Pork Chops and Rice

Tonight; we kept it simple.   I wanted comfort (as Kev and I are both feeling under the weather) and I decided to pick up some meat from our new local grocery store because I heard wonderful things about the food itself, the wonderful service behind that counter, and also the prices.

My mom always made Pork Chops with cream of mushroom soup and baked them.  YUM.   But I wanted some rice too....so alas; I googled "baked pork chops and rice" and I found a random recipe and decided to twist it to work for us.

Ingredients:
4 pork chops
1 cup long grain white rice (uncooked)
1 1/2 cup water
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
Onion salt
Salt
Pepper

Stir together: 1 cup of rice, 1 1/2 cups of water, and 1 - 1 1/4 cup of cream of mushroom soup.    Sprinkle in some onion salt and stir together.  
Put this in the bottom of a baking dish (at least 3 quarts).
Next season the pork chops with salt and pepper (just a bit will do-you can always add more later).  Place the pork chops on top of the mix.   (They may sink into it a little; this is okay.)
Now take last of the cream of mushroom and dallop over the tops of your chops.  
Cover them and bake for 1 1/4 hours at 350 degrees.

Even my picky eater ate these and the rice (he hates rice!).
5 star rating (all 5 of the Dokkestul's cleaned their plates)!

CalorieCount:   The rice mix and cream of mushroom total about 935 total; I divided that into about 6 servings and it is 155 a serving.   Add in a pork chop, depending on the cut you use; I used a boneless loin chop and rounded it up to 175 calories.     So my total for tonight was only 330 calories :-)   YUMMYYYYYY.

MN Wild Rice Burgers

After a recent trip to Duluth, where I had the BEST wild rice burger at Fitgers Brewhouse, I came home and decided to try my hand at it.    I googled and found this recipe that even MENTIONED Fitgers version, so I knew I had to start there!   I started off by cooking up a batch of wild rice.   I'd say it made about 3 cups cooked. While the wild rice was cooking, I sautéed up some minced garlic, diced celery and diced onions in a tablespoon of olive oil.  Until they were translucent.  As an after though I threw these in a food chopper because I knew chunks of these items in a burger would turn my kids off! Once that was done, I mixed my wild rice and sautéed veggie mix together.   Next I threw in 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs.  The recipe above called for Asiago cheese, I however could not find any and instead used shredded parmesan.   I seasoned the mix with sea salt, crushed black pepper, oregano, thyme, paprika and caye...

Taco Soup

 My blood, sweat and tears went into this one.  Its a toughy.  Okay; skip the sweat, the blood and tears just came from the butter knife I used to chop up the chicken.  WHO manages to slice open a finger with a BUTTER KNIFE?!  Oh, yeah, MOI! Other than that event; this may have been the easiest thing I've cooked in months.     The hardest part of this recipe was the fact that Fareway foods did not carry green enchilada sauce, and I had to decide what to do instead.   Here is the cast of characters: 1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed 1 (15 oz.) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed 1 (14.5 oz.) can petite diced tomatoes, drained 1 (15.25 oz.) can sweet corn, drained --Oh ha, you don't see this in my picture!??  Silly me; its certainly NOT because I hate corn.  Nope....must have just been missing.    1 (12.5 oz.) can white chicken breast, drained 1 (10.75 oz.) can cream of chicken soup 1 (10 oz.) c...
