  I want to thank all of you for your well wishes with this pregnancy and baby – and I’ve had a few people asking updates, so I thought I’d give you one! As of today, I am officially overdue. Yeah, not so fun when I was sure I’d have her early. But really, there is nothing much I can do about it to hurry her along. All is still well – we’re just patiently awaiting her arrival.

  One good thing about her not being here yet is that I still get to post, although I’m quickly running out of recipes since there hasn’t been much cooking going on around here lately!! In my dream world, I would have had a lot of posts already written up and ready to go, but that hasn’t happened!!

  I’ve been trying to clean out the pantry (maybe it’s nesting??!!) and I still have quite a few cans of condensed soups in my pantry that are quickly reaching their expiration dates. I know many of you aren’t fans, and really, I’m not usually a big fan either, but with the price of groceries today, I’m trying not to waste anything. Plus, this recipe sounded so easy that I just had to give it a try.

  I was worth trying. Maybe not worth trying again, but it got dinner on the table and left us with full bellies. One thing I didn’t understand about this recipe is that the original has you baking the pork chops for 1 1/2 hours. Thank goodness I have my thermometer, because mine only took about half that long. I do need to mention the Brussels Sprouts side dish that was served along side, because they were really delicious. They were based on this recipe, and definitely worth making!!

  Hopefully I’ll have news of a baby soon!

  Baked Pork Chops
  adapted from allrecipes

  Serves 6

  6 pork chops
  1 teaspoon garlic powder
  1 teaspoon seasoning salt
  2 eggs, beaten
  1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  2 cups Italian-style seasoned bread crumbs
  4 tablespoons olive oil
  1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  1/2 cup milk
  1/3 cup white wine
  8 oz. sliced mushrooms

  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  Rinse pork chops, pat dry, and season with garlic powder and seasoning salt to taste. Place the beaten eggs in a small bowl. Dredge the pork chops lightly in flour, dip in the egg, and coat liberally with bread crumbs.

  Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the pork chops 5 minutes per side, or until the breading appears well browned. Transfer the chops to a 9×13 inch baking dish, and cover with foil.

  Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. While baking, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, white wine and mushrooms in a medium bowl. After the pork chops have baked for 30 minutes, cover them with the soup mixture. Replace foil, and bake for another 20-30 minutes.

   Well, I’m soup girl so this sounds great to me! Cream of mushroom is pretty darn versatile, afterall, it’s needed for the Thanksgiving green bean casserole! I like how you used wine in this along with the other ingredients. I think it sounds really yummy.

   Best wishes to you with the soon to arrive little one. Sending delivery wishes your way …

    I need to clean out my cupboards, if only I could come up with something as tasty as this with the ingredients. That’s so great that you’re still posting, I hope you have a speedy and peaceful delivery!

    Hope your little one arrives soon! My oldest was a week late, so I can imagine how you feel.

    Those pork chops look really tasty… cream of mushroom is about the only condensed soup I keep on hand for a couple of “go to”, quick and easy recipes.

    If you still have some condensed soup, some pork chops and a crock pot you should try my mushroom sauced pork chops. I think they’re similar (except I think you’ll want to make them more than once!)

    Hopefully baby girl will come soon!

    Crossing my fingers that you’ll have the baby soon (or maybe already when you read this?). I was only 2 days overdue when I had my little guy and that by itself was enough.

    I love pork chops and mushrooms. Yum!

    Hope you’ve had the baby by now…or will soon. The reason that they used to cook pork so long was that it used to be MUCH fattier, so long cooking cooked the fat out. Also even further back pork was not always processed in a clean enviornment and the extra cooking killed any trichinosos organisms in the pork. Lucky that we now have lean pork and better processing plants.
