AWWWW... SO CUTE

Over the weekend, Reilly severely cut her foot.
Mommy had to let Daddy take care of it.
GAH!

An hour later the doorbell rang and two neighborhood 
boys handed Cooper a note for Reilly...


So cute! No?

WHAT'S FOR DINNER?


PORK CHOPS WITH MUSHROOMS & SHALLOTS

INGREDIENTS
1 tsp butter
4 pork loin chops (with bone), 1 inch thick, trim all visible fat
1/2 tsp salt
fresh ground pepper
1/4 cup chopped shallots
1 cup fat free chicken stock
10 oz sliced baby bella mushrooms
1 tbsp dijon mustard
2 tbsp chopped, fresh parsley

DIRECTIONS
In a large frying pan heat the butter over moderately low heat. 
Season pork with salt and pepper. 
Raise heat to medium and add the chops to the pan and sauté for 7 minutes. 
Turn and cook until chops are browned and done to medium, about 7-8 minutes longer. 
Remove the chops and put in a warm spot.

Add shallots to the pan and cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes. 
Add the stock to deglaze the pan, stir in the mustard, 1 tbsp parsley, then add mushrooms, 
season with fresh pepper and cook about 3 minutes, or until mushrooms are done. 
Put the chops on a platter and pour the mushroom sauce over the meat, top with remaining parsley.
