For dinner tonight I did an entree and a side dish from Pinterest.  I had cauliflower in the fridge and wanted to do something different than the usual roasting which is good just wanted to do something else.  I also, had the pork chops that I would've cooked last night but, changed the menu at the last moment.  So, the first dish is from www.crazycook.com and the side dish is from www.littlebcooks.blogspot.com .  Both dishes were really good the pork chops were tender and juicy and the cauliflower twice baked was a bit rich but, really good.

                            Italian Breaded Pork Chops

3 eggs, lightly beaten
3 Tbls. milk
1 1/2 c. Italian style bread crumbs
1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese
2 Tbls. dried parsley
2 Tbls. olive oil
4 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped (I just smashed them easier to pull out)
4 pork chops (I used about an inch thick bone in pork chop)

Preheat oven to 325.  In a small bowl, beat together eggs and milk.  In a separate bowl mix bread crumbs, cheese and parsley.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet.  Stir in garlic, and cook until lightly browned.  Remove garlic, reserving for other uses.
Dip each pork chop into egg mixture, then into bread crumb mixture, coating evenly.
Place coated chops in the skillet, and brown about 5 minutes on each side.
Place the skillet in the preheated oven, and cook 25 minutes or to an internal temp of 145 degrees F.

My note:  Again, since it is only the two of us I cut the recipe.  I only used 1 egg with the milk.  Only 1/2 c. bread crumbs the same amount of Parmesan cheese just cause I like cheese and I omitted the parsley flakes because they were already in the bread crumbs.  I think to have really good pork is to not overcook and to let it rest before cutting into it.  This recipe is a keeper the bearded fella said so :)

                                    Loaded Twice Baked Cauliflower

1 head cauliflower
1 Tbls. butter
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 c. sour cream
1/2 c. green onions, chopped ( including white parts)
1/4 c. Parmesan cheese, grated
1 c. cheddar cheese, shredded
6 slices bacon, cooked until crisp then chopped

Preheat oven to 350 spray a baking dish with cooking spray (8 x8 pan but, really depends on how big the head of cauliflower is).  Cut the stem off cauliflower and cut into medium size pieces.  Place in a steamer type pan, and cook until tender.  Transfer to a bowl and mash up with a potato masher.
Add the butter, salt, pepper, sour cream, green onions, 3/4 of the chopped bacon and the Parmesan cheese stir to combine.
Place into baking dish, top with cheddar cheese then remaining chopped bacon.
Put in the oven and cook for about 30 minutes or until it's bubbling.

My note:  I basically followed the recipe.  This is a very rich dish and it does somewhat taste like twice baked potatoes.  I will make this again however, I think this could be a dish on it's own without anything else with it.  Maybe meatless Monday's!!!  Note:  If you were to do this for meatless Monday omit the bacon and serve a side salad with a simple vinegar based dressing.

Sorry not a very good picture it's not something I do well picture taking that is but, I can cook.  Again very good meal the bearded fella enjoyed it so, that makes me happy.  Enjoy!!!
