I used to love to cook. Now preparing dinner is like the worst. chore. ever.

So... what's for dinner F14?

I have thin sliced porkchops in the fridge that need to get cooked soon so bonus points if you can tell me what to do with them. Thanks!

We are having a roast in the crock pot with potatoes and carrots. I wish I could use the crock pot every night. We should have a crock pot recipe thread

@nebraska84 We have had crockpot threads in the past... but probably worth repeating!

My favorite thing to do with pork chops is put them in a skillet with a can of cream of golden mushroom soup (a little milk to thin it out, garlic, pepper, salt), red bell peppers, onions and let it cook. Then I make mashed potatoes to go with the pork chops and the gravy. It's really good.

I'm with you on the big chore part. I love to cook/bake and used to put a lot of thought into meals. Now I plan whatever I can make while entertaining LO in the high chair.

We just went to Olive Garden for lunch, and I brought home a meal. I work tonight, so I'm having a Tim hortons crispy chicken sandwich (because omg delicious) and h is having hot dogs.

I'd just grill those pork chops, add a salad or whatever veg you have on hand, and baked potatoes if you must have potatoes. (I put baked potatoes in the microwave and then grill with the meat. Ain't nobody got time to bake a potato for an hour.)

crock pot is cooking me dinner right now, pork chops w/ apples. And I'll have H make an acorn squash and probably green beans for sides.

For pork chops, we either grill, or I'll brown them in a skillet, put them in a pan and cover with mushroom gravy (cream of mushroom soup + milk), and bake them for an hour (ish). Back home, mom would make potato dumplings (yum!) to go with these, but since DH doesn't like them, usually I just do rice.

We are having... hamburger helper. No joke, it was actually planned that way. I'm working a long day (for me--8 hours at 1st job, maybe an hour at the 2nd), and DH worked 12 hours last night, plus he is keeping DD today (so he hasn't slept but maybe an hour).

Shrimp in a white wine, garlic, lemon sauce, over pasta for DH, and over green beans for me.

Having friends over for dinner we are having a chicken broccoli rice & cheese casserole and chocolate chip cookie cheesecake for dessert. Made the cheesecake and prepped casserole during LOs nap so all I have to do is put it in the oven!

I like pork cooked in the skillet with teriyaki sauce and stir-fried veggies. ...and no idea what's for dinner here!

DH LOVES teriyaki sauce! I could marinate a cow tongue in that shit and he would probably eat it!

lucky for me tonight the ILs are taking us out for mexican food--im so excited!

but tomorrow, I'm making buffalo chicken wings in the slow cooker and were having sweet potato fries with them.  

and were having pork chops on friday!! i make them in a super unhealthy way... season them with italian herb mrs dash, dredge in flower, then egg whites, then in breadcrumbs (breadcrumbs with grated parmesan cheese mixed in -- the parmesan cheese is the best part!)

then pan fry them for a few mins each side. throw them in the oven at 350 for another 10-15mins until they're cooked through.

 i serve them with stuffing and a veggie. its soooo good lol. but yeah very not good for you

Couldn't help myself. Rushing the season. And I had fresh tomatoes, mmm.

We're having chili tonight, too With cornbread, yum!

For pork chops, I like to cook them in a skillet with apples and onions, then deglaze the pan with a little balsamic vinegar.

* Stuck in  box! I am so jealous. I loooove chili and we actually have cornbread mix because my friend was getting rid of all her gluten products and gave it to me. But it is 90 degrees outside right now and only supposed to get hotter for the weekend. I don't even want to turn on my oven to make the pizza tonight. In fact, I may just grill the pizza.

Grilled pizza is delicious!

I made lasagna rollups tonight, but here is how I prefer pork chops:

Smothered and slow cooked
