Aloha Pork Chops

Oh this is a good one people! A little bit Hawaiian, a little bit just pure yummy! I hope you enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon lemon-pepper seasoning
• 4 boneless pork loin chops (3/4 inch thick)
• 1 teaspoon plus 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1 cup sweet-and-sour sauce
• 1 can (20 ounces) pineapple chunks, drained
• 1/2 medium green pepper, julienned
• 1/2 cup chopped red onion
• 6 cups cold cooked rice
• 1/4 cup stir-fry sauce

Directions:

1. Sprinkle pork chops with lemon-pepper. In a large skillet, brown chops on both sides in 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high heat; remove and set aside. Drain skillet; add sweet-and-sour sauce and pineapple chunks. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; return chops to skillet. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until meat juices run clear.
2. Meanwhile, in another skillet, saute the green pepper and onion in remaining oil for 2 minutes. Add rice and stir-fry sauce; cook and stir for 4 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer to a serving platter; top with pork chops.

Meal Plan #12!

June 6th - 13th

Aaaaaaand we're back!

I only took a week off... not too shabby! I probably should take another week off to really get settled but I can't help myself. Being a stay at home mom for the time being is taking a toll on me and I feel like I need to keep myself busy with "things" to do other than entertain Landon allllll day {although that's my number one task obviously}. Anyway, this week is kind of missmash and I already have a few nights of things planned but I thought I'd give it a go anyway :)

So, on to week 12! I think Adam is going back to Spokane this weekend to get the rest of our stuff so Fri/Sat Landon and I are going to fend for ourselves. So on Friday I made dinner plans with my sister :)

Monday: Aloha Pork Chops - a good one from week #1 :)

Tuesday: Mom took out some salmon that I imagine will get baked with lots of butter, onions and lemon... YUM!

Wednesday: We're heading to Grandma's house to celebrate her birthday and BBQ burgers!

Thursday: Angel Chicken Pasta

Friday: Cloverleaf!!!! I can't believe it took me over a week to get there!

Saturday: TBD... something easy.

Sunday: French's Onion Chicken Cordon Blue {I linked to my regular French's Onion Chicken but I'm doing a twisted version... I'll try to take pictures and post an updated recipe
