Home From Vacation and Bacon and Cheddar Pork Chops.

Well, I survived a family vacation! You may question that comment, but when you have a child with Asperger's and ADHD, who exhibits problem behaviors due to diet and other factors, driving for 7 hours and staying away from home for 5-6 days is something that can cause anxiety. At least for this momma, it does. It was a nice trip to Hot Springs, Arkansas. We had a really nice condo, that had a full kitchen, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms. The youngest is now in love with balconies!! Anytime that we were in our condo, she was on the balcony. 

We hit a lot of the typical "tourist" attractions, but it was a good "first" vacation for the girls and for me. I feel more comfortable do other vacations and possibly hitting destinations that are farther away, next time.


Bacon and Cheddar Pork Chops
4 pork chops
2 eggs
1/4 C. of milk
1.5oz real bacon bits
1 C. gluten free bread crumbs
1-1/2 C.  shredded cheddar or cheddar blend cheese
chopped green onions to garnish (optional)

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In one wide dishes, whisk together the eggs & milk. In another, mix together the bacon bits, bread crumbs, & 1 cup of the shredded cheese. Dip the pork chops in the egg/milk mixture & then into the breadcrumb mixture. Shake off any excess crumbs & then dip back into the egg/milk mixture again. Dredge in the breadcrumb combination a second time & press the mixture into each side. Place in a sprayed baking dish. Sprinkle on any remaining breadcrumb mixture, and press down lightly. Bake for 30 minutes, flipping over halfway through cooking. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese & return to the oven for 2 minute, just enough to melt the cheese. Garnish with chopped green onions, optional.
