Why I love Pork Chops & Stuffing

What is a meal for sharing?  Well really it’s any recipe that you would make and share.  You could share it with your family, or  take a meal to a friend, or neighbor in need.  Or just because.

Other than with my family I have not been sharing a whole lot lately.  I hate how life can get so busy it’s hard to make time for others.  I find I need to be deliberate about sharing and reaching out to others.  If I don’t mark it off on my calendar and make it a date, then it usually doesn’t happen.  Sometimes I am spontaneous, but mostly I have to admit I get busy with my own family and forget everyone else.

Saturday my calendar is telling me to bring my dear friends a meal and I am hoping they like Pork Chops & Stuffing, because that’s what they’re getting! (wink)  Pork Chops & Stuffing is my Mom’s recipe.  My kiddos love it! But  because of my need to eliminate “boxed” stuffing from the recipe, I have made this recipe a bit more time consuming.  I will give you  both versions of the recipe.  It’s actually really good with Stove Top Stuffing…well, don’t ask sometimes I just like to make things more “homemade”, but it’s not really necessary….if you get my drift.
