Breaded Dijon Pork Chops

I wanted to share this excellent recipe for pork chops. It is really simple and takes ingredients you most likely will have in your fridge. They turned out really great! I served it with sides of veggies and brown rice with butter and Parmesan. Yummy! Here is the recipe. It is from the Taste of Home cookbook, or you can find it online here. A little tip-an easy way to get cracker crumbs is to put them into a gallon-size ziploc bag and smash them. Then you can put the meat right in and shake the bag. Remember to throw to extra crumbs away, you cannot reuse them!
