Ranch Spinach Pasta Salad

A WONDERFUL flavorful salad....a bit hit!

1 box Betty Crocker Suddenly Salad Classic pasta salad mix
1/2 cup Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing
1/4 cup sour cream
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice (I used fresh)
2 cups of baby spinach leaves, torn or can use broccoli florets
1 or 2 cups grape tomatoes sliced in half
1 whole cucumber sliced and halved
1 cup julienne (matchstick-cut) carrots (they come in a bag all done!)
1 tablespoons fresh or 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves


Empty Pasta mix (from Suddenly Salad box) into 3-quart saucepan 2/3 full of boiling water. Gently boil uncovered 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Drain pasta; rinse with cold water. Shake to drain well.

In medium bowl, stir 1/2 the contents of seasoning mix (from Suddenly Salad box), the dressing, 1/4 cup sour cream and lemon juice until blended. (I used only 1/2 the packet of seasoning because it was so strong)

Stir in only 1/2 of the dressing mix into the pasta and remaining ingredients. Cover; refrigerate.

Fantastic Pork Chops

This recipe I found a few months back, have made it often, I've tweaked it a bit! Excellent flavor.


4 to 6 Porkchops
salt and pepper
paprika
flour
1 teaspoon butter/margarine
2 teaspoons Olive oil
1 can evaporated milk ( I use only 1/2 can), undiluted
1 can cream of mushroom soup (I use the low fat kind)
1 can mushrooms ( or use fresh if desired)
chopped parsley (optional)
1/2 large sweet onion, sliced
1/2 green pepper sliced


Spray pan with olive oil and saute slices of onion and green pepper. Set aside. Season pork chops to taste with the salt, pepper, and paprika, Dredge chops in flour; brown quickly in skillet in butter and olive oil. Add onions and green pepper to the pork chops. Mix together evaporated milk and cream of mushroom soup together, pour over chops and veggies. Cook on low, stirring until chops are done.
For thin chops cooking will be about 10 minutes. For thick chops 20 to 30 minutes until pink is gone.


This is wonderful served with mashed potatoes or rice.
