pork chops and risotto

its been a long time since i've posted. it's not because i haven't been cooking. it's because i keep forgetting to take photos! i'm usually at the end of my meal when i think "oh crap!"

so while this isn't the most amazing meal in the world - i at least remembered to take a photo! :)

tonight i made pork chops topped with spinach dip with mushroom risotto and salad.

let's start with the risotto - this stuff is amazing! i've said before that i'm a 30 minute meals kinda girl and this risotto is so easy and i can just leave it be. it is made by alessi and can be found in the grocery store around the other rice products. so worth the money on this one!



as for the pork chops - i just cooked with with my trusty electric skillet with a little bit of olive oil and some steak seasoning. i didn't think to get anything to make to have with the pork chops - and i was about to be sad when i remembered i had some leftover spinach dip! so i heated that up in the microwave and it was a yummy addition to the pork chops. here is a picture of the final product:




hopefully i'll be better about posting in the future...
