Today’s Menu: Italian Herbed Pork Chops w/ Steakhouse Seasoned Diced Potatoes, Green Beans, and Whole Grain Bread

Tried a new Pork Chop recipe for dinner tonight, Italian Herbed Pork Chops. I love marinating Chops in JB’s Fatboy Sauces but this recipe is a keeper! I used Kraft Free Italian Dressing to marinate the Chops and used Chives, Basil, and Oregano as my herbs. The Italian dressing gives the Chops great flavor while the Herbs provide flavor and a nice crust to the Chops. Everyone loved them! I’ll be adding this to menu much more often. I left the recipe at the end of the post.

For sides we had Simply Potatoes Steakhouse Seasoned Diced Potatoes, Green Beans, and Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. It was the first time we had tried the Simply Potatoes Steakhouse Seasoned Diced Potatoes. These add another good Potatoe side dish. They come all ready seasonedand they’re seasoned just right! I left the description and web site link to Simply Potatoes below. For dessert later a slice of Pillsbury Nut Quick Bread topped with Breyer’s Carb Smart Vanilla Ice Cream.
