Spiced Pork Chops, Squash and Apples

"My friend gave me this simple recipe when I was expecting our first baby. It's a gret fall/winter meal. We also use it for OAMC/freezer meals and it works great (freeze meat/veggies separate from sauce and combine when thawed). Also try with 2 1/4 lbs turkey thighs (skin removed)instead of pork."

  1. This was okay, not bad. It was definitely easy to prepare, and I am glad I doubled the recipe to stash on in the freezer. However when I am ready to cook that one, I will be adding some more maple syrup and spices to the pork chop side of the pan. Everyone thought the apples were fantastic, the squash great if you like squash (and good if you don't), but the pork chops were bland for us.
     
  2. This recipe was very easy to prepare. I doubled the recipe and made one a freezer meal. I am glad I did because it is delicious! Even my kids liked the squash and apples.

<p>I'm currently a stay at home mom to two boys (7 and 5). Most of the time I feel like this is more challenging than my old job as an IT analyst! My husband is super, and is supportive of anything I do - currently addicted to zaar! We've been married 9 years, both our second time around). <br /> <br />I love scrapbooking, cloth diapering, organizing, getting things for really good deals, and spending time with my family. We're in the process of going green and having lots of fun doing it. I have an Etsy store: www.winkydinks.etsy.com<br /> <br />My rating system: <br />5 stars - outstanding. Save this one for company or make it very often for ourselves. <br />4 stars - very good. Something we would definitely make again (and again). <br />3 stars - was good. Tastes may not have suited us but was a good recipe. May or may not try it again. <br />2 stars - was ok. Probably would not make again. <br />1 star - didn't turn out, would not make again. <br /> <br /><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v726/annacia/pt-shutterbug-banner-1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><img src=http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj81/HokiesLady65/Recipezaar%20Album/iplaytagin.jpg alt= /></p>
