Smothered Pork Chops

I was flipping through my cookbooks last week and nothing sounded good to me. Do you ever get in those moods where you want something, but you have no idea what that something is? I was in the mood to cook, but had no cravings. Nothing was jumping out at me, until I flipped to Smothered Pork Chops. Crispy pork chops smothered in a white wine-mushroom-chive cream sauce. This is why it’s essential for cookbooks to have pictures! I think I even said, “Oh yeah, smothered chops for dinner!” I definitely eat with my eyes first.

I’m coming off of 10 days of glorious vacation! It’s a little challenging to get back into the swing of things with getting up early for work, getting ready for work, driving to work, being at work. Sensing a theme here? Yeah, I’m happy to be employed, but I sure do miss being on my own schedule, which most days didn’t include wearing makeup or heels. Getting used to my work schedule isn’t the only thing challenging me. It’s also going back to not eating the house down. No more Doritos, no more Devil Squares. Luckily I’ve got this fantastic, low calorie dinner that tastes like I’m still on vacation. This Tilapia with Fennel-Yogurt Sauce paired with Red Pepper Couscous makes me feel like I’m still splurging, but is much kinder to my hips than all those Doritos!

Zucchini & Yellow Squash Gratin

This Zucchini & Yellow Squash Gratin is a great way to eat your veggies! Although it may not be the healthiest with all that delicious heavy cream! For a special occasion, it’s perfectly acceptable. This was also part of our Christmas dinner along with the world’s best Roasted Pork Tenderloin. I like zucchini and yellow squash a lot, but usually overlook them as a side for special dinners. This gratin changes everything! I like the color of the two squash, but if you don’t like zucchini you can use all yellow squash and vice versa.
