I found this recipe in the "Healthy Cooking" section of Taste of Home magazine. Very moist, fast. Dressed with a creamy, yummy sauce :)

Ingredients:

4 boneless pork loin chops (4 oz each)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp all purpose flour

1/3 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
2 Tbsp grated onion
3 tsp minced fresh parsley
1/4 tsp. dried thyme
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
 

Directions:

Beany Burritos

So, this past Monday ended up being a busy day and I had to pick one of the quickest recipes possible in order for everyone to be able to still sit down at the table as a family, which is very important to all of us. Dinner for the night? Beany Burritos. I tore out a section entitled M-F, 5 meals ready in minutes from Parenting magazine and decided to give one a try. This portion of Parenting magazine is now one of my fave go to areas :)  The only real work is slicing the avocado :) Very delicious and simple which is what a mother of 6 children is all about right?

Beany Burritos

Ingredients:

Canned Low-Fat Refried Beans
Bag of shredded cheddar cheese
Salsa
Avocado slices
Tortillas

Directions:

Spread canned low-fat refried beans on a tortilla and top with shredded cheese, salsa and avacado slices. Roll up, wrap in a wet paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds.
