bit.) My kids are getting tired of our more frequent leftover nights, but when you cook more often, there’s more food to be consumed, right? Anyway. One standout recipe was this Pork Chops and Hash Brown Casserole from Six Sisters’ Stuff. (I have no idea if the name of a blog should be in quotes, italics, or what, and so I just left it alone. It’s past 9, which means I don’t care enough to research it.) It was TASTY, and not actually as decadent as you might think. I used my homemade cream of celery soup substitute, because I like it better, and plain yogurt instead of sour cream, since it was baking; the meat took a bit longer to cook than anticipated, but getting the hash browns out of the freezer a bit early would fix that. All in all, we enjoyed this quite a bit, and it will definitely be happening again. The next time you find pork chops on sale, give this one a try!
