Allrecipes.com – I LOVE IT!

I know I have posted about this site before, but it bears repeating – I just love this site!  Their recipe search by ingredient has saved my bacon (:)) more than once when I needed a recipe for supper, using what I have on hand.

For example:  tomorrow, I want to make something with pork chops and potatoes.  My hubby is a meat and potatoes kinda guy, so that’s what I need to fix.  ;)   So I popped over to Allrecipes.com and did a search for recipes using those ingredients.  How easy is that!!

I also love Quick Cooking Magazine.   I subscribed to this for several years, and let my subscription lapse a year or more ago; as I have stacks of these magazines and have not nearly prepared all the recipes they contain.  However, I always love most of what I find in there.  I may just subscribe again because the recipes are that good!  The fact that they are quick and easy suits me very well.  [I don't care for cooking much, but since we do like to eat, it's a necessity.  LOL]

Because it’s going to be 95 degrees tomorrow, I decided to pass on anything that required the oven.  So here’s what we’re having.

Pork Chop and Potato Casserole

8 pork chops

8 large baking potatoes, peeled and sliced

2 cans cream of mushroom soup, undiluted

Brown the pork chops in a little oil.  Add potatoes and soup.  Cover and cook for 45 minutes, or until the potatoes and chops are fully cooked.

Easy-peasy!  :)   I’ll serve this with my tomato-cucumber-artichoke salad and perhaps some vanilla ice cream for dessert.  YUM!

Tomato Cucumber Artichoke Salad

1-2 large slicing tomatoes, diced
2 cucumbers, peeled and sliced

1 jar marinated artichokes (oil included)

Parmesean cheese, grated

Italian salad dressing

Toss tomatoes, cucumbers and artichokes (with oil marinade) in a large bowl, sprinkle liberally with Parmesean cheese and pour about 1/4 – 1/2 cup of Italian dressing over and chill well before serving.
