Pork Chops with Stuffing and Green Beans

This weekend was the perfect example of Texas weather. Thursday was sunny and near-80 degrees, Friday and Saturday were cold and rainy. Miserably so. Then Sunday, starts of a bit dreary but then the sun comes out and it turns out to be a beautiful day. What the hell? Don't get me wrong, I got a LOT of cleaning and all my laundry done on Saturday. In fact, I never left my apartment after I got home from work on Friday. It was actually kind of nice. But, it would have been nicer if the sun would have been shining through my windows. At least I had that on Sunday, so I should be thankful :)

I've had these pork chops on the food calendar for several weeks now, and for one reason or another they kept getting put off. Sunday, despite my oven deciding to catch on fire - don't ask - I finally got them made. And I remember how much I really enjoyed them the other times I've made them. I'm not much of a stuffing fan,  but I do like boxed stuffing. Don't judge. And the first time I made these green beans I was shocked at how easy and how delicious they were! This is probably one of the easiest meals I've made in awhile...and that's saying something since most of my stuff is fairly quick and easy. 35 minutes, and most of that is hands-off. Throw in a pan and stick it in the oven. Make it. Soon.
