Recipe of the Week! Pork Chops with Whiskey Mushroom Sauce

I made this a while back. We both really enjoyed it and had some squash and roasted potatoes with it. It was astonishing to me that we actually had to break the seal on the Jack Daniels, and for a recipe no less. It is gorgeous here today, hoping to get out for a walk at some point! Enjoy!
