Pork Chops with Onion Gravy

I love dinners like this because you can start making them and have dinner on the table in about 30 minutes.   I definitely need more of these as the month goes on.   There seems to be less and less time in the day to fit everything in. Verdict: Even my little onion haters liked this…

Bruschetta Burgers

This was another night where dinner needed to be on the table rather quickly and all I had in the refrigerator for meat was thawed ground beef.  My children know I do not make plain old hamburgers so I had to think quickly. I found one tomato, some mozzarella, spices and left over mini sub…

Slow Cooker Sweet and Savory Boneless Pork Chops Meal
