One Hour Challenge Recipes

Woo-hoo!  My carpenter only has a couple of minor touch ups to do on Monday and he's completed his part of our remodel project!

On Wednesday, I will EMPTY OUT MY CRAFT ROOM COMPLETELY! And the new floor tile will get installed on Thursday.  I'm so anxious to get this all behind me so I can enjoy my room better.  Right now there's carpet on the floor. (who knew I'd be scrapping back here? lol!) The carpet has been damaged by my never ending supply of glue boogers I seem to have when I use my ATG gun.  I chose commercial tile to replace it so I can just sweep up paper scraps instead of getting down on my hands and knees to pick them up!

Friday, the rest of the house will get new floor coverings too.  It's going to be so very nice to have nice clean carpeting again in the living room and bedrooms!

Knowing that I'll not have computer access or a room to craft in for at least three days, I got my challenge recipes done a little early and decided to just post them now.

 I downloaded the Stove Top image and resized and printed it.  The blue swirl is from Cindy Loo, the chicken and the lettering is from Block Party.


The carrot and onion on the next page is from the Savory cartridge.

PORK CHOPS AND STUFFING
3 bone-in pork chops
1 jar Heinz pork gravy
½ cup chopped onion
2 stalks celery, sliced
1 box Stovetop Cornbread stuffing

Pat pork chops completely dry.  Brown on both sides in
a tiny bit of oil.  Remove from skillet and place into a
greased 9 x 13 casserole dish.  Pour gravy over chops.

Saute onion and celery in drippings left from pork chops.

Prepare stuffing mix according to box directions, adding
about an extra ½ cup water.

Spoon mounds of stuffing mix onto pork chops and bake
uncovered at 350° until the chops are tender.
