Recipe of the Week! Italian Pork Chops!

Last night the boy and I had a nice fire and finished off some more projects. Not what was planned mind you, but that is what took place. So I decided to find something different to do with pork chops that I had thawed and this is what I found. It was very good, a lot like chicken parm, but we actually liked this better I think. We are supposed to get another 6 inches of snow here tonight. Man, winter is really here!
