Crock Pot Pork Chops on Rice

I've never really been a fan of Martha Stewart. I was never sure why, either. I mean, I love crafts, creating things to make people smile, and reworking things to be more my style, but I could never get into Martha's style. Kelly's blog today shows me why. I guess I may have a little more Southern style in me than I thought! I've always thought being a southern belle was so romantic, but I've always thought of myself of more the farm girl type. I'll let you check out Kelly's blog yourself, but I had to laugh when I read of Martha not ever having heard of Cream of Chicken soup or tasting Cream of Mushroom soup! Almost every casserole I make has cream of chicken soup or cream of mushroom soup. Both are a staple in our home.

Here's one of the favorites at our house:

Crock pot Pork Chops

10 oz can fat free cream of chicken soup

1 pkg golden onion soup mix

1/2 cp fat free sour cream

(6) 4 oz lean pork chops

3 cups cooked white rice

Mix soups and sour cream together. Coat each pork chop with soup mixture and place in crock pot. Pour any remaining soup mixture over shops and cook on low for 7-8 hours. Serve over cooked rice.

Disney pictures

I've tried. I'm frustrated. I can't figure it out! I was trying to post a slide show of our Disney pictures, but I couldn't cut and paste it. So I did a direct post from Shutterfly, but it posted on my other blog. So here is the link to it. There are more, but these are the best ones. I think I totaled 130 or so pictures that day! Yes, 24 hours. Isabella had a blast! She was in awe the entire day. One statement summed it up. She looked at me with the biggest smile she could form, and said, "Mommy, I didn't know there was a real Cinderella!" She can't wait to take little sister when she gets bigger! Enjoy!
