Book of the Month

"When Anne Shirley arrives at Green Gables farm on Prince Edward Island, she surprises everyone: first of all, she is a girl. Marilla Cuthbert and her brother, Matthew, had specifically asked for an orphan boy. She has bright red hair that won't manage and a mouth that won't shut. Nothing will ever be the same at Green Gables!"  (http://www.goodreads.com/).


Anne of Green Gables was a great book. I read the entire series a few years ago. Although I found some of the books with Anne's children boring I am really glad I stuck it out and read the series.

Pork Chop Casserole

Jesse was teasing me the other day that when we first got married I often cooked the same meals each week. Now that I think about it, it's true. So to make myself feel better I am posting a few recipes I have picked-up over the years.

PORK CHOP CASSEROLE

4 Pork Chops
flour
oil
3 cups potatoes, cubed
1 cup fresh peas, fresh or frozen
3 tbsp onion, chopped
2 tbsp parsley, minced
1 can cream of mushroom
1 envelop Lipton's french onion soup mix
3/4 cup hot water

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Dip chops in flour and brown in hot oil. In Large casserole dish, place potatoes, peas, onion, cream of mushroom and french onion soup mix. Mix together. Top with browned chops. Sprinkle with parsley, salt and pepper. Cover and bake for 1 hour or until potatoes are done.

French Dip

I got the idea of this reciepe from the Rachel Ray magazine. Jesse and Landon love this meal. Landon ecpecially love the dipping part.

FRENCH DIP

1 can campbell's Condensed French Onion Soup
1 can campbell's Beef Broth
2 tbsp. worcestershire sauce
1 lb deli sliced roast beef
4 hoagie rolls
4 slices pepper jack cheese

Broil hoagie rolls until golden brown. Then heat oven to 400 degrees. Heat soup, broth and worcestershire sauce in saucepan over medium-high heat to a boil. Add beef and heat through (we like to add banana peppers also), Stirring occasionally. Divide beef among rolls. Top beef with cheese slices and place sandwiches onto baking sheet. Bake 3 minutes or until cheese is melted. Spoon extra soup mixture into bowls for dipping.
