I'm just gonna start off by, well... cheating. I already told you what my favorite food is, in this post. And, Chicken Pot Pie IX is the most amazing and delicious food that there is on this planet.

And, so I don't have to go check in with the department of the redundancy department, I'm going to post another, not quite as amazingly delicious but still verrrry yummy recipe. And it happens to be a beautiful food, so I'm going to include, yes... pictures. Yay.

This falls under the category of what my sweet husband calls a "Jenny Creation". I kinda made it up, with what called my name from the fridge... and... I don't, ummm... measure, so I'm gonna guess. Sorry.

We recently ordered a half a hog. I know, a HOG? We don't usually eat too much pork. With a price that I couldn't pass up, and really good bacon that my hubby couldn't pass up, and we ended up jumping on the hog. But it's a contented hog. It's from the "Home of Contented Hogs"! I am not making that up, it's a hog farm in Iowa. And, a contented hog is a yummy hog, right?? Sooooo, we have a plethora of all things pork in our freezer, including many pork chops.

Here goes. We'll call it "Italian Spinach Pork Chops".

Ingredients:

4 pork chops, 3/4" thick (ours were bone-in, but it would work with any chop)

3T horseradish mustard

6oz fresh mozzarella (what we used, regular mozzarella or really any cheese would work too)

1/2 lb. chopped fresh spinach, blanched

1t dried basil

salt and pepper to taste

1T parmesean cheese

4oz deli ham, cut into 1/2" squares

additional parmesean

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400.

In a small bowl, combine blanched spinach, basil, salt, pepper, and parmesean. Set aside.

Place pork chops on a lightly greased pan or stoneware pan. Spread mustard evenly over pork chops. Layer cheese, spinach mixture, and ham on top of pork chops. Sprinkle with parmesean.

Bake for 45 minutes or until done.

YUM-MY. My kids devoured this.
