Pork with Parmesan & Sage

I made these parmesan & sage pork chops for dinner last week. We did some nights with salad only and other nights with mashed potatoes, corn and green beans.

Really easy plus its from Cooking Light. The recipe says each serving (1 thin sliced pork chop) has 272 calories.

ingredients
1 slice white (I substituted wheat) bread, pulsed into breadcrumbs using a food processor
1/4 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
1 tbs chopped fresh sage
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 tbs prepared mustard
2 large egg whites beaten
4 thinly sliced boneless pork loin chops
1 1/2 tbs canola oil

Set up a breading station: 1st plate with flour, mustard and egg whites in the 2nd plate and the breadcrumbs, cheese, sage, salt and pepper. Dredge chops one at a time first in flour, shaking off excess, then in the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, and finally into the breadcumb mixture. Repeat with remaining pork chops. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add oil to pan, swirl to coat. Cook pork 3 minutes on each side until done. (I actually found mine to be undercooked at that time so I put all 4 into a 300 degree oven for another 10 minutes to keep finish the cooking process.)

Daisy Sleeps

We've learned several things since getting Daisy... she's clearly adorable, too smart for her own good, is able to sleep all night with no accidents, makes friends with other dogs, doesn't like the doorbell... this list could go on and on. BUT one of the funniest things we've learned is that she does not just curl up in a ball and go to sleep. She has several sleeping positions that range from comfortable looking to well, not comfortable looking.

Food Truck Fest + In & Out

We went to the first food truck festival in Dallas recently. Two things to say - really excited about all the different food trucks and it was entirely too hot to have an outdoor food festival in a parking lot at 6 pm. Its August people!

We only grabbed one thing while there. We just couldn't handle the sun. No clouds, no shade, no fans. Another thing we noticed is that even though we got there at 5:30 (30 minutes early) some of the trucks were already running out of items by 6, the actual time the fest was supposed to begin.

Anyway. We tried Jack's Chowhound and got this sandwich with fajita meat, cheddar, pico and horseradish mayo. It was pretty good. I'm also interested in trying their steak frites (steak over parmesan fries). I really hope the festival is better next time. I think more space and an option to stand in some shade would have gone a long way!


So, after splitting this sandwich, we were starving and couldn't stand in another line without passing out so we headed over to In & Out on our way home. We've think the burgers are bigger here than they were in Cali. Still delish though!




Clearly we had a super healthy dinner that night. Yikes. We promptly took Daisy for a walk.
