Pork Loin Chops, With Mushroom Gravy, and Green Beans
"I threw this dinner together one night with items that I had on hand. It turned out to be a lovely dinner that was appreciated by all. Herbes De Provence is a wonderful spice that can liven up chicken, salad, potatoes, and veggies. It is a staple in my kitchen, and an important ingredient in this recipe, to really liven up the green beans. Please note that, even though this recipe normally serves two, you could easily throw in four pork loin chops. Please enjoy!"

Oh so yummy! I didn't use fresh mushrooms(only had canned) and I also added a bit more salt. Mmmm.... -
I actually only did the pork chop part of this recipe. The spices were a little too strong for my tastes but okay with DH. The gravy was delish. I felt that the 20 minutes simmer time was too long and toughened the chops. Next time I would only simmer about 10 minutes and I think they would be perfect. Thanks for sharing. Tweeky

2007 I thought that I would edit my home page...its been over two years, so I its time to update! I have lived in beautiful New Mexico for the last few years (Albuquerque), after 20 years of living on the West Coast (San Francisco and Seattle). I love many things about New Mexico - the perfect weather, in particular; the sunsets; the open land; and the great Southwest food - but also sometimes miss the energy of bigger cities. I am a mental health therapist, who loves my work! I love to cook (a passion that I discovered after getting married). Rather than cooking a few favorites on a regular basis, I prefer to collect recipes (primarily from the Internet), and try new things often (in fact, my husband jokes that he will try a new dish that he loves and then never see it again :-)). I also love to read, write, travel, work on personal growth, and study/learn. I am a total water baby, who lives in the desert, so I love traveling to tropical locations, where I especially love to snorkle and boggie board! I am very happily married to my best friend, soulmate, partner, and greatest cheerleader and supporter, and we have three grown children, and four grandchildren (so far :-))I am a total foodie (I "live to eat" instead of "eat to live.") :-) I love everything about food...cooking; the delicious scents of a yummy dish, as it cooks; the beautiful presentation of wonderful food; dining out; dining in; the taste of great food; sitting around the table, with friends and family, eating, talking and laughing; nurturing those I love by cooking for them...all of the senusal pleasures that food brings! My favorite Internet site for yummy recipes is this one - and I almost always choose recipes with five-star ratings, so please keep on reviewing! :-)
