Gravy Baked Pork Chops
Great chops, but I ended having to microwave the pork at the end to get it up to 170 degree internal temp.. but great flavor and very moist! I used the cream of chicken as someone suggested and it was great. I had flash fried the chops in sauteed onions and minced garlic, and used extra light olive oil instead of butter. Other than that, I followed the recipe. I served with small quartered potatoes and carrots, drizzled with olive oil, salted, peppered, with a couple bay leaves, some oregano and rosemary. Magnifico!

Banana Bread I
the recipie is simple and easy to follow. i made this with my not-so-attentive boyfriend and it turned out great! we ate a whole loaf right out of the oven! i did cover the pans with tinfoil half way through the cooking time and i took them out 10minutes early. they would have burned otherwise. ive made bread in these pans once before and there was no way to get the bread out in tact and it was awful scrubbing the crust off the sides. this time i used "PAM with flour for baking" and there was the perfect degree of bread/pan seperation. the bread fell right out, no mess

Better Than Best Fried Chicken
i read many reviews and implimented more seasonings(paprika and garlic)like they said. i used chicken legs instead of breasts, left them in the soup mixture for maybe 20mins before coating with flour mixture, let that set until doughy and made sure the oil was very hot(only had 2c. veg oil) the breading still fell off and chicken wasnt very flavorful. was moist and tender though. prolly Not going to make this again, my boyfriend mentioned the breading was "weird lookin"
