6 bone in pork chops
1 envelope Lipton Recipe Secrets Savory Herb with Garlic Soup Mix
2 Tbs vegetable oil
1/2 C hot water

Preheat oven to 425 F
Place the pork chops in a broiler pan (without the rack). Brush both sides of the chops with soup mixed with oil.
Bake chops for 25 minutes or until done
Remove chops. Add hot water to pan. Stir and scrap the yummy bits from the bottom of the pan. Serve over the chops.

Our dinner exchange group is going great. I am so glad that we started this - it's so nice to cook only 1 night during the week.  We've actually inspired another group in our neighborhood to start and it's working out just as well for them. 

My dad asked if we were saving money by doing this and I really think we are, with the exception of one meal I made that was really pricey (the Cafe Rio Pork Salad). We're also saving money by not going out to dinner during the week. You know those nights where you have so much going on that you just can't fit in making dinner. Now I don't have to even go somewhere to pick it up - it's brought to me. 

I have several recipes to go along with this week so I'll post one a day to keep this from being a huge post.
Enjoy!
