Quick, easy, homestyle meal

Just had a great hearty dinner.  I don't normally share recipes, but this was quick and easy to prepare- and will really fill up your belly!
I know how busy Moms are today, and its hard to make a hearty, home style dinner without a lot of fuss.  All you really need is pork chops, green bean casserole fixings , and boxed stuffing. I first added two cans mushroom soup, spices,  and a small amount if finely sliced onions,  then added two cans of green beans to the mushroom mixture- making it all straight in the pan. Then top it with pork chops and made sure to sink them in the mixture just a bit. Then I mixed up some easy boxed stuffing in separate bowl,  preferably a metal bowl.  In a preheated oven at 400 degrees, I placed the pork chop/ green bean casserole in oven. Keep the bowl of stuffing on top of oven (it will begin to fluff with heat). Watch the pork chops and flip if necessary to cook thoroughly. Just before removing,  scoop stuffing mixture on top of pork chops and cook till stuffing had desirable crisp just on top.  Walla! One super filling meal- all in one.  Two dish cleanup.

MANtiques Collection - Loving Coastal Living

MANtiques Collection - Loving Coastal Living

What are MANtiques? Fun way of choosing items Men (& ladies) just LOVE! I recently formed the category in the store. Its filled with great MAN gift ideas, and gives the loved men in our life a section all to themselves! Or so we make them think!
The name was stolen from a friend of mine's recent expansion at her antique shop. She added one room to her second floor just for the men. The rest of the floor is filled to the gills with fabulous women's fashion and clothing from all eras, this was her way to keep those men tagging along their spouse something to rummage through while the women tried on clothes. Mastermind, she is!
I've adopted the idea too- just in my online retail store!

Visit the section today- I'll be adding more to the section very soon...

Stay tuned
