Ok, here is another “diet” recipe. Pork loin chops in mushroom cream sauce with sauteed green beans. This is a great recipe, and super easy to make:

2 tbs butter
1/2 bag frozen green beans ( or about a cup of fresh – fresh is preferable)
1/2 pkg mushrooms, diced
2/3 cup 1/2 and 1/2
Salt and pepper to taste

This is a great recipe, and a standard fall back for Lynne and I when we want a great home cooked meal in about 20 minutes. Awsome!
Bon Appetit!
