Italian Breaded Pork Chops

First I started out with this recipe that I found at Allrecipes.com
Then I modified it because I really don't like to add egg wash or milk to meats. 
So I used Italian salad dressing to wet the pork chops before I dredged them in the Italian Bread crumbs.
They were delicious and we loved them!

Update

The radiologist came in about 5:00 and she was so nice and positive.
She told us that she wasn't going to wait for the biopsy's, since the radiation was the same for the cervical and the uterine, that she was just going ahead and scheduling mom for a treatment tomorrow. She said the chemos were different depending on the cervical or uterine, but that the radiation was the same and there was no reason not to go ahead and get started. So YAY! Thank you for your prayers. I really think they are helping.
God Bless all of you!

Prayer Request!

My mom, Penny, has just been diagnosed with cancer, we are waiting on biopsies to determine what kind. She has a large mass, in her uterus. The mass is choking off the ureture(-sorry about not sure about spelling, but they are the tubes from kidneys to bladder). The doctors do not believe that they can do surgery because of this causing damage to the kidneys.
They will be starting radiation, as soon as possible,but that won't be for a couple of days yet.
I am asking for your help in praying and asking that the Lord shrinks this tumor away from the kidneys.
Thank you so much.

Pork Tenderloin

I fixed a pork tenderloin for supper tonight. I think it was one of the best I have ever made.
It didn't fall apart when it was done, for that I have to use the slow cooker, but I will the next time.
First I poured a Dr. Pepper over the tenderloin.
Then I added chopped garlic into the crevasse in the center of the loin.
I sprinkled liberally with garlic salt and fresh ground pepper.
Then I sprinkled some Wild Turkey on the mess and tossed it in the oven for 2 hours at 350 degrees.
I served with brown rice and asparagus.

TONIGHT'S DINNER

Today, completely and totally fed up with the take-out, I dragged myself to the kitchen and made up eight quarts my mom's fabulous marinara sauce. I even managed to make a pot of tea.
Made the sauce with four pounds of Lara's Lean ground beef.

You didn't actually think I was going to give away my mama's best recipe now did you?
Silly you! That one will go with me to the grave, unless Paddycake takes an interest in cooking.
Actually I wanted to share with you how I make Iced Tea.
Lipton makes a wonderful tea called Lemon Soother. It is caffeine free and it is wonderful! I take seven bags of the Lemon Soother Tea and tie them together, pulling the tags off. I then run about 60 ounces of filtered water through my Bunn-O-Matic Coffee Maker, into a large tea pitcher I have. I let that steep for just a few minutes and then pour over ice and enjoy. We don't use sugar or any sweeter. You really won't need it, and since the tea is lemon flavored you don't need any fresh lemon either.
