Nanny to Mommy

***Note: This picture is from their website***

Since some of you may know, I am a Bzz Agent and one of my very recent campaigns that I am on is The Pork Be Inspired campaign. So since I received some awesome coupons to try Kroger Private Selection pork products, I decided to get in the kitchen and whip up a very yummy recipe. This week it was Pork with Dijon Sauce. I got this recipe from Campbell's Kitchen.

What you'll need:

4 boneless pork chops, 3/4-inch thick (about 1 pound)

1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 cup sliced mushrooms (about 3 ounces)

1 can (10 3/4 ounces) Campbell's® Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup (Regular or 98% Fat Free)

1/4 cup milk (I used Kroger brand cream of mushroom soup)

2 tablespoons Chablis or other dry white wine (I used a Sauvignon Blanc)

1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard 

What to Do:

1. Season the pork with the lemon pepper.

2. Heat the oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat.  Add the pork and cook for 6 minutes or until browned on both sides.  Remove the pork from the skillet.

3. Add the mushrooms to the skillet.  Reduce the heat to medium.  Cook until the mushrooms are tender, stirring occasionally.

4. Stir the soup, milk, wine and mustard in the skillet and heat to a boil.  Return the pork to the skillet.  Reduce the heat to low.  Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until the pork is cooked through.

We served ours with carrots and wild rice. This pork recipe was very yummy and will be included in my recipe rotation from now on! :)

Lizzie had a great birthday. We celebrated her birthday with a balloon and a cupcake. Her Aunt graduated from Nursing School that night so we went to that and out to eat later.



12/9 was her birth date but 12/11 (her original EDD) is when we had her party. Many people came and she got lots of presents and had a lot of fun. :)



12/12 was Lizzie's One Month Check-Up:


^{The had to prick her finger but her blood work came back normal, she had to get 5 shots, she weighed 18.2 pounds. Doctor said she could drink whole milk now and that she can eat everything but spicy food. The doctor also gave her a sucker for being such a good girl.}

12/17 we went and saw Santa.


^{She was not impressed but at least she didn't CRY! :)}

CHRISTMAS! 12/18 was hubby's mom's side,


^{Our Entire Family}

12/22 was my dad's extended families side,


^{With my Grandmother}

12/23 was hubby's dad's side, 12/24 we got together with hubby's direct family and did our traditional reading of "The Night Before Christmas",


^{Lovin on Lexus}

Christmas Day we went over to the in-laws and then to my SIL's house really quick and THEN to do a store check for hubby's work and THEN (lol) to my dad's side's Christmas, 12/26 my mom's family came over. WHEW! We were busy people!


That's it! We had a busy, busy month! Maybe we can have some time to relax now... :)
