Ahhh, pork chop casserole. Such a comfort food to me.

This was actually my Aunt Net’s recipe, but I can remember my grandmother making it for us. See, growing up we always got off the bus at my grandparents house until we were old enough to go home alone and when you walked through the door you were immediately hit with the smells of a home cooked meal. During the spring and summer there was always home made lemonade and during the fall apple cider. My favorites were this recipe I am bring you today,  her homemade biscuits which she promptly buttered as soon as they came out of the oven and her homemade vegetable soup with cornbread. We never ate crackers with our soup…always cornbread.

There is one day I will never forget. Me and my older sister got off the bus and as we walked in to my grandparents house the smells of this dish hit us. Throwing book-bags to the side we scrambled to get hands washed and get ready to eat. My grandmother was hanging her wash out back, and my grandfather who was a BIG man in my eyes was in the basement working on some project or another. My older sister decided to get some of the lemonade for herself that was sitting on the counter in a mason jar. As she turned it up to get a big swig she suddenly started spitting and sputtering…she had just drank bleach. She ended up being fine after an afternoon spent in the emergency room. Ok…so maybe she wasn’t really fine, we still wonder about her brain function today at times, but they said she would be just fine. I never did get to eat any of the pork chop casserole that night. So, let’s make it today…

I haven’t written about it in awhile but I am still working towards a healthier version of me. I gave up on the Zumba though, it just about killed me. I am sticking to the treadmill…it is much more my pace and I don’t have to worry about making my body move in ways that were designed for a size 2 person with coordination that I have never possessed.

One of the things that I have had the hardest time with is snack foods. When I snack I typically want crispy, salty type items. Yep, like chips. So in my quest to find something satisfying I found out about Old London. The Roasted Garlic Melba Snacks are my favorite!! Solves my craving, is filling, and tastes great. All of their snacks that I have tried are really good though…the kids particularly like the bagel chips.

Old London Snack Foods

One of the things that I have found with Melba toast is that they make great little sandwiches. Add a piece of turkey and some Swiss cheese between two Melba toast slices and you have a great healthy snack that is super quick and easy to throw together. Old London has some healthy alternative recipes on their site that you can use to change up your meals and snacks with. You can read more about those by visiting :  http://www.toastforeverydayhealth.com/food/

You can also join in on the fun by entering the Aloha Old London Sweepstakes at http://www.facebook.com/OldLondonFoods.  I know I would LOVE a trip to Hawaii, and sure could use a relaxing vacation. The sweepstakes is open from now until June 30th.
