"I got this out of a yahoo article supposed to be like only 300 calories. I want to try it, and figured this is the perfect place to put it for safe keeping. Also try the honey mustard dipping sauce"

This recipe had mixed reviews in my household. My husband and I liked it, but 2 of my kids didn't. The almonds gave this pork dish a unique flavor, one I had never had before. I used boneless pork chops instead of tenderloin. I might tweak this recipe a bit when I make it again. I think some melted butter drizzled over the pork before baking would add a good flavor. Made for Pick A Chef, Spring 2011.
