Nita’s notes:

These chops are delicious!!  Like I said, they are GREAT with barley; but, they are also flavorfully fantastic with brown rice, quinoa, bulgar, etc..  And I just love collards; but, any green veggie is splendid.

This is an easy dinner entrée that can be done in minutes—MINUTES, I say.  I just LOVE pork chops, really I do.  Next to fish, it’s my favorite protein.

I hope you enjoy this simply scrumptious entrée.  And, as always, make healthier choices for a happier life!
