Oh my goodness, Friends! It is my great pleasure to share with you today, one of my FAVORITE recipes! Unfortunately (depending on how you look at it, *wink*), my hubby isn't as crazy about this one, so I end up eating it all myself. Darn! (<---Dripping with sarcasm!) I love the flavor the pork lends to these veggies. I often try to recreate this dish, even when I don't have pork chops on hand, but nothing can quite compare to the wonderful flavor and filling nature of this original recipe. This recipe comes from Taste of Homes. I first had it when my Grandma made it for a family dinner many years ago. Recently I entered the nutritional data into MyFitnessPal and was pleased to find that it's actually pretty healthy too! Which is AWESOME to hear, because I love it an it is extremely flavorful! It's also super cheap to make! Double win! I only needed to grab zucchini and pork chops from the store, the rest I had on hand. Those two items cost me around $8. It makes 6 servings, so even when you figure in the cost of all the other ingredients it's still probably less than $2 per serving! I love that! Try out this tasty recipe soon! You won't be disappointed!

Truth: I intended to eat two servings in one sitting today. However, as I created my chart to keep track of my goals for the month and thought about the people who might read this, not wanting to be a do as I say and not as I do-er, I decided to heed my own advice, pay mind to the portion size of my meal, and only ate half of what I put on my plate. This was a tough choice, but I want to succeed with you guys and set a good example for you and my family. Also, as I worked while I ate, I noticed I felt full anyways. Sure, I still wanted to finish the plate and get to that miserable state of full, but I refrained from doing so. My next big challenge today will be making healthy choices at Rock River Rapids. I also need to get in some good physical activity today (chasing the kids around RRR doesn't really count). I wish you all luck in your own goals as I pursue mine and think of you all holding me accountable. :)
