Had to share this super simple idea/recipe

This week, I found pork chops on sale. They weren't boneless, they were different cuts. There was no consistency at all. Almost like those "spare" chops or maybe the "new guy" cut them lol. So I picked up a package, unsure what I was going to do with them. I usually grill my boneless chops, but these had bones, so I couldn't do that. I mulled over it for a few days. Finally I decided to experiment. I got the trusty crockpot out. I pulled out the pork chops, cut the package open, dusted each side with Lawry's Seasoned Salt, placed in the crockpot, turned it on high for 4 hours and went to work. (changed cooking time to 3 hours on high, 6 on low!) By the time I got home, of course they were falling apart BUT delicious! Even my 10 year old that doesn't like much of anything other than bean burritos loved them! Hubby said they were definitely a hit! The only thing I would change next time is the cooking time. One chop was on the dry side. Despite the fact that it made plenty of broth (and if I had made potatoes, I would have drained the juices and made pork gravy!!), one chops was dry. I will change the cooking time to 3 hours next time and I may check the chops at 2 hours. I may play with this recipe since cooking on low may be the answer so that it isn't done too soon before I get off work for lunch. I like my meals to take right at 4 hours so they are just finishing up about 11:30 when I head home from work!

Great Weekend

I don't think I even want to get on the scales Monday. I had 5 of my 6 kiddos here this week, plus Shena's boyfriend, and my grandson, Kayson. I went a little crazy with the "spoiling". We haven't eaten everything yet, but there is still one more day. I haven't had ANY sleep because of Zoe and her no sleeping at night habits. Anyway, I hate that it's so cold these days. I want to get back to exercising so I can "firm up". I haven't tried any new recipes. I have been so busy with taking care of my family and unpacking and organizing the new house, I haven't had time for myself. I am determined to keep this house clutter free. That starts with everything having a place. We are also making the kids keep their toys in their rooms instead of scattered from front to the back of the house and everywhere in between!

Made these yesterday, with some tweaks. I'll post my recipe later!
