i have the best job ever as a stay at home mommy to three handsome young men...thanks to my hard working husband! after a full day with my boys (which i love) i can't wait for my hubby to get home so we can all sit around the table for dinner. it's a very special time for our family so i try to keep it fun and unpredictable! that is why i am on a mission to find new recipes, tweak old ones and share them with YOU!

pork chops and french onion rice

i will describe this dish in two words, scrumptious and easy!  and what mom wouldn't want that for dinner?  enjoy!


1 TB. vegetable oil
4 bone-in pork chops
1 can condensed french onion soup (10.5oz)
1/2 c. water
ground black pepper
1 stalk celery, chopped
1/4 tsp. dried thyme
1/2 c. uncooked regular long-grain white rice


heat the oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat.  add the pork chops and cook until well browned on both sides.  pour off any fat.  add the other ingredients and stir.  heat to a boil.  reduce heat to low.  cover and cook for 45min. or until the pork is fork tender and the rice is cooked.  stir rice occasionally while cooking.

  1. THANK YOU Heather!! I bought bone-in pork chops yesterday, thinking I'd do them on the grill last night, but didn't end up having them. Was wishing today that I would've done them since it's raining... now we can STILL enjoy them tonight!! Anxious to try this out!! :)
