This was an excellent recipe, made just as described. Next time I may try using pork tenderloin to make it even more tender, and perhaps add a soft cheese such as fontina in the middle- I love cheese in everything :-) Thanks Connie for a different slant on the lowly pork chop. Didn't need the toothpicks- it held together very well on it's own.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a mother of 5, grandmother of 2. I have been cooking for 45 years and it is still my passion. I am married to a chef. My oldest son is also a chef. All my kids are major foodies. We really enjoy getting together for family holidays etc. And it is always all about the food and love & laughter.
The baby in the icon is my 4 year old grandson, Oliver. The pic is me on my 59th b'day, my husband gave me those gorgeous pearls and we had a great evening.
I also must mention the other lover in my life the very hairy, extemely beautiful, totally black cat named Spike; actually he is afraid of his own shadow so we gave him a tough guy name.
One of my sons was a soldier in the Canadian military. I pray for all of our children who so bravely defend our way of life.
I try to do something kind everyday. It really is nice to be nice. I detest pettiness, two faced people and dishonesty. I try to treat everyone I touch with the same respect I would like. Also I try not to sweat the small stuff. This is pretty much my survival philosophy.
